not necessarily, like their Dengism, FRSO has a mechanical view on class analysis in US.
New Labor Organizing Committee has a much better line on class forces in the US. Salaried Educators are largely part of the upper semi-proletariat, who are necessary albeit dangerous allies
US troops in the Philippines aren't "defending" anything > they're turning a sovereign nation into the next Ukraine proxy against its #1 trading partner, China.

On Independence Day, Filipinos are right to chant "US troops out now."
