Here is Duterte literally saying I am a socialist http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/779984/duterte-im-a-socialist-not-a-communist-last-card
Also funny to read this profile on Duterte from a few months ago that correctly identifies his leftist leanings but could not predict what his drug war was going to do to us
@plsburydoughboy he can say anything, but what socialist things does he do?
none of that sounds socialist, even for state socialists, but the focus on the small businesses and "Law and order" sounds fascist, it would hardly be the first time a fascist had made superficial "socialism" in order to appeal to the poor
@radicalgraffiti Taguiwalo IS our DSWD secretary. Other leftists are in his cabinet defending or turning a blind eye to his shit. You should do your own reading up on this
@plsburydoughboy i have no idea who that is.
i'm not defending people who call them selves socialists here, in fact i consider most organisation that call themselves socialist/communist pro capitalist.
but i'm not sure why your so instant that duterte is socalist when he doesn't appear to do anything socialist
