BOURGEOISIE AND THE PROLETARIATS

By: Mark Cua

"Meantime the markets ever Growing, the demand ever rising

Even Manufacturers no longer sufficed. 

There upon, Steam and Machinery revolutionized the Industrial Production.

The Place of Manufacture was taken by Giant, Modern Industry

the place of the industrial middle class by Industrial Millionaires

The leaders of the whole industrial armies-Modern Bourgeois

Modern Industry has established the world Market.

We see there now the Bourgeiose is itself the product of a long course

of development, of series of revolutions in the modes of 

production and exchange"

-Manifesto of the Communist

(Philippine Chapter)

The Bourgeiose played a revolutionary part in the Local and National Industries in the Philippines. As you can see, Philippines was once a nation who produces rice, who exports shoes to other nations, who makes sugar cane an important part of Philippine Export. 

Also as Filipino Population grows they tend to neglect and forget how to live the way their forefathers taught them to live. The forefathers of the modern day filipinos are not robber or theives. They are honest barter partners thousands of years ago where you can leave a gold nugget there and come back to it a month after it is still there.

Now many of the Filipino are becoming dishonest and Graduating into Criminal minds. Just like those of Riding in tandems, petty theives on the streets and those who are lazy to work their way to success. They forgot the honest living and industriousness of their forefathers way back the pre spanish colonial times and the Spanish colonial times. 

The Dying Filipino Traditional Industries

None was left in the local and National traditional industry. Marikina was once a thriving shoe making place but as the Philippine Democratic Government stood on its way, it merely became a dying industry. Bicol regions were once known to make Jusi for Barong tagalogs. But as time goes by due to the incompetency of the Philippine Democratic Government, these traditional industries which marked the soul and the identity of the Filipino are dying in fast pace. 

They always think of Foreign foods and things are better than their own. Especially when it comes to Products from United States, France, and others. They had this Colonial Mentality. 

The Incompetence of many Filipino Youths

They are losing money fast and they are never passed down to the next generation. Tribal and Traditional Filipino values was even neglected by the very own Filipino youth themselves. If you can see 8 out of 10 of these youths are westernized. They have neglected their roots and their moral values as a Filipino and as Asians. 

Folk Dances and traditional culture was only practiced on small areas barely visible to the naked eye of the Filipino Youth. The traditional Filipino moral values of honesty and integrity was gone as some went to become robbers and theives out of greed and criminal mindedness. 

As the population of the Filipinos grew in the Philippines, so is their cultural value and moral values dwindling fast as their numbers increase. Where did you see a family who couldn't support and barely had the income had more children than those of the rich ones who is capable of feeding and bringing them to a better environment. 

The Modern Bourgioese himself have neglected his very own soul and his very own humanity as he dropped and forgot his moral values as a person. All he had in his mind in the Philippine Democratic System was how he or she gonna take advantage of the other person. Whether it is a sexual urge, or a business transaction they always want to prey with the other person. They always wanted to get the most benefits without even bothering to think of having equal benefits for the both for business transactions or financial in nature.  This mindset is called "crab mentality". 

The Filipino Youth themselves barely forgotten the language of their forefathers Spanish. They don't even know how to cherish the very identity that distinct them from the rest of the world.

Corporate Greed

Multi Billion Companies gather and form an alliance to eat away small ones. If they know this small business is a threat he will use financial resource to payoff the owner to get rid of the competition. Oligarchy is becoming common in the Philippine Democratic System. 

Just like what oil companies do they do Oligarchies. As for electricity and water services they monopolized and threaten the Proletariat.Giant Companies want to form alliances or get rid of competitors just to make sure they get all the money they wanted.The Democratic Government agencies themselves are cooperating with corporations to earn and get more money and benefits. 

The best example is ERC (Energy Regulatory Board) and DOE (Department of Energy) becomes the spokesman of Meralco itself. Instead of defending the Filipino people from the greed they are cooperating with them. A possibility of getting benefits from Meralco itself. They are even turning to become spokesman of Oil Companies who is hungry for more money from the Filipino People. 

Philippine Democratic Government itself is sick and hopeless now. If it is a person, he or she is already diagnosed with Aids or HIV. Communism is indeed the only answer if the Filipinos wanted to make the New Philippines a reality. 

Political Selfishness and Motives, Biased Justice System

The Philippine Democratic System is indeed good to the people because they need something from them. Due to their selfish aims and Personal Political Agendas the essence of elections are already losing its sacredness and becoming a mere tool for these Dirty Corrupt Political Dynasties, aspirants who wants to earn money and steal it from the people. 

These Selfishness are proven by only being active during elections and after that nothing happens, they would just forget their promises and and their officials and officers are day by day becoming stagnant and lazy to fulfill their sworn duties to the people. 

Often times paying off Religious Organizations to make sure they have fixed their winnings to become mayors, governors, mayors or other Philippine Democratic Positions. Which later they will just earn back by stealing from the people and remain unpunished. Using the people's money funds on paying these Religious Organizations and buying them to vote for them in elections through block voting. This had been happening for several decades of elections in the Philippine Democratic System. 

As they go up the ladder of Political positions, the more money they could steal but their morality as persons are downgrading until they merely become the problem themselves. This is done by many political dynasties which lacks their grandpas and grandmas would rise from the grave and join the Philippine Democratic Government too. Not only Political dynasties but aspirants and those who have close ties with political affiliations. 

If the Democratic Officials are threatened by being replaced in their desired positions, they would payoff hired gunmen and take down the competitor. This happens in all positions and places. This is done especially by Political Dynasties. 

Philippine Democratic Government's DOJ (Department of Justice) and the office of the Ombudsman is trying to cover up and whitewash the case of Pork Barrel and the misuse of the Billions of Pesos of the hard earned money of the Filipino People. 

They are trying to protect and delay justice for the Senators, Congressman, LGUs (Local Government Units), AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) Officers, PNP (Philippine National Police) and Cabinet members.
