Fascism in the 21st Century in the Imperialist Heartlands

International Theoretical Conference
28-29 November
organized by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP)

This theoretical conference will focus on themes relevant to characterizing 21st-century fascism against the backdrop of its historical precedents. By grounding contemporary analysis in these classical forms of fascism, the conference aims to sharpen our understanding of how fascism has evolved while retaining its essential class character and imperialist function.

The Fifth NDFP International Theoretical Conference is about Fascism in the 21st Century. This conference serves as a gathering point for Marxist-Leninist parties, socialist groups and national liberation movements to discuss and systematically share their theoretical views on contemporary fascism in their own country contexts.

This theoretical conference aims to deepen theoretical and historical understanding of fascism as a class phenomenon rooted in the contradictions of imperialism. The conference also aims to discuss the importance of militant mass movements in providing the countercurrent against fascism. In addition, the conference aims to identify principles and strategies that can guide such movements and democratic sectors of society in the struggle to effectively confront and defeat fascism. Drawing from the contributions of Lenin, Dimitrov, and Mao, the conference will examine how fascism has developed and adapted in the 21st century both in the imperialist core and in the neocolonial peripheries.
