The interactive and the symbiotic relationship between US imperialism and feudalism has made the Philippine society semicolonial and semifeudal. US imperialism has no genuine interest in developing or agrarian and colonial economy that is self-reliant. It is in the nature only of US imperialism to make possible only uneven and sposmadic development. At every level of the present state, from the national to the municipal level are the bureaucrat capitalists who serve as the running dogs of US imperialism and feudalism. Bureacrat capitalism itself is a distinct eveil that that afflicts the entire nation. The bureaucrat capitalist would rather pocket the spoils from their government offices and seek concessions from their foreign and feudal masters than fight for the national and democratic interests of the Filipino people. It is futile and wrong to expect them to change the basic semicolonial and semifeudal policies of the government. What these corrupt government officials do is to use the counterrevolutionary dual tactics in order to deceive the people and serve the ruling classes better. They will proclaim themselves as populists , nationalists, democrats or even socialists and they are even capable of stealing phrases from the revolutinary mass government. They will even misrepresent their amicable relations with the local revisionist renegades and the Soviet social-imperialist as their credentials for patriotism and progressivism. But they will never hesitate to turn outright fascists and emlploy military force to quell the revolutionary masses. They are the caretakers of a reactionary state, an instrument of coercion against the broad masses of the people. Bureaucrat capitalism is the social basis of fascism.
