National Democracy (Philippines)

National Democracy (ND) (Cebuano: Nasodnong Demokrasya; Filipino: Pambansang Demokrasya; Ilocano: Nailian a Demokrasia; Spanish: Democracia Nacional) or the National Democratic Left, known colloquially as NatDem, is a political ideology and movement in the Philippines that aims to establish a people's democracy in the country. With the Communist Party of the Philippines as the vanguard party, the movement seeks to address what it deems to be the "root causes of social injustices affecting the Filipino masses" in what is analyzed to be a "semi-colonial and semi-feudal society", by confronting the "three fundamental problems" of imperialism, feudalism, and "bureaucrat capitalism".[1][2][3]
