The CPP is calling for politicizing the army. In my analysis, the viability of politicizing AFP officers has long passed, perhaps even so for rank-and-file soldiers. The ideological apparatus of the security sector is much more sophisticated than when Sison taught kudeta lessons to cadets.
Maybe even the historical conditions that allowed for kudeta plotters in RAM and Magdalo may have passed.
