There is a new socialist grouping in the Philippines today, called The Socialist Circle. It is not (yet) an organization in any sense. The group describes itself for now as something "committed to creating spaces for exploring, debating, and advancing socialist, feminist and radically democratic alternative(s) to the present social order." The group held a well-attended gathering this Sunday.
The new group provides yet another venue to accommodate the growing number of individuals in the Philippines who are getting more interested in socialist/Leftist politics that is not tied to the old ideologically rigid parties, especially the Communist Party of the Philippines, which hardly provides a forum on socialism for non-members.
Earlier this year, the Manila Jacobin Reading Group was also formed.
