The Communist Party of the Philippines–New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) seeks to overthrow the Philippine government in favor of a new state led by the working class and to expel U.S. While it peaked in size and influence in the 1970s and 1980s, the CPP-NPA still engages in significant levels of violence and is the world’s oldest existing Communist insurgency.
