Communist Daily, the Thai People's Front (TPF) political group's official newsletter, debuted around mid-May of 2006, as the 2007 Thai General Election campaign cycle was underway. Communist Daily is the Central Committee of the TPF's signature production and debuts at the same time on conventional paper and computer-based mediums. Communist Daily is a party group organ newspaper, unlike the state-owned broadcasting corporation NBT, which is a mass general public relations machinery. It is intended to express the political agenda of the TPF, mobilize its gigantic popular constituency, and propagate the vision of the party to the Thai masses and to friendly ears overseas who sympathize with the socialist cause.
The Socialist Participatory Democracy principles and broad schema of Libertarian Marxism that constitute the TPF are the foundation of Communist Daily, the organ of an electoral organization infused with the underlying philosophy of the Socialist Republic. The paper is nonetheless solicitously open and gives a platform to the varying theoretical and practical standpoints of its member parties, a reflection of the coalition's internal ideological heterogeneity.
These consist of upholding the Thai Rak Thai Party's Council Communist principles, amplifying the Eco-Socialist Alliance's proper ecological emphasis, experimenting with decentralized Libertarian Municipalism structures preferred by trends of the Libertarian Socialist Front, and combining the Feminist Socialist Coalition's Intersectional Socialism's critical critique and freedom objectives. In return, the paper is a critical arena for party internal discussion within the TPF, ideological synthesis, and providing the masses with a synthesized but plural vision of socialism.
As the de facto primary institution of the TPF's most significant mechanism of communication, the Communist Daily has a vital function in structuring political dialogue throughout Thailand's monolithic structure. It legitimates the TPF's success, provides policy advice emanating from participatory rounds of planning, and maintains the underlying assumptions of equity, collective ownership, and the Thai people's democratic participation. Communist Daily provides a committed and authoritative voice in tandem with the political leadership that led the 1998 Revolution and continues to lead Thailand toward a communist nation, spreading the TPF message to ring out across the confederation and worldwide.
