Laban ng Masa (LnM, lit. 'Fight of the Masses') is a major left-wing electoral coalition of democratic socialist and progressive groups in the Philippines.
Being democratic socialist, LnM participates in the political processes of the state, insisting on elections as a legitimate and viable means of achieving socialism.[1] It opposes taking the extralegal route preferred and deemed necessary by Marxist–Leninist–Maoists. The coalition positions itself firmly against authoritarianism and elitism.[2][3]
The coalition endorsed Leody de Guzman and Walden Bello in the 2022 presidential and vice-presidential elections.[4][5]
