Laban ng Masa (LnM,) 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]
