I think it makes some points. Does anyone more knowledgeable on this subject have a different take?
Maoism is when committing crimes against humanity and terrorism on innocent villages in Peru’s countryside, obviously.
“You won’t let us ransack and pillage your village, steal all your food, and then occupy your houses?”
“Guess we have to shoot all your children, rape your women, and then pillage your village anyways”.
The PCP were a disgusting abomination. On the same level as the Khmer Rouge. Utter garbage and evil. They are a terrorist organization that use Marxist symbols for aesthetics and nothing else. Utter scum.
I highly recommend reading up on the Shining Path. Their founder and leader was a deranged megalomaniac, who was a fascistic nationalist and cared more for his personal cult of personality then Marxism. He has admitted to never even READING MARXIST THOUGHT. The entire history of the organization is insane and I highly recommend the BadEmpenada episode on them.
