I know the shining path claims to be a maoist movement, but I have never really understood if they were an authentic, non-fascist revolutionary movement or a band of thugs, masquerading as a maoists.

It's allways dubious: the FARC is dubious, but I assume there are equal parts of idealists, thugs and people who are simply drawn in by the first two.

They are different persons:
![]() 'José' is Víctor Quispe Palomino's nom de guerre. "Artemio" (José Flores León's nom de guerre) is head of the Regional Committee of the Huallaga province.

The problem with this is that it assumes there is a difference between "genuine Maoism" and anti-working-class thuggery.

You know that just because the anti-working class thugs in question have guns and red flags doesn't mean they are making any kind of progressive revolution. To be honest I would rather see these gangsters sitting on their arse doing sweet fuck all than continue on their violent and ultimately anti-worker campaigns. Maybe that's just me, though. Perhaps to you it is perfectly reasonable to romanticise this violence as somehow bringing about revolution rather than just being thuggery with a lick of red paint I don't know.

Is there any evidence at all they've been active since 2008?

Is it too much to ask for one link saying even that?
The OP certainly does not say that, all the websites associated (support bases in other countries too) seem to be down or haven't been updated since ridiculous times like 2004. |

Alright, that was pretty stupid of me.
Anyway.. Quote:
According to various sources, they are only really active in San Miguel and Ayacucho provinces, it's written that they are too. But I have heard from other marxist-leninist leftists that they are now mostly defunct anyway, so I was under the impression they were from that too. Last edited by ls; 9th November 2009 at 21:02. |

Trust your sources very carefully. There are ups and downs in the PPWs. During the downs there is a lot of propaganda against the Maoists and they say that Maoists are "defunct", "confined to the mountains murdering peasants etc etc.". A couple of years ago this type of propaganda was done against Filipino and Indian Maoists too(and still now). Then the former emerged with a PLA that exceeded the one in the 80s in numbers, and the latter conducted a series of uprisings in vast regions.
