I’m just saying, it takes a bit less to call oneself anti-imperialist and anti-fascist than to actually be these things, so when you hear about all these weird racial ideas and reviving an Incan state and using Nazi-inspired symbols, it seems more than a bit suspicious, especially when they have this military background.

They were against the 2019 coup in Bolivia, they are Pro-Venezuela, Pro-Evo, Pro-Castillo. They seemed to have evolved into more moderate positions, they are currently allied with the Socdems and Communists in Peru. I guess they are currently fighting actual US soldiers in Peru.

José Carlos Mariátegui

I don’t know much about Mariategui, but from what I remember, he focused more on indigenism, agrarian socialism and cultural revolution. He believed that Marxism was too European and didn’t take into account the different cultures of the world. From the Peruvian point of view, Mariategui proposed a very well-organized form of land, since at the time Peru and most of Latin America were very agrarian, and that there was a fusion of indigenous, Afro-Latin and European-Latin cultures, promoting a cultural revolution. His grandson went on to criticize some of the things Mariategui said, claiming that he ignored some aspects of native culture that were reactionary. Mariategui also believed that the Inca Empire was a kind of proto-socialist society.
