The top post is about a nationalist indigenous group (though I genuinely can't fathom why I should oppose them; they want their people's lands back), which may potentially be far right based on an old picture of them where they used very Nazi-looking iconography which apparently according to some posts they never used again.

I don't know their views but I doubt they share the Nazi views of Western Europeans.

Coming as absolutely no surprise, this person is pro-Israel.

    This is similar to how the black movement in Brazil started as a far-right monarchist movement that eventually became left-wing

    Is that so!

    they openly said they are anti-imperialist, anti-fascist and anti-marxist

    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.

    José Carlos Mariátegui instead of Marx

    What would this mean in practice?

      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.

      If you ever get confused about mid-20-century latam socdems, just remember "Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism"
