The Ethnocacerist movement (Spanish: Movimiento etnocacerista, also sometimes referred to as the Movimiento Nacionalista Peruano or "Peruvian Nationalist Movement") is a Peruvian ethnic nationalist movement seeking the establishment of a proletarian dictatorship led by the country's indigenous communities and their descendants. It combines far-left economic views with far-right views on racial, social, and military issues.

The name etnocacerista is composed of two parts: the first evokes Peru's ethnic identity (specifically, its origins with the Quechua, a Native Peruvian people often identified in the popular imagination with the Inca, a pre-Columbian royal group); the second indicates the group's veneration of 19th century president and war hero Andrés Avelino Cáceres, who led a guerrilla resistance campaign against occupying Chilean troops during the War of the Pacific. Due to the latter, the movement also espouses severe anti-Chile sentiments.

Most of its members are armed forces veterans of Peru's internal wars or the border disputes with Ecuador in the 1980s and 1990s

    Damn.

    This kind of shit scares me. Like, we know true emancipation means freedom from all oppressions. But most people, especially working people, are severely reactionary on social issues. Even if you get them to recognise their proletarian nature, how do you prevent Nazis?
