    If I had a nickel for every time Shining Path allowed a fascist dictator named Fujimori to rise to power, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

      You can’t even buy a gum ball from a vending machine with two nickels. Thanks Biden for the inflation

      This would be the second time this year that a vote boycott would cost the left the election. Same thing happened in Ecuador, tho there for more understandable reasons maybe. Oh well, hope he still clinches it

        ecuador was rough because the "indigenous cause" has been split (mostly usurped tbh) by a CIA plant (yaku pérez)

        of course that split wouldn't have been possible without the terrible relationship between correa's party/development decisions and indigenous populations

      Are there more than idk 1000 shinning path members in Peru that are committed to the party line? Back then when they were an actual% of the population sure, but now? This smells much more like classic election book cooking
