Gonzalo was the leader of the Communist Party of Peru until the 90s when he got nabbed by the state. The party (PCP) was referred to as Sendero Luminoso because it was part of their slogan, something like "communism is the shining path to freedom" IIRC, and then after Gonzalo was captured the party had a shakeup that resulted in the offshoot PCP-SL (Sendero Luminoso).
Aside from the memeing about him eating babies or whatever he was a Marxist professor that made theoretical contributions to the development of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, a purported newer evolution in the continuity of Marxism-Leninism.
