    Just looking at the replies and quote tweets https://twitter.com/prolewiki/status/1767598202956533769 you can tell they didn't even touch the page because everything is explained there.

    There is one person who actually seems to have read the book (that would make them a very fast reader, but it happens) and they did bring some critiques of the author's work, which is actually great. This is what I want to happen; like the author said: the point is to open a debate and force the Shining Path to respond. I also hope (I'm not confident, but one can hope) this book will be incorporated in the MLM discourse so that it can be more closely scrutinized; take the good out of it and remove the bad. For this reason it's important Maoists read it as well, and they might actually learn a thing or two that would actually confirm their beliefs. Because it's in there. Likewise we don't have much information on the author and not much seems to exist on the Internet, I'm hopeful by bringing attention to this work, we'll be able to eventually have a wiki page on him.

    Regardless the salty maoists who "move heaven and earth for chairman gonzalo" are like... 10, 15 people at most? Meanwhile we've registered over 400 visits on the page today after the announcements.

      Yeah, I think the hardcore twitter Gonzaloites are a very small, but vocal minority. Personally I think their support of him stems from their desire to just engage in adventurism and hide out in the mountains and magically cause a revolution to happen through the "exciting" bits, rather than the "boring" parts like education and gathering public support.
