Yes, that's good background info on Guzman, hadn't thought of adding that. His biggest contribution to Maoism was that he thought the idea of the PPW could and had to be applied universally.
The PCP (Shining Path) officer that the Lucanamarca townsfolk kidnapped and killed, was kidnapped by what were basically indigenous patrol "vigilantes". I say vigilante because they weren't legally recognised by the Peruvian state. The indigenous peoples turned to these structures as a form of community self defence, because they were stuck in between a rock and a hard place: the horrific Peruvian state and the PCP.
Guzman died in prison at age 86 after falling ill and possibly (probably) not being given the proper care by the Peruvian State. Died on 9/11 BTW lol
