made some really great points (formalized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism)

Id probably say that no, they arent worth emulating or holding up as they where mostly just adventurist mao-ists who ended up killing more socialists and indiginous people than anything.
(boiled babies (not exactly true
Well, they did both those things, but they didn't do them at the same time
they killed babies
but they didn't boil them
they did torture people with boiling water though
It's funny because unlike all other anti-communist propaganda, the truth is still just as bad
I dunno what great points you're referring to, his "theory" is pretty much incoherent garbage the last time I checked (mixed with clumsy restatements of actual theory).
I keep hearing Shining path maoists talk about what he brought to the table and im like sorry but this is just patsoc mao zedong
Agreed, I've been told how amazing his theory was by Maoists and I read it and just think...really? This stuff? It's either just regurgitations of things others have said, or whacked out bullshit like "War and adventurism are good things actually."
boiled babies (not exactly true
Don't care, Lucanamarca still happened.
Needs a better name to be a villain. Since I only know Gonzalo as a first name I hear it just like Chairman Steve.
