On September 11, 1973, the democratically-elected Popular Unity government of Chile was overthrown in an imperialist-backed coup d’état, leading to the death of president Salvador Allende and thousands of leftist activists and sympathizers over the course of decades of repressive dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
In “Chile: An Attempt at ‘Historic Compromise,’” author and Chilean Revolutionary Communist Party (PCR) member Jorge Palacios paints a different picture of the Popular Unity government from the more sympathetic renderings of many non-revolutionary leftists, tracing the tragic implosion of the Chilean economy and eventual coup to the conciliatory “peaceful transition to socialism” model adopted by the Communist Party of Chile and the Popular Unity. By failing to adhere to Leninist principles and ignoring lessons learned in the Chinese revolution regarding the revolutionary path of semi-feudal, semi-colonial countries like Chile, these elements rendered the country vulnerable to manipulation and sabotage from within and without. Palacios’ analysis and the lessons of the Chilean experience are invaluable today, as so many progressive impulses in Latin America are funneled into electoralist politics that have failed to dig those countries out of the entrenched subservience to imperialism they find themselves in.
This part includes the continuation of part five.

On September 11, 1973, the democratically-elected Popular Unity government of Chile was overthrown in an imperialist-backed coup d’état, leading to the death of president Salvador Allende and thousands of leftist activists and sympathizers over the course of decades of repressive dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet.
In “Chile: An Attempt at ‘Historic Compromise,’” author and Chilean Revolutionary Communist Party (PCR) member Jorge Palacios paints a different picture of the Popular Unity government from the more sympathetic renderings of many non-revolutionary leftists, tracing the tragic implosion of the Chilean economy and eventual coup to the conciliatory “peaceful transition to socialism” model adopted by the Communist Party of Chile and the Popular Unity. By failing to adhere to Leninist principles and ignoring lessons learned in the Chinese revolution regarding the revolutionary path of semi-feudal, semi-colonial countries like Chile, these elements rendered the country vulnerable to manipulation and sabotage from within and without. Palacios’ analysis and the lessons of the Chilean experience are invaluable today, as so many progressive impulses in Latin America are funneled into electoralist politics that have failed to dig those countries out of the entrenched subservience to imperialism they find themselves in.
This part includes chapter 6.

Anuradha Ghandy was a Central Committee member of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) whose decades-spanning revolutionary career included the Indian student movement, the trade union movement, and work in the CPI (Maoist)-led people's war. Remembered by her comrades and the communities she worked and fought with as a tireless revolutionary, she is best known outside of India for her work on women's issues and questions of caste. Scripting the Change is a collection of Comrade Anu's most important works on the above-mentioned issues, as well as pieces on the revolutionary movement in India more broadly.
This episode contains the essay "The Caste Question Returns."

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.

Fundamentals of Political Economy, also known as the Shanghai Textbook, was originally published as part of the Youth Self-Education series, a book series intended to help the revolutionary youth cultivate their skills in the three component parts of Marxism: philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism. It was published during the height of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and was explicit in its purpose as a weapon in the fight against revisionism and opportunism. As it says in the first chapter, without a strong foundation in political economy, we cannot fully understand, analyze and combat deviations from the red line and their proponents, such as Lin Biao and Liu Shaoqi at the time of this book's release.
Note on Chinese pronunciation: Chinese words and names in this text are rendered in the Wade–Giles system of romanization. This system is today considered quite outdated, and its odd and seemingly arbitrary rendering of Chinese has led to many mispronunciations from foreign speakers. I have done my best to find the readings for these words in pinyin, the far superior system of Chinese romanization, and they will be pronounced that way, if not with the correct tones. To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.
This is the 1977 M.E. Sharpe publication of the text, with an introduction by George C. Wang. A free version of this text can be read on Banned Thought or at the link below:

Anatoly Vasilyevich Lunacharsky, in addition to his significant contributions as a writer and journalist, was an important Russian Marxist revolutionary, Bolshevik, and the first head of the Soviet Union's Ministry of Education. He is perhaps best remembered as a pioneer in the field of Marxist art analysis, which is the subject of this collection of essays. In these essays, Lunacharsky analyzes art as both a part of the superstructure of a given class-based system of social production, as well as an industry in and of itself, and how art exists in relation to a given class. What can we learn about society through art? Can art be a tool of social change? These are just some of the questions that Lunacharsky will approach in the coming essays.
This reading contains "Appendix I: What is Aesthetics?" and "Appendix II: Wilhelm Hausenstein."

Fundamentals of Political Economy, also known as the Shanghai Textbook, was originally published as part of the Youth Self-Education series, a book series intended to help the revolutionary youth cultivate their skills in the three component parts of Marxism: philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism. It was published during the height of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and was explicit in its purpose as a weapon in the fight against revisionism and opportunism. As it says in the first chapter, without a strong foundation in political economy, we cannot fully understand, analyze and combat deviations from the red line and their proponents, such as Lin Biao and Liu Shaoqi at the time of this book's release.
Note on Chinese pronunciation: Chinese words and names in this text are rendered in the Wade–Giles system of romanization. This system is today considered quite outdated, and its odd and seemingly arbitrary rendering of Chinese has led to many mispronunciations from foreign speakers. I have done my best to find the readings for these words in pinyin, the far superior system of Chinese romanization, and they will be pronounced that way, if not with the correct tones. To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.
The biography of José Carlos Mariátegui found here is written by María Wiesse and makes up Volume X of Mariátegui's Complete Works.

Panther Vision is a collection of writings and art by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Minister of Defense of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party. Following his imprisonment in 1990, Rashid began a process of political development that led him to become an implacable defender of the rights of his fellow prisoners and a revolutionary activist dedicated to the liberation of New Afrikans and all oppressed peoples. While Rashid has continued to evolve as a revolutionary thinker and organizer, splitting from the New Afrikan Black Panther Party in 2020 with the bulk of that party's members to found the RIBPP, Panther Vision remains filled with insights on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, revolutionary organizing, Amerikan racial capitalism, and more.
Rashid is currently being denied medical treatment in retaliation for his political agitation and in an offensive against revolutionary organizing more broadly, especially by New Afrikans. Click the link below to read the RIBPP's updates on his health and learn how you can participate in the ongoing campaign to hold the Virginia Department of Corrections to account and get Rashid care:

One of the biggest points of contention in the International Communist Movement at the present time is the question of Protracted People's War (PPW). Is it universal, or unique to semi-feudal, semi-colonial countries? Is it the same as People's War, or should we distinguish between the two? Just what do we mean when we talk about PPW? This collection of polemical exchanges seeks to clarify the two lines of this debate in the hopes that readers will engage with the question in an informed way.
This part features the end of To Discard People's War is to Discard Proletarian Revolution, I, and all of To Discard People's War is to Discard Proletarian Revolution, II by the Red Flag Editorial Group.

To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.

Fundamentals of Political Economy, also known as the Shanghai Textbook, was originally published as part of the Youth Self-Education series, a book series intended to help the revolutionary youth cultivate their skills in the three component parts of Marxism: philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism. It was published during the height of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and was explicit in its purpose as a weapon in the fight against revisionism and opportunism. As it says in the first chapter, without a strong foundation in political economy, we cannot fully understand, analyze and combat deviations from the red line and their proponents, such as Lin Biao and Liu Shaoqi at the time of this book's release.

Panther Vision is a collection of writings and art by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Minister of Defense of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party. Following his imprisonment in 1990, Rashid began a process of political development that led him to become an implacable defender of the rights of his fellow prisoners and a revolutionary activist dedicated to the liberation of New Afrikans and all oppressed peoples. While Rashid has continued to evolve as a revolutionary thinker and organizer, splitting from the New Afrikan Black Panther Party in 2020 with the bulk of that party's members to found the RIBPP, Panther Vision remains filled with insights on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, revolutionary organizing, Amerikan racial capitalism, and more.
Rashid is currently being denied medical treatment in retaliation for his political agitation and in an offensive against revolutionary organizing more broadly, especially by New Afrikans.

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.

Panther Vision is a collection of writings and art by Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Minister of Defense of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party. Following his imprisonment in 1990, Rashid began a process of political development that led him to become an implacable defender of the rights of his fellow prisoners and a revolutionary activist dedicated to the liberation of New Afrikans and all oppressed peoples. While Rashid has continued to evolve as a revolutionary thinker and organizer, splitting from the New Afrikan Black Panther Party in 2020 with the bulk of that party's members to found the RIBPP, Panther Vision remains filled with insights on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, revolutionary organizing, Amerikan racial capitalism, and more.
Rashid is currently being denied medical treatment in retaliation for his political agitation and in an offensive against revolutionary organizing more broadly, especially by New Afrikans.

As it says in the first chapter, without a strong foundation in political economy, we cannot fully understand, analyze and combat deviations from the red line and their proponents, such as Lin Biao and Liu Shaoqi at the time of this book's release.
Note on Chinese pronunciation: Chinese words and names in this text are rendered in the Wade–Giles system of romanization. This system is today considered quite outdated, and its odd and seemingly arbitrary rendering of Chinese has led to many mispronunciations from foreign speakers. I have done my best to find the readings for these words in pinyin, the far superior system of Chinese romanization, and they will be pronounced that way, if not with the correct tones. To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.
This is the 1977 M.E. Sharpe publication of the text, with an introduction by George C. WAng. A free version of this text can be read on Banned Thought or at the link below:

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.

Kwame Nkrumah was the leader of Ghana from independence until his deposition by a CIA-back coup d'etat in 1966, as well as one of the principal political and philosophical leaders of the Pan-African movement. While friendly with countries such as the Soviet Union, Nkrumah's Ghana was part of the non-aligned movement, and Nkrumah's political philosophy is typically described as a syncretic mixture of Marxism and traditional African cultural ideas.
While the defeats of socialist experiments in West African countries like Ghana and Guinea-Conakry urge reflection on the successes and failures of these ideologies and movements, Nkrumah remains a key figure in the history and competing ideologies of African liberation movements, and thus he, and Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism, his most famous work, merit study in order to enrich our understanding of African history.

Philosophy Is No Mystery: Peasants Put Study To Work, was published by Foreign Languages Press in 1972. It details peasants' study and application of philosophy to the fields of class struggle, production, and scientific experiment. The book shows not only how philosophy can be used as a tool by the working masses to solve the problems facing them in socialist construction and everyday life, but indeed, how philosophy is absolutely necessary for understanding the contradictions at the heart of those problems and developing strategies and tactics for resolving those contradictions.

Siraj Sikder was an anti-revisionist Bengali revolutionary who formed the East Bengal Workers Movement, a militant formation of activists dedicated to the formation of an anti-revisionist communist party. The EBWM and Sikder specifically developed the thesis that East Bengal was a colony of Pakistan, and that the revolutionary path for the liberation of the East Bengali nation entailed the formation of a New Democratic republic through armed struggle. Only this, according to Sikder, would end the exploitation of the people of East Bengal by Pak colonialism, and later, the people of the newly-independent Bangladesh from Indian expansionism, Soviet social-imperialism, and US-led imperialism. To this end, he would go on to form the Proletarian Party of East Bengal and later the East Bengal United Liberation Front. After years of struggle against Pak military fascism and the local comprador and landlord puppets of foreign imperialism, Sikder would die in police custody in 1975.

June 19th marks the international proletarian holiday known as the Day of Heroism, which commemorates the sacrifice of revolutionary prisoners in Peru's El Frontón, Lurigancho, and Callao prisons, who refused to give in to the fascist Peruvian state's genocidal attempts to snuff out the People's War in that country by fighting back at the cost of their own lives. The occasion of remembering the sacrifice made not only by members of the PCP and its EGP (Exército Guerrillero Popular/People's Guerrilla Army) but revolutionary members of the Peruvian masses, is a somber but uplifting one, a day to honor those who gave their lives for the advancement of the international proletariat and remember that to give oneself to the struggle for freedom is never in vain.
This book is a compilation of declarations, documents, testimonies, and poetry compiled and translated by the now-defunct Fourth Sword Publications.

Chairman Gonzalo led the reconstituted Communist Party of Peru (PCP) and was instrumental in the theorization of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and Gonzalo Thought, the application of MLM to the concrete reality of the Peruvian Revolution. Under his leadership, the PCP initiated a Protracted People's War in 1980, achieving huge gains against the Peruvian state, building massive base areas, predominantly in the central and southern regions of Peru, and achieving strategic equilibrium by the early 1990s. Chairman Gonzalo was captured by the Peruvian state in 1992, dying in the Maximum Safety Center of the Callao Naval Base in 2021.
This interview was conducted in 1988, at a high point of the Party's armed struggle against the Peruvian state, and covers topics ranging from the development of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Party, People's War, national and international politics, and more.

Chairman Gonzalo was captured by the Peruvian state in 1992, dying in the Maximum Safety Center of the Callao Naval Base in 2021.
This interview was conducted in 1988, at a high point of the Party's armed struggle against the Peruvian state, and covers topics ranging from the development of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Party, People's War, national and international politics, and more.

The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.

Kwame Nkrumah was the leader of Ghana from independence until his deposition by a CIA-back coup d'etat in 1966, as well as one of the principal political and philosophical leaders of the Pan-African movement. While friendly with countries such as the Soviet Union, Nkrumah's Ghana was part of the non-aligned movement, and Nkrumah's political philosophy is typically described as a syncretic mixture of Marxism and traditional African cultural ideas.
While the defeats of socialist experiments in West African countries like Ghana and Guinea-Conakry urge reflection on the successes and failures of these ideologies and movements, Nkrumah remains a key figure in the history and competing ideologies of African liberation movements, and thus he, and Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism, his most famous work, merit study in order to enrich our understanding of African history.

For a Unified Maoist International Conference! – Proposal regarding the balance of the International Communist Movement and of its current General Political Line is a document released by the Coordinating Committee for the Unified Maoist International Conference. In it, the committee proposes a general line for the international communist movement and the call for a new communist international united under Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Released January 4, 2022, this document has sparked debate within the ICM; this resulting critique by the TKP/ML is a valuable text not only for understanding the shortcomings of the original draft proposal, but as a valuable lesson on dialectics, contradictions, and how Communist Parties apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to their assessments of their objective realities and positions.
The original assessment contains many errors and calques as a result of the translation process. I have gone through the entire document and made cosmetic changes to assure comprehension and ease of understanding. I have done my best to preserve intended meaning throughout the text, but considering the difficulty of understanding some sections, I acknowledge I may have made mistakes. Any corrections are welcome.

Our Road is a document released by Brazil's Poor Peasants' League (Liga dos Camponeses Pobres/LCP) outlining Brazil's social and economic structure for the past century, how the militant peasant movement arose within these circumstances, and its further consolidation through splits with the collaborationist and opportunist MST (Movimento Sem Terra/Landless Movement). The militant peasants' movement in Brazil represents not only the hope of the landless and exploited peasant masses of that country, but the alliance between the class-conscious Brazilian proletariat and peasantry that promises a way out of Brazil's semi-feudal and semi-colonial position and a path towards a democratic and egalitarian future.

In 1958, the Chinese people began a process of consolidating cooperatives into larger entities, which began to take on greater roles in governing the lives of local communities. Until their dismantlement in the early 80s, these people's communes (人民公社), as they came to be known, would become the basic units of the social organization of Chinese society, and supposedly the bedrock social unit for what would one day become full communism, organizing not only production, but medical services, infrastructure, distribution, and other social, economic and political functions. Their formation marked not only a boon in the material well-being of the Chinese people, allowing for huge strides in agriculture, health, infrastructure, and other markers of economic and social development; more abstractly, they were the cause for, and symbols of, the hope of the Chinese people for an egalitarian future, in which people would govern themselves, and the famines and inequities that plagued China for millennia would forever be things of the past.
Anna Louise Strong was a US journalist and staunch defender of socialism, writing books about the Soviet Union, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, and more, countering reactionary narratives about the successes (and failures) of socialist construction across the globe.
Note on Chinese pronunciation: Chinese words and names in this text are rendered in the Wade–Giles system of romanization. This system is today considered quite outdated, and its odd and seemingly arbitrary rendering of Chinese has led to many mispronunciations from foreign speakers. I have done my best to find the readings for these words in pinyin, the far superior system of Chinese romanization, and they will be pronounced that way, if not with the correct tones. To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.

Anna Louise Strong was a US journalist and staunch defender of socialism, writing books about the Soviet Union, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, and more, countering reactionary narratives about the successes (and failures) of socialist construction across the globe.
Note on Chinese pronunciation: Chinese words and names in this text are rendered in the Wade–Giles system of romanization. This system is today considered quite outdated, and its odd and seemingly arbitrary rendering of Chinese has led to many mispronunciations from foreign speakers. I have done my best to find the readings for these words in pinyin, the far superior system of Chinese romanization, and they will be pronounced that way, if not with the correct tones. To give some examples, you will hear: Mao Zedong, not Mao Tsetung; Beijing, not Peking; Hebei, not Hopei; Xinjiang, not Sinkiang; Zhang Chunqiao, not Chang Chun-chiao. I also take the liberty of replacing Canton with the Chinese Guangzhou. However, I do not pronounce Chiang Kai-shek as Jiang Jieshi, figuring that the latter would be unfamiliar to most listeners and would cause confusion.

The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) was a group of anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist parties and organizations which came together in the "struggle for the formation of a Communist International of a new type," and would be instrumental in laying the foundations for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, considered to be a new stage in revolutionary science distinct from Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought.
In this document, the RIM declares its ideology to be MLM, and clarifies the advancement to the revolutionary science of the proletariat it represents. As the highest stage of revolutionary science, MLM represents a great milestone in the international communist movement, and understanding the context of its early conceptualization is important for all revolutionaries.

In the Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, the RIM lays out the principal concerns for the International Communist Movement in the light of the unique conditions of the time, including the abandonment of socialist construction not only in the USSR, but in China after Mao's death as well, the failures and errors of the ICM in the revolutionary waves of the 60s and 70s, and the shifts in the character of capital and socio-economic organization which would come to be widely known as neoliberalism. The RIM revindicates some key Leninist positions abandoned by communist parties, especially in the imperial core, highlights both the errors and successes of the Chinese experience, and sets the broad course of the ICM in the coming years.

Julius Nyerere was the first president of Tanzania (and its predecessor state, Tanganyika) and founding member of TANU, the Tanganyika African National Union party. Nyerere, in addition to being one of Africa's most prominent decolonial voices and early post-colonial leaders, is best remembered for his political philosophy, "Ujamaa," Swahili for "Familyhood." Ujamaa was Nyerere's vision of a social and economic system based on the conscious revindication of traditional African social values, which he considered inherently socialist.

In this text, the Guyanese Marxist and Pan-Africanist Walter Rodney (who spent significant time in Tanzania) explores the scientific elements of Ujamaa and reflects on its viability as a means of building socialism within the unique historical, cultural, and material conditions of the African continent. Drawing on Marx and Engels' writings on utopian socialism and revolution outside the capitalist core, this text provides an interesting lens for understanding and contextualizing Ujamaa and Nyerere's thinking more broadly.

José Carlos Mariátegui was a Peruvian communist whose magnum opus, Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, marked a sea change in the Latin American intellectual field. His historical and dialectical materialist analysis of the conditions in Peru, especially on the topics of economic development and the oppression of Indigenous communities, defined the next century of communist agitation throughout the continent. The term Sendero Luminoso, used to refer to the Communist Party of Peru (though they never adopted the name themselves), comes from Mariátegui’s writings. The PCP (Partido Comunista del Perú) counts Mariátegui as one of its principal intellectual forebears, and his work continues to loom large in Latin America and throughout the diaspora. Listen to the second and final part of Literature on Trial, the last of the eponymous seven essays, here.
