Founder
and leader of the PCP, Chairman Gonzalo (Manuel Rubén Abimael Guzmán),
died at the age of 86 at 6:40 AM on September 11, 2021, after 29 years
in prison (September 1992 – September 2021) at the Callao Naval Base
Maximum-Security Prison.
Chairman Gonzalo’s death in prison exposed the true nature of the imperialist criminals and their local mercenaries.
Studying
the history of the Peruvian revolution, from the beginning of the
People’s War in this country under the leadership of Chairman Gonzalo to
his arrest, torture, imprisonment, and finally, his death is a
historical lesson to all of the communist revolutionaries
(Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) in the world whose achievements and
shortcomings should be considered.
The
PCP, led by chairman Gonzalo, launched the People’s War in Peru in
1980. Despite its defeats and victories, it was able to establish a
revolutionary base in Peru and operate proletarian political power over
large areas of Peru until 1988.
America’s
world-devouring imperialism began its direct involvement in the
Peruvian People’s War in 1990 under the pretext of the “war on drugs”
and formally commissioned one of its military bases near Panama to guide the Peruvian counterinsurgency police and launch an intelligence and information warfare against the PCP by providing the information to the reactionary “Fujimori” regime.
As
the result of such actions, Comrade Gonzalo was arrested on September
12th, 1992 at one of his hideouts in the capital of Peru, Lima, and a
number of other PCP leaders were captured or killed. The reactionary
Fujimori regime, On September 24, 1992, put chairman Gonzalo in a cage
and exposed him in public and to the media of the world. chairman
Gonzalo, from inside the hutch, addressed his inspirational message to
all the communists of the world: “Do not despair because of my arrest,
continue your revolutionary struggle, and the People’s War must continue
for the benefit of the masses in Peru and in the service of the
proletarian world revolution.”
Following
the Peruvian regime public display of chairman Gonzalo in a cage, the
RIM Committee in Defense of chairman Gonzalo’s life launched a global
campaign entitled: “Move Heaven and Earth to Defend the Life of Chairman Gonzalo!”
that
mobilized communist organizations and parties around the world, along
with thousands of workers, peasants, revolutionaries, and artists from
across the five continents.
Chairman
Gonzalo was a full-fledged communist, indomitable against torture and
imprisonment, the enemies of the proletariat and the peoples of the
world.
The
biggest service that the PCP, led by chairman Gonzalo, did
internationally was to promote Maoism instead of Mao Zedong’s Thought.
When the PCP, led by chairman Gonzalo, introduced Maoism instead of Mao
Zedong Thought, the
RCP, USA opposed the idea and calling it a deviant and Lin Biaoist,
that is why a number of parties and organizations of Marxism Leninism
and Mao Zedong thought refused to accept Maoism for a while. But the PCP
stayed strong on its position of accepting Maoism and continued its
struggle for its acceptance in the RIM.
Although
Maoism was recognized by the RIM instead of Mao Zedong Thought, the
leading role of the PCP and chairman Gonzalo can not be denied in this.
Another
service performed by the PCP, under the leadership of Chairman Gonzalo,
at the level of Latin American countries, was to prepare, organize, and
advance the People’s War in Peru. However, before the establishment of
the People’s War in Peru, the People’s War was waged and moved forward
in the Philippines and India under the leadership of the
Marxist-Leninist-Mao Zedong thought Parties, Nevertheless, the history
of Peru witnessed that the PCP, led by Chairman Gonzalo, achieved
remarkable victories to the extent that it applied
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the specific condition of the Peruvian
revolution and put it into practical creatively and by 1988, had made
immense strides that could not be ignored by the massive sacrifices of
the comrades of the PCP in the People’s War.
On
the other hand, the PCP was on the path of profound
ideological-political deviations. These include the remaining issue of
“mainly Maoism”, then the idea of “Gonzalo thought” and subsequently the
“mainly Gonzalo thought”. The C(M)PA fought against the perversions of
the PCP and continues to do so at the level of the international
communist movement.
The
arrest, torture, and death of chairman Gonzalo as a revolutionary
superman in the prison of the reactionary and authoritarian regime of
Peru has been and will be a history lesson to all communist
revolutionaries (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist). The Maoists of the world, and
especially the PCP, must carefully study the revolutionary history of
Peru, break away from its negative aspects and develop its positive, and
seriously fight against any ideological-political deviations. It is the
only way that can lead the People’s war to victory.
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
The memory of Chairman Gonzalo is eternal in the International-Communist Movement (MLM)
Death to imperialism
Win the People’s War around the world
