• Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) -- Some of the last remaining Maoists, slaughtering villagers in Peru. Took up arms in 1980, stated goal is a replacement of Peruvian institutions with a communist peasant revolutionary regime. These web pages feature pictures of Marx, Lenin, and Mao.
  • The Committee to Support the Revolution in Peru -- ``communist revolution'' can be a comfortable abstraction when you're safely in Berkeley. http://www.csrp.org/
  • The Sendero Luminoso and other violent Maoists: http://www.blythe.org/peru-pcp/
• Tupac Amaru -- MRTA. Another group wreaking havoc in Peru. Founded in 1983, this one is Marxist, not Maoist. This group held the hostages at the Japanese embassy in Lima, December 1996 - April 1997.
