Seen yesterday in Euronews in a demonstration in Lima, Peru, this red
flag with white "PCP" initials.
Jorge Candeias, 21 Mar 2003
The thing is that the Peruvian Communist Party split into several
organizations, one of them the PCP-SL (Partido Comunista de Peru —
Sendero Luminoso, = Peruvian Communist Party — Shinning Path).
The group was an offshoot of the Communist Party of Peru — Bandera
Roja (= red flag), which in turn split from the original Peruvian
Communist Party in 1964. It never refers to itself as “Shining Path”,
preferring to be called the Communist Party of Peru; the more familiar name
comes from the maxim of José Carlos Mariátegui, founder of Peru’s first
communist party: «El Marxismo-Leninismo abrirá el sendero
luminoso hacia la revolución» (= «Marxism-Leninism
will open the shining path to revolution»).
