Jalan Gemilang: Partai politik di Peru

Saat pertama kali diluncurkan dalam konflik internal di Peru pada 1980, kelompok tersebut memiliki tujuan untuk melengserkan negara lewat perang gerilya dan menggantikannya dengan Demokrasi Baru. PCP-SL meyakini bahwa dengan mendirikan kediktatoran proletariat, termasuk revolusi kebudayaan, dan kemudian revolusi dunia, mereka dapat mendatangkan komunisme penuh.
