That is the irony. This poverty is what led to Shining Path, but then they turned on the poor. It was the poor that they were killing,
Quote from a Peruvian farmer.
It used to be said that communists didn't love the poor so much as hate the rich.
Their modern ideological descendants are even more twisted than that. They truly do seem to hate the poor for failing the ideology that seeks to appropriate their voice.
Communism is scam. Its a charade to get the poor, working class, and societal outcasts to assist one group of elites to overthrow another group of elites and seize power. Upon its supposed success, the new elites then proceed to behave in an even more violent and brutish manner than the previous rulers.
Have you noticed that, generally, communism is imposed upon the working class by the middle classes, because the working classes themselves want nothing to do with it.

It is - and the working class can see this.

Telling, isn't it?
Good, because the working class are the only people who can stop Communism once the ball gets rolling.
