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.
Obviously, not someone very learned about South American history. All "people's movements" in South America are just an excuse to install an aristocracy of authoritarians to run a new police state.
