Peru followed a weird path for a South American country during the Cold War, they literally had a military socdem anti-communist pro-native pro-soviet dictator during the 1960's - 1970's. Shining Path was lead by a stupid fucking white guy, the good Peruvian Communists were the MRTA (Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement) they literally are known for respecting more the rules of war than the fucking goverment.
Nowadays the Shining Path still exists, they are allied with the Ethnocarcerists (Incan Nationalists, Sort of Nazbols) and support the opposition, together with Socdems, Anti-Fujimori libs and Anti-Fujimori conservatives in Peru.
shining path sounds like the name of a cult you would find in a sidequest in skyrim
They're also basically in Far Cry 4, just renamed the Golden Path, with the location fudged, zero actual analysis as you'd expect, and a really rubbish binary 'choice' for their future.
Far cry 4 is actually about Nepal and the maoist guerillas I think
It is, but they nicked an approximation of the name and some other details for Shining Path too.
They waged a righteous protracted people’s war against unboiled babies
