They took my grandpa's slaves!
Cry about it.
Also what kind of a fucking name is Robby Starbuck.
Promoting the Shining Path is pretty
though.
Yeah. Ratm also did Free Tibet stuff as well. Hopefully, they outgrew that.
Tibet and Tiananmen Square were big anti-China talking points at the time, even Chumbawamba did a Tiananmen song. It really doesn't feel like Free Tibet had any legs past the 90s, though.
I know next-to-nothing about Peruvian politics. I've always thought of them as problematic—overall better good than bad—but I don't know any specifics. Is there somewhere I can read more about it?
Asking in good faith, of course. Not as a "SOURCE????
" dipshit, obviously.
It's been a while since I looked into it, but what I remember finding was that they engaged in a lot of terrorism that wasn't necessarily directed at the ruling class.
-Massacred a lot of peasants.
-Including babies
-Sometimes executed people with boiling water or other forms of torture
Abimael Guzman, their leader, IIRC admitted to most of this in interviews and called it revolutionary excess.
I've seen some dispute the boiling babies thing, but everyone seems to agree they killed a whole lot of peasants.
My understanding is that boiling peasants isn't disputed, and neither is killing peasant babies, but that specifically boiling babies is disputed.
For me personally, "Hey, we only scalded adults to death, we shot their babies" is still really bad. That's like some IOF stuff.
And it became ridiculously cult-like later in their existence, owing it more to their leader than any kind of revolutionary stance. And still kinda are to this day
I don't know that much about them, but from what I've seen, they don't seem to be liked around here (and may have been backed by the CIA?).
