Slop.

Shining Path is not well liked by large parts of the Peruvian left. Afaik, a lot of communists say that the Shining Path was financed or influenced by the CIA to deslegitimize the MRTA (Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement) and destabilize the socdem goverment of Alan Garcia. After the Fujimori dictatorship of the 1990s crackdown hard on both the Shining Path (without Fujimori's knowledge btw) and on the MRTA (Fujimori personally posed with dead corpses of guerrilla fighters), and the Pink Tide resulting on Alan Garcia second govemrnet and Gen. Ollanta Humala goverment, they lost all their power and divided into many factions.

Nowadays they're allied with the Anti-Fujimori Coalition or the Progressive Coalition (it seems like many people in the global south calls this vague coalition of anti-neoliberal/anti-fascist political parties that include liberals, conservatives, socialists, socdems, nationalists and communists, they call it Progressivism). They barely controls any real territory anymore and I wouldn't be surprise if many of them gave up on ideological struggle and joined organized crime. I know that a bunch of them ended up joining the Ethnocarcerism movement (which is made up by a lot of soldiers and officers that they used to fight during the 1980s).
