For Gonzalo's Birthday
December 3rd was the second birthday of Gonzalo that we had without him, for the Peruvian state weakened his health greatly and then killed him. Gonzalo’s contributions to Marxist theory were very important; he and his comrades in the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) synthesized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the development from Marxism-Leninism. They proved the universality of Mao’s theories, such as people’s war, cultural revolution, and more. Just as Mao applied Marxism-Leninism, Gonzalo had to apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to his conditions, the conditions of Peru. Therefore, Gonzalo Thought was synthesized. Gonzalo Thought includes these concepts which are relevant everywhere.
We recommend these resources for Gonzalo’s contributions to Marxism:

We have defended the practice of Gonzalo and the PCP as well; too many self-proclaimed “communists” believe in the bourgeois myths about them:
Others have done so as well. Therefore, for Gonzalo’s birthday, we recommend all progressives who do not know much about the PCP or who oppose it to really study its history, and not the bourgeois narratives on it.
