It's finally happened. r/communism is formally a Gonzaloite cesspool. This happened after a few months of openly displaying the Shining Path hammer & sickle as the sub's logo.

Led a revolution that at one point seemed like it would succeed near the time of the height of the "end of history". It didn't succeed, AFAIK in large part because of various issues with the Shining Path as a group (and Gonzalo as a leader), but I think that's why (at least partly) some people do like Gonzalo.
if you read anything from the shining path you immediately realize that they're a freakish cult
Yeah, not a great look, it's kind of weird to stan people like that.
To clarify, I'm not expressing an opinion on the Shining Path here. I'm only describing how (I think) some people come to support them/Gonzalo. @puppygirlpets@hexbear.net
Oh lol not a dig at you, comrade.
