They were so out of touch. Since when do random Peruvians care about Dengism lol? Those poor stray dogs man, got killed by some dumb ass, out of touch cult.

There's no way the shining path wasn't CIA, they completely destroyed the communist movement in Peru. Like, do you seriously think massacring random villagers is gonna lead to a revolution? They set back the communist movement in Peru by a century

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.
