Proletarians of all countries, unite!
We reaffirm ourselves in the People’s War that the Party is leading, it has not stopped for a minute, the Party has never been paralyzed, because it is clear on the course to follow, because it has unity in Chairman Gonzalo’s leadership, in the Basis of Party Unity, in the People’s War, in the Strategic Development Plan. Once again, strategic centralization is expressed. We have plans that shape campaigns and this continues. A Party united by such elements is strong. Let us emphasize strategic centralization and tactical decentralization because it is communist practice, it is our concrete experience… The People’s War cannot be ceased…
— Chairman Gonzalo (Doc. Second Plenum of the Central Committee)
On these dates of celebration: 24th Anniversary of Chairman Gonzalo’s valid Speech;2 October 1, triumph of the Chinese revolution led by Chairman Mao; October 7, 88th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Communist Party of Peru, which José Carlos Mariátegui founded in the image and likeness of the Peruvian proletariat under solid Marxist-Leninist bases, and Chairman Gonzalo in hard struggle retakes the road initiated by our founder towards the Reconstitution of the Party, and in hard two-line struggle, expels revisionism and opportunism to initiate the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist People’s War, Gonzalo Thought, on May 17, 1980. In transforming action, the Party fulfills the task of its realization of constitution in the First Congress of the CPP3 in 1988-1989, from which it continues its march, today it fulfills the pending task of its General Reorganization, forging the present leadership that is Chairman Gonzalo’s forging and creation. In this 50th Anniversary of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and given the fact that the ICM4 is organizing it at the international level, its fruits are great. We greet with revolutionary and communist jubilation the leaders, cadres, and militants of the CPP, the hardened fighters of the People’s Liberation Army, and the masses who support us in an organized way. In particular we salute the comrades and comrades of the PPM (RC)5 who promote the work abroad, unmask and crush revisionism and infiltrators who swarm there and in the networks, serving the General Reorganization of the Party, for imposing Maoism as the command and guide of the WPR6 together with the campaign for the Defense of the Life and Health of Chairman Gonzalo. We must strive for the purification of our ranks, because revisionism has already lost the game since it abandoned the principles and made the 4 changes (of line, Party, leadership, and People’s War),7 this is the course of more than 36 years of People’s War. At the same time we express our communist greetings, solidarity, and support for the 12th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) on September 21 and its fiery People’s War that there develops and contributes to the new great wave of the WPR.
In the current context of world crisis of imperialism, which is marching towards a deep depression of indeterminate time, bourgeois analysts and economists say: “we live in an epoch of economic and political uncertainty,” all this process within the general and ultimate crisis of imperialism.
The inter-imperialist contradictions, in acute collusion and struggle are fiercely launched against the oppressed nations and peoples of the world, spreading: massacres, massacres, massacres, genocides, destruction, hunger, misery, and a whole series of calamities that they leave in their wake, miserably seeking control of markets and the plundering of natural resources. The same contenders of the First and Second imperialist wars, are generating a World War III; we must oppose the revolutionary world war to the unjust war and unleash People’s Wars.
The principal contradiction continues to be imperialism–oppressed nations, headed by imperialism, mainly Yankee imperialism, who sinisterly applies general counter-revolutionary offensive with the shameless support of their new revisionist spawn (Bob Avakian, Prachanda, etc.), who in their eagerness to weaken the collusion and fight, unleash their “global war on terrorism,” which in essence is the armed counter-revolution to confront, oppose, and annihilate the new great wave of the WPR commanded by Maoism. Once again, they speak in the world of peace, dialog, and pacification, whose objective is to divert and annihilate the People’s Wars (India, Turkey, the Philippines, and Peru). This is served by the revisionists of the FARC in Colombia with its ally and supporter Castro of Cuba, and in Peru by the revisionist and capitulationist ROL and LOL.8
Thus they have elaborated at regional level (Colombia, Mexico, etc.) and mainly in Peru their strategy of “citizen security,” Yankee strategy within the guidelines of their low-intensity warfare (LIW), within which they manage the phenomenon of drug trafficking, mafias that they control through the CIA and Wall Street banks in New York that move huge millions of dollars; corrupting society, the youth in drug addiction and pushing them to be lumpens, etc. And once again our country is the venue for meetings where they agree on plans for expansion and looting, led by Yankee imperialism, for example APEC.
In the National situation, as always, bureaucrat-capitalism continues its traced course of one crisis after another, more and more parasitic, which means that its three counter-revolutionary tasks: to revive, restructure, and annihilate the People’s War, continue to be a historical and political impossibility, and will be even more so as soon as we concretize the General Reorganization of the Party.
The press, in service of imperialism and reaction, constantly campaign for “the Armed Forces to take to the streets,” as well as the “state of emergency” in Callao, more police, more patrol cars, more snitching, rewards for the most wanted, Sinchis with military uniforms in the streets, etc., imposing a “state of emergency” in various provinces and the VRAEM region, where they apply their policy of the three alls (burn all, kill all, loot all). See that the criminal gangs are made up of active police, ex-military, and intelligence personnel.
The 2016 reactionary general elections, more crucial than yesterday, the contradictions in the very heart of the big bourgeoisie on both sides. There was repudiation and rejection by the broad masses of the people.
In the first round, the figures highlight the very low vote of the first two candidates, neither PPK nor Keiko9 reached even 30% of the eligible voters, very far, then, from the 50% plus one vote required by their constitution.
50% plus one vote that their constitution demands to assume the presidency. It is also very clear that absenteeism, the non-concurrence to vote, has increased notably, reaching 4,167,824, which represents 18.20% of the eligible voters; and added to the invalid and blank vote, the total is 7,561,811, which is 33.02%. The highest vote-getter only obtained 6,115,073 which is 26.70%. This is the self-declared triumph of their so-called “democracy.” The second round was presented with the same characteristics, but the absenteeism was higher, reaching 19.91% or 4,559,058 of the eligible voters.
The Party’s boycott policy served once again to stir up the contradictions of the old system, which is rotten to the core, the boycott of its electoral farce was deployed both in the countryside and in the city, the PLA mobilized and called on all the people “DON’T VOTE!” In March agitation and armed propaganda actions were developed. In April: graffiti, leaflets, flags, and ambushes, and in the countryside forceful ambushes with annihilations of the living forces of the enemy (army and navy) that were determined to take the seats and protect the process itself. In Lima the agitation and propaganda against the elections was called “psycho-social.” In May and June forceful actions were carried out in its 4 forms of struggle,10 among other tasks, and the ideological-political and organizational construction was consolidated. The CPP’s new campaign was carried out in Huacho, Huancavelica, Cuzco, Ayacucho, and in Lima within the Metropolitan Committee, an echo chamber.
This government of the Yankee P.P. Kuczynski, is part of the fascist, genocidal regime, and the most country-selling that has been going on since 1992 with Fujimori, Toledo, García, and Humala, a regime and current government representing the big bourgeoisie (comprador bourgeoisie), mainly the financial sector or group. That is why they call themselves technocrats. This Yankee Kuczynski said on July 28 “we are no longer for ideological debates,” “social revolution,” to have “a modern country towards the bicentenary,” we need to promote “culture of peace” and “banish violence wherever it comes from,” he shows himself as the standard bearer in the “March not one less” (march organized and promoted by Yankee imperialism and its lackeys organized in NGOs, civil society, and bourgeois feminists, etc., etc.) we say to this loyal Yankee that we will crush all their campaigns and reactionary plans.
In this opportunity we unmask and repudiate with deep class hatred the vile new hoax against Chairman Gonzalo, our dear and respected Leader, since already from this supposed “marriage,” which is nothing more than to discredit and undermine the morale of our Leadership, trafficked by the traitorous rat Miriam, because the Party is not inherited and much less is the Leadership. It has already been denied and crushed by Chairman Gonzalo himself in the First Congress in two-line struggle, and in an occasion when he wanted to raise the Leadership to throw it down later. Since August 2016 the traitors and capitulators of the ROL say “habeas corpus for his health,” when these wretches bended their knees, selling their filthy skins they left him abandoned and trafficking with his name of “struggle for a peace agreement” to cover their vile betrayal and to confuse the masses by saying that “there were no conditions for the People’s War,” and even more colluding with reaction and reactionary judges for a new summary trial for events that he never accepted and even less participated in. These black characters of the ROL R and C11 already want to see him dead and buried in that supposed mausoleum, trafficking with the blood of the best sons of the people and fallen heroes. Know that the first ones we will bury will be their black and miserable skins, because their dreams were to destroy the Party, to stop the People’s War, and to serve the evil plan to assassinate Chairman Gonzalo.
In spite of the black, imperialist, reactionary, and revisionist dreams (ROL and LOL), the People’s War is developing against wind and tide, fulfilling our firm and resolute plans and objectives. The masses make history and it is they who will transform society into a new one, guided by our undefeated ideology Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, under the Leadership of Chairman Gonzalo and organized in the CPP. We call on the people in general to join our struggle to defeat this old system of exploitation and oppression in order to achieve their true emancipation.
Long live Chairman Gonzalo, leader of the party and the revolution!
Uphold, defend, and apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo Thought, principally Gonzalo Thought!

Fight and resist against the fascist, genocidal, and homeland-selling regime headed today by the yankee Kuczynski, the most unbridled lackey of imperialism, mainly yankee imperialism!
Fight and crush APEC’s imperialist plans!
We salute from here, the future birth of the People’s Republic of Peru!
Honor and glory to the heroic Peruvian people!
