The Shining Path, a Maoist guerrilla group, had a profound impact on Peru during the 1980s and 1990s, leading to widespread violence and instability. Their campaign of terror resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, displacements, and significant disruption to rural and urban communities. The group's activities also prompted a harsh government response, which included human rights abuses. Ultimately, while the Shining Path was largely weakened by the late 1990s, its legacy still influences Peru's socio-political landscape today.

LEWIS TAYLOR has written: 'SHINING PATH: GUERRILLA WAR IN PERU'S NORTHERN HIGHLANDS, 1980-1997'
Shining Path's motto is 'To combat and resist, the people's war'.
The "Shining Path" (Sendero Luminoso) is actually a Maoist guerrilla group in Peru, not Mexico. Founded in the late 1960s, it aimed to overthrow the Peruvian government and establish a communist state through violent means. The group gained notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s for its brutal tactics, including terrorism and mass killings. While Mexico has its own issues with drug cartels and violence, the Shining Path is specifically associated with Peruvian history.

Path or track (As in "Sendero Luminoso," the "Shining Path")
Sendero Luminoso is the name of a Maoist guerrilla insurgent/terrorist organization in Peru. The name of the organization translates to "Shining Path" in English. Shining Path was most active in the 1980s, and the goal of the organization was to champion cultural revolutionary ideals generally associated with Communism. The organization's activity has declined in the past 20 years since the leader of the group (Abimael Guzman) was arrested and imprisoned in 1992.
Forms of communism include Marxism, Marxist-Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Trotskyism. Stalinism is still practiced in North Korea, Vietnam practices a form of Marxist-Leninism, and the Shining Path guerrillas of Peru still practice Maoism.
