Chairman Gonzalo led the reconstituted Communist Party of Peru (PCP) and was instrumental in the theorization of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and Gonzalo Thought, the application of MLM to the concrete reality of the Peruvian Revolution. Under his leadership, the PCP initiated a Protracted People's War in 1980, achieving huge gains against the Peruvian state, building massive base areas, predominantly in the central and southern regions of Peru, and achieving strategic equilibrium by the early 1990s. Chairman Gonzalo was captured by the Peruvian state in 1992, dying in the Maximum Safety Center of the Callao Naval Base in 2021.

This interview was conducted in 1988, at a high point of the Party's armed struggle against the Peruvian state, and covers topics ranging from the development of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Party, People's War, national and international politics, and more.

For a Unified Maoist International Conference! – Proposal regarding the balance of the International Communist Movement and of its current General Political Line is a document released by the Coordinating Committee for the Unified Maoist International Conference. In it, the committee proposes a general line for the international communist movement and the call for a new communist international united under Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Released January 4, 2022, this document has sparked debate within the ICM; this resulting critique by the TKP/ML is a valuable text not only for understanding the shortcomings of the original draft proposal, but as a valuable lesson on dialectics, contradictions, and how Communist Parties apply Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to their assessments of their objective realities and positions.

The original assessment contains many errors and calques as a result of the translation process. I have gone through the entire document and made cosmetic changes to assure comprehension and ease of understanding. I have done my best to preserve intended meaning throughout the text, but considering the difficulty of understanding some sections, I acknowledge I may have made mistakes. Any corrections are welcome.
