The Communist Party of Peru (Partido Comunista del Perú) is a political party founded in 1928. It aims to establish a socialist state in Peru through revolutionary means. The party has undergone various ideological shifts and has been involved in significant political movements throughout its history, including the rise of the Shining Path in the 1980s. The party has faced challenges, including government repression and internal divisions. Despite these obstacles, it continues to advocate for Marxist-Leninist principles and seeks to address issues such as inequality and workers' rights in Peru. Its influence has waned in recent years, but it remains a part of the country's political landscape.
