Revolutionary Left Movement (Peru)
The Revolutionary Left Movement (in Spanish: ''Movimiento de la Izquierda Revolucionaria'') was a Marxist–Leninist guerilla group founded in Peru in 1962 by Luis de la Puente Uceda and his group '' APRA Rebelde'', a splinter group from the APRA which had rallied the government in the 1950s and 1960s. The group disavowed gradual reform and called for radical revolution. Inspired by the Cuban Revolution and close to a non-aligned position which opposed itself to the Communist Party of Peru, the Soviet Union and China, the group initiated guerrilla actions against the government in 1965. After its leader's death at the end of 1965, the MIR split into three different factions. One of them, the MIR-EM, merged with the Revolutionary Socialist Party (Marxist–Leninist) in 1982 to create the Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru (MRTA). The two others factions, MIR-VR and MIR-IV, joined the parliamentary left-wing coalition Izquierda Unida in the early 1980s. Origins Th ...
