The top post is about a nationalist indigenous group (though I genuinely can’t fathom why I should oppose them; they want their people’s lands back), which may potentially be far right based on an old picture of them where they used very Nazi-looking iconography which apparently according to some posts they never used again.

I don’t know their views but I doubt they share the Nazi views of Western Europeans.

Coming as absolutely no surprise, this person is pro-Israel.

    Is this about the Ethnocacerists? They are not nazis, they used to be racist and homophobic. But if you have the context of 1960’s - 2000’s Peru you would see why such a movement exists inside their armed forces. They are a communist (not marxist) ultra-left militaristic group inside the Peruvian military that mostly hates Chile, Fujimori and imperialism, their problems is their attitude towards black Peruvians and LGBTQ+. They are currently a lot less racist and even defend immigrants, I guess the have become somewhat more in favor of Grande Patria than a new Incan State.

        Peru had a left-wing Socdem Military Dictator called Juan Velasco, he promoted Native Culture and Language, he also hated Chile because of the Chilean War against Peru and Bolivia during the 1800’s. He was Reverse Pinochet, while Pinochet would steal land from natives and privitaze stuff, Velasco would give land and nationalize. Eventually the US had enough of Velasco and in the 1970’s the Right-Wing of the Peruvian army removed him from power. But his ideas had an impact on the Peruvian Armed Forces. During the 1980’s Shining Path insurgency and the War against Ecuador, some Military Leaders attempted to get the goverment to regain the trust from the Native Population, this is what eventually lead to the Ethnocacerist movement. Then after Fujimori’s coup and during his dictatorship, he was killing natives, eventually he became so unpopular that he had to flee to Japan, in Peru some military leaders attempted to remove him with a coup.

        The Fujimori Dictatorship had another impact on leftist in Peru, many turned radicial, and since he targeted natives, many Incans became enraged at the Mestizo majority and the White minority who supported Fujimori. The 2000’s had some instability thanks to Fujimori fucking up the economy, the neoliberal, socdem goverments had some trouble governing, and the fear of Keiko Fujimori return to the presidency basically created this weird trend that if a candidate went on run-off against Keiko, everyone should vote for the Anti-Fujimori candidate regardless of their ideology, because anti-fujimorism is that strong.
