The Mariátegui Project is a project from Natú Pizzella, who also makes free audiobooks of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and other revolutionary content. This project comes in response to the relative lack of availability of José Carlos Mariátegui’s works in English. Other than an anthology of his works released by Monthly Review Press, and his Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality, the vast majority of his writings remain inaccessible to most English speakers. The goal of this project, then, is to slowly but surely make the remainder of Mariátegui’s works available in English. This is a reading of a translation available on the Mariátegui Project website.Read this text and more Mariátegui translations here:https://jcm-project.com/I collect no fees or advertising money by sharing translations or readings of important texts.

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.

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.You can read a free version of this text here:http://www.redsun.org/pcp_doc/pcp_0788.htmThis version is the updated translation from Fourth Sword Publications.
