The Communist Party of Ecuador – Red Sun (Template:Langx, PCE-SR), also known as Script error: No such module "Lang". (Quechua for "Red Sun") is a Marxist–Leninist–Maoist group in Ecuador. It was founded on 1 June 1993 and carried out several minor bombings in that year.[1][2] In 1994 the US State Department estimated that the group had less than 100 members.[1] From inception, until their death, the group's former leader used the nom de guerre "Comrade Joselo".[3] Joselo died on November 6, 2022[4] with no announcement of a successor. The PCE-SR consists mostly of former members of the underground leftist group Script error: No such module "Lang". The organization follows the ideas of the Peruvian communist leader Abimael Guzmán, founder and longtime chairman of the Shining Path in Peru.[5][6] The organization has also become close to the Template:Ill,[7][8] the Communist Party of India (Maoist),[9] and is also a member of the International Communist League (Maoist).[10]

The group has protested for workers' rights, and against increased bureaucratic policing and government displacement of communities from economic infrastructure such as mining. Taking inspiration from the Shining Path, PCE-SR advocates for the peasant seizure of farmlands, electoral boycotting, and violence against state institutions.[11]

History

PCE-SR was founded in 1993 by Comrade Joselo and initially drew a large membership from the defunct guerrilla organization Script error: No such module "Lang"..[1] The ideological basis for the PCE-SR originates from the Peruvian Shining Path with the aspiration of implementing the contributions of Gonzalo Thought to the conditions of Ecuador.[12]

In 2007, a documentary titled Alfaro Vive Carajo: Del Sueño al Caos (From Dream to Chaos) was released which gave testimonies by former AVC members. In response, PCE-SR criticized Santiago Kingman for allegedly distorting the guerrilla struggle and capitulating to the government.[13]

Puka Inti has been accused of being a direct puppet of Shining Path, though it asserts that it is only a supporter of Gonzalo Thought and of the broader international Maoist movement.[12]
