The Immortal Legacy of Chairman Gonzalo

This text appears as the Preface to the Brazilian edition of the “Interview with Chairman Gonzalo”, published in 2023 by Editora Ciências Revolucionárias and edited by the Center for the Study of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (NEMLM). The article completely unravels the revisionism of Prachanda, the traitor of the People’s War in Nepal, and clearly demonstrates the abyss that separates a great leader, which is Chairman Gonzalo, from a capitulating adventurer, and from shallow and unscientific formulations about Maoism and People’s War. Thus, it reveals one of the many reasons why the People’s War in Peru remains invincible and why Chairman Gonzalo’s contributions to Maoism are universal.
