    Pedro Castillo in Peru claims victory. The concept of socialism has been completely distorted around the world, any pro capitalist reformer is a socialist

    The corollary of that, MS, might also be that conservative politicians have moved further and further to the right to make any liberal sound like a radical.

    Even more, the Leninists and Maoists do not support him. He has said like Fidel Castro in 1959 that he is not a communist, but right wingers are saying that he is a socialist.What he is proposing has already being done by several capitalist leaders and right wingers presidents and dictators around the world, and the leftists are celebrating it like they are new advanced measures

    Greetings from Peru.

    Here the right wing and some formerly leftist parties that are now functional to them have intentionally perverted the terms socialist and communist. They have turned them into insults. The few socialists that exist fight against this, and the left in general also, but timidly.

    Indeed, Pedro Castillo is a pro-capitalist reformer. He must build power or else the right will drive him out of government through congress.

    They are talking about Mariategui Indigenous Marxism which is another distortion of Marx’s concept of socialism. Socialism is not based on ethnicity, nationalism, and race
