History
Background
José Carlos Mariátegui, a Peruvian Marxist from the early 20th century, founded the Peruvian Socialist Party in 1928. He embraced Marxism during his stay in Europe in the 1920s, and he is considered one of the main intellectuals of Latin American left-wing thought, known for his integral study of the Peruvian reality through dialectical materialism in his famous work Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality.
Aside from organizing the Socialist Party of Peru, Mariátegui also supported the creation of the Workers' General Confederation of Peru (CGTP), as well as the Yanaconas Federation[4]
After Mariátegui's death, Eudocio Ravines, following orders from the Soviet Union, renames the party to the Peruvian Communist Party (PCP). After the year 1930, the party started having problems with the different military dictatorships and right-wing governments, as well as with other political groupings of the age. It also had to confront the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance founded by Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, a socialist but openly anti-communist movement.
The PCP influenced with its idea to the CGTP, the Students Federation of Peru (FEP), various feminist and intersectionalist movements, supporting the fight for socialism in the world and the Soviet Union. However, during the 1950s and 1960s, the PCP, led by Jorge del Prado, is thought to have adopted more Eurocommunist and reformist positions which decreased its influence.

In 1968 different organizations of the party, such as the Regional Committee of Ica, National Organization Committee and the Political-Military Committee Red Fatherland, join into a "National Committee of Reorganization" whose objective was to fight against the dogmatic direction the PCP-Red Flag was taking. This phase ends in the VI National Conference in 1969, where a group of anti-revisionist Marxists is expelled and, in 1970, those expelled members would end up forming Red Fatherland.
