The Communist Party of Ecuador – Red Sun (Spanish: Partido Comunista de Ecuador - Sol Rojo, PCE-SR), also known as Puka Inti (Quechua for "Red Sun") is a small Marxist–Leninist–Maoist guerrilla group in Ecuador. It was founded on 1 June 1993.[1] The group's leader goes by the nom de guerre Comrade Joselo.[2] The PCE-SR consists mostly of former members of the underground leftist group ¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! The organization follows the ideas of the Peruvian communist leader Abimael Guzmán, founder and longtime chairman of the Communist Party of Peru – Shining Path.
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 farm lands, electoral boycotting, and violence against state institutions.[3]
