Beginning on March 17, 1980, the Shining Path held a series of clandestine meetings in Ayacucho, known as the Central Committee's second plenary. It formed a "Revolutionary Directorate" that was political and military in nature and ordered its militias to transfer to strategic areas in the provinces to start the "armed struggle", despite the revisionism instituted in China by [[Deng Xiaoping]] and its economic success since 1978. The group also held its "First Military School", where members were instructed in military tactics and the use of weapons. They also engaged in "Criticism and Self-criticism", a Maoist practice intended to purge bad habits and avoid the repetition of mistakes. During the existence of the First Military School, members of the Central Committee came under heavy criticism. Guzmán did not, and he emerged from the First Military School as the clear leader of the Shining Path. In 1992, Guzmán and other leaders of the Shining Path received life imprisonment sentences for their role in the [[Lucanamarca Massacre]], among other charges. | Beginning on March 17, 1980, the Shining Path held a series of clandestine meetings in Ayacucho, known as the Central Committee's second plenary.

During its heyday, the Shining Path committed a long series of atrocities against civilians, mainly peasants, which included the multiple use of car bombs, rape of women, and multiple mass murders. In general, it is considered that the Shining Path is the main responsible for the destabilization and violence in Peru during the 1980s and 1990s. Among its most infamous acts, is the so-called "Asháninka Holocaust" where the Shining Path murdered 6000 Asháninka indigenous people, practically committing [[genocide]]. The Shining Path also maintained a strong rivalry with the [[MRTA]], another terrorist group with a [[Che Guevara|Guevarist]] ideology. | |||
