Ethnocacerist

Ideology

The ethnocacerist movement has been described as having fascist traits, with Vice calling it "an idiosyncratic mix of economic populism, xenophobia — especially towards Peru's southern neighbor Chile — and the mythologizing of the supposed racial superiority of 'copper skinned' Andeans. It also takes an old school machista view of women’s rights while Isaac Humala ... called for the summary shooting of homosexuals and corrupt officials". According to Harper's Magazine, "Anti-Semitic, anti-Chilean 'news' ran alongside xenophobic editorials" in the movement's newspaper, Ollanta (later named Antauro), and ethnocacerists have called for 25% of children to be taken by the state and conscripted. Anthropologist Norma Correa of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru has stated: "Supposedly, ethnocacerism is about inclusion, but really it excludes so many citizens in a society as diverse as [Peru's], ... It’s not just whites. Ethnocacerism has no place for Afro-Peruvians, Amazonian natives or even mestizos".
