Terrorism and Society. Work Carried Out Between 1985-1991

The chapters of reflection that follow have been formulated progressively, moving from the most apparent to the most profound, always adhering to the facts as seen from an ethical perspective. At the first moment (1985), the outlook on terrorism, at the end of the populist government, was half leftist political aspiration and half collective murders, with a frank vanguardist militarist disproportionality in events tied to consciously cultivated class hatred. The military government of Peru, during its first phase, preached a class-based and statist option, above all through the totalitarian actions of its enormous new state bureaucracy, alongside the steamroller for all private initiative that was its controlling legislation (especially through de facto monopolies in Esca, Agriculture, Banking, and the Market). Finally, the excesses of the false theology of liberation are also clearly condemned in documents of the ecclesiastical Magisterium, from Paul VI in Evangelii Nuntiandi (1975) through the instruction "Libertatis Nuntius" and various pronouncements by John Paul II on the excesses of the false theology of liberation.
