José Carlos Mariátegui La Chira (14 June 1894 – 16 April 1930) was the founder of Peruvian Marxism. He applied Lenin's concept of worker–peasant unity to Peru, where the majority of the population were indigenous peasants. He was inspired by communal elements of Inca society but did not seek to restore the past. He was against the Comintern's proposed indigenous republic in the Andes and believed it would end in bourgeois nationalism.[1]
