FIRST: I find it somewhat hypocritical for Louis G. to suggest that since 
Carlos might be a pseudonym, that in some way implies something negative 
about him. I wonder: how many of Louis G's comrades internationally, living 
and dead, have  used pseudonyms?  How many members of the "Shining Path" 
don't use their real names?

SECOND: The charge of being a agent provocateur is, to put it mildly, a 
very serious charge indeed. Where's the PROOF? IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE 
PROOF FOR SUCH A SERIOUS ACCUSATION, *SHUT THE FUCK UP*!

THIRD: We can see the logic at work here that leads to "leftists" killing 
leftists. If someone is an agent provocateur, an agent of US imperialism, 
a counter-revolutionary, etc., ... THEN WHAT? ... PUT A BULLET THROUGH THEIR 
HEAD? ... BLOW UP THEIR CAR? ... SEND A LETTER BOMB? Is that "Marxism"? 

FOURTH: Obviously the party that you belong to allows great room for free 
expression. If your posts in some way were an expression of party policy, 
that would be a condemnation of your party. Luckily, you are a "Walter 
Mitty" here. I wonder, though: how many in Peru have used the same 
rationalizations that you have used to murder other leftists and innocent 
civilians?
