One of the several branchings of the Andean nativist movement is indeed
this Nazi-inspired organization. While “copper colored” people
are prime targets for neo-Nazis in Europe (and elsewhere), this fringe
group opposes the ruling European-descent culture and society i.a.
by the use of Nazi inspired regalia…

Last week there was a report in The Times newspaper of an
insurgent group which had seized a police post in an Andean town and
killed several policemen. In today’s edition of The Times,
in the “Week in Review” section, there is an article by the
distinguished Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa about the sinister
implications of this movement, which is called Ethnocacerism. It is
basically a neo-Nazi outfit, deriving its name
partly from ethnic purity and partly from the name of a 19th Century
general and politician named Cáceres. The movement claims that only
the “copper colored” Peruvians are the true Peruvian nation,
and wants to drive everyone else out and to declare war on both Chile and
Ecuador. The movement has adopted Nazi symbols with
some modifications; it also uses the “Rainbow
Flag”.

The Movimiento Pachakuteq para la Liberación del Tawantinsuyu
(tentative translation: Revolutionary Movement for Andean Liberation) seems
to be the same, or similar to, the mentioned (ethno-)cacerist party. In
their
website they seem to call themselves a right-wing party —
but different from the others as it defends a native ideology, and not
ideas imported from Europe, Russia, the U.S., or China…

The M.P.L.T. party symbols use a large black
chakana on a white disc on a red background. As
usual in groups using Nazi inspired regalia, these
striking resemblances are ignored and explained differently. (A perhaps
relevant difference is a conterchanged firmbriation around the disc.) The
party flag is a rectangular ~2:3 in the said design.

The Ethnocacerist movement has adopted Nazi symbols with some
modifications. The swastika has been replaced by the
so-called “Inca Cross”, in black
on a white circle surrounded by a red field. There is a colored phtograph
accompanying this article which shows a Nazi type standard and
banner modified as described.
Ron Lahav, 15 Jan 2005, quoting Mario Vargas Llosa’s
article in The Times
There is also a party banner («estandarte»),
passably similar to German pre-WWII
SA and SS ones. It features the same
design as the flag with white letters "MP-LT" bellow
the disc.

The Ethnocacerist movement has adopted Nazi symbols with some
modifications. The Nazi eagle has been replaced by a condor with outspread
wings, and the swastika has been replaced by the
so-called “Inca Cross”, in black
on a white circle surrounded by a red field. There is a colored phtograph
accompanying this article which shows a Nazi type
standard and banner modified as described.
Ron Lahav, 15 Jan 2005, quoting Mario Vargas Llosa’s
article in The Times
The finial, according to
this
page, may be a condor, the Sun, the Moon, and «other totemic
symbols».
António Martins, 13 Feb 2005
M.P.L.T.’s chakana is divided in four
"w"-shaped parts, standing from the four quarters of
the Inca Empire, each made up of five adjoining square blocks. (This
contrasts with the exquisite construction details given for the chakana by
other sources — such as [ljj02],
contradictingly quoted in a
M.P.L.T.
page.)

Another photo
shows a
banner with a different emblem in black on the
disc.
António Martins, 13 Feb 2005
It seems to be the more usual 1+3+5+3+1
chakana, lacking any disc or piercing, and drawn white on white with
thick black outline. This banner is square and the white disc lacks the
white ring shown in other M.P.L.T. flags.

WARNING: The seven-stripped Inca rainbow
flag is used by a much wider group of people than the adherents of
this particular party, which may be very well quite diminute!

The Ethnocacerist movement has adopted Nazi symbols
with some modifications; it also uses the “Rainbow Flag”.
Ron Lahav, 15 Jan 2005, quoting Mario Vargas Llosa’s
article in The Times
The Inca flag, as shown in the M.P.L.T. website on
this
photo, has no white stripe, but two purple
stripes of different shades; the ratio is approx. 1:2.
