Could the Shining Path have ever taken over Peru? What would have been the effects of this?

Neither the fact that Shining Path executed homosexuals nor the ongoing absence of political freedom in the first (and hopefully last) Maoist country suggest that there was a meaningful chance of Sendero Luminoso implementing democracy in Peru.
Interestingly, Maoists (ZAPU) were also a major faction in the Zimabwean war, although it was the semi-Leninist ZANU-pf that ultimately won.
weren't Albania and the Khmer Rouge Maoist, at least de jure?
