Narco-geurillas? Once-principled gang? The people in arms? Indigenous killers? Church blower-uppers? Child soldier recruiters? Too black, too strong? Cold war relics? Terrorists? Would-be dictators?
A keen awareness of the fact that *every* healthy and strong revolutionary tendency is not monolithic, that under the banner of every movement u see working-class militants and their supporters. u see anarchists, feminists, leninist, trots, nationalists, maoists, of all shades and mixtures, all there because that movement is the best vehicle available for them within which to advance the struggle at that time. Revs can't wait for perfect, ideologically homogenous and pure movements to spring from nowhere, we are on a timeline.
This thread is for discussion of the FARC-EP, the largest and strongest leftist cultural-politico-military insurgent group on the continent.
Let's talk about things we've heard, impressions, strengths, weaknesses, etc. I myself was a member of an international solidarity committee in support of FARC-EP until the Canadian gov added FARC to their terrorist list, constraining activists to slagging the Uribe gov. (too easy to be fun). Uribe's Columbia recieves the 2nd largest annual wad of cash, (2nd to Israel). The US kicks that kind of cloin for a reason.
I'll be happy to answer any questions I'm able to. Let's get to the bottom of this subject, a very relevant one in today's quickly changing Americas.
Before we start, do you consider yourself an anarchist, a Leninist, or what?
