FARC

[REDWARRIOR]

As we all know for many years now FARC has been waging a war against the columbian Government and various other para-military/rebel groups both left and right wing and now control 40% of Columbia. As is common knowledge FARC has commited many terrorist acts targeting civilians, key industries. Commited assassinations, murders, hijacked vechiles, robbed bank, blow many things up, kidnaped individual and have commited some very inhuman acts of violence. not to mention they are a huge producer and probably exporter of cocain. I was just wonder what people's view's are of FARC as a revolution people army and what they are doing. Personally, i don't agree with everything they are doing, but it is war. Bad things happen, even if it is beyound what would be considered exceptable colateral damage. Yet i am a FARC symapthesiser as they have been able to fight for almost 40 years, and have been fairly succuessful in what they have dome, and they are one of the most powerful leftest armies left in the world (next to china, north Korea). Is what they are doing considered to be appropriate leftest acctivites? I am just wondering. Please try to be open minded here.

I'd like to learn more about their political ideologies before I make a solid opinion. I've heard they range from Marxist to semi capitalist.

Any one know?

the F.A.R.C do bad things but, what if they havent robbed banks, blow up things in which you have to do both of these to rise.what if they havent kidnapped people. they wouldve collapsed. if your soft on your opponent then your gone faster then you say shit. and drugs and cocaine. this is the only way they can buy better weapons and food. its the only resources of income they have due to in which the u.s supplies the right wing columbian government with poison to kill of cocaine plants which it land on plantation like fruits and vegtables. and does kill smaller childrens.

I support them. As Spanish guerillas said, they are fighting for a just cause, and if it takes these measures, than so be it. For a better tomorrow.
