View Full Version : How Can I Contact: EZLN , FARC , etc. to help them
CGDR
20th July 2007, 11:38
I would like to know how I could contact the different revolutionary groups operating in Latin America today..., I've been looking into the groups on youtube.., and find that EZLN ( Los Zapatistas ) are the one I most closely relate to.... I also looked at the FARC, but find that they are in a more radical stage and can't quite understand how they justify their fight or what is the problem there... but I know that for some reason Colombia's president is obtaining help from the u.s. , and whenever that happens something fishy is behind it all....
Also' my whole Ideology is to help Latin America free themselves from the emperialism of the u.s. , and achieve a socialist type goverment where all Latin American countries unify and have a currency of their own in the future.... (like the European Union), and again without the secrecy and/or the dirty governments of the world having any relations with us....
Also establish governments in each of our Latin countries that have real freedoms.., and a sense of progress and work ethic or love for the land is ensued in the population...
So a group that has their ideology close to mines' would be the right one,
for me to help.... ANY IDEAS OR ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS....... :ph34r:

Luis speaks the truth on this one.
But anyway, I'm pretty sure there's a website (like...www.ezln.org or something) that has info on it. Not 100% though.

I think you misunderstood what is said.
For example I can't go over to Mexico or Venezuela or Colombia or Pakistan to take part in the worker's struggle against the Capitalists.
All I can do is fight against MY BOSSES in my country. Luis is point is that only. Start the fight against imperialism in the place where you live.

Unfortunately not every body can be Che. Not every one can afford to travel abroad to participate revolution in other countries.
And Che's expedition to Congo and Bolivia failed primarily because there is not enough local co-operation and they were not Knowledgeable enough to carry out on their own.

My point is it seems that you think everyone should put an onus on revolution in their own country first. Che obviously didnt believe that was important, so If he has the means to go to Colombia to join FARC guerillas then I say fair play to him, I dont think anyone on this forum should dissuade him

Make sure to yell the name of their leader really loud repeatedly.
Well, first off, FARC are a bunch of terrorist assholes, so fuck that.
And second, not to sound like a "security culture" fanatic, but you sort of sound like a cop. You're probably not, and don't get all offended, but coming onto a leftist forum and then immediately asking for contact information for revolutionary movements abroad? Doesn't that sound a little suspicious to you?

Ah, that's different. If you have military training, and are a deserter from the US Army, then I suggest you go to Cuba - they have a real military, that can use your training and experience of conventional war. And they could make enormous political profit from an American deserter that chooses to go there, and from there tell the world some thing about what happens within the US Army...

I'm sure you can do a lot better in helping progressive liberation movements in third world countries, by spreading consciuous and solidarity information that put pressure on imperialist goverments that keep pupet regimes in power, as in Colombia. For example, there's an important trial (http://www.freericardopalmera.org/) going on In U.S about Colombian revolutionary Ricardo Palmera who was convicted of conspiring to take hostages. The hostages are three U.S. military contractors - foreign mercenaries fighting in Colombia's civil war. While conducting electronic spying, the three were shot down and captured over the territory held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
The Colombian civil war pits the peasant and worker revolutionaries of the FARC against the wealthy and corrupt Colombian elite. The Bush administration fully supports President Uribe, as he becomes entangled in scandal after scandal involving narco-traffickers in his own government.
On Monday, July 9, 2007, in the second trial on the same charges, Colombian On the other side is the FARC - incorruptible, dynamic, growing and expanding, a force to be reckoned with. The FARC is attracting leaders like Ricardo Palmera, a college professor from a wealthy banking family, who seeks peace and justice, but sees no other avenue for reform and joins the revolution. The FARC promises to turn the world upside down.
Ricardo Palmera was a leading negotiator for peace and prisoner exchanges for the FARC. During a prisoner exchange negotiation, the U.S. kidnapped Palmera in Ecuador and extradited him to the U.S. in 2004. Along with FARC member Anayibe "Sonia" Rojas, he faces bogus criminal trials in U.S. courts.
There is no fair trial. Ricardo Palmera is held in solitary confinement, with no family visits, no friends, no reporters allowed. The only time he sees friendly faces is during his trial when supporters from across the country pack the courtroom. Palmera's defense lawyer is handpicked by the U.S. government, given little resources, and allowed no witnesses. The U.S. prosecutor spends hundreds of thousands of dollars, and is allowed a stream of witnesses, many who are paid. It was hard for the U.S. government to lose, but lose they did.
A setback in this political trial would be a major blow for US Imperialism, as well as a moral blow to the Colombian Oligarchy "democratic securtiy" and its dirty war against the Colombian people.

Look everyone, a few suggestions:
1. Just because the guy is from the U.S. doesn't mean he has to stick with the people of the U.S. Trust me when I say the U.S. people are no where near ready for socialism. I mean people avoid being marked liberal in the U.S. for crying out loud!!! My college is full of people only wanting to get rich and they don't care about poor or working people. I live with the poor and working people (I'm poor too but the only reason I'm in college is via scholorship, i'm the only one out of all my friends) and they are so alienated that it's impossible trying to talk to them about the idea that they can run their work and own the means of production.
2. If you want to help in Latin America then great. You could start by just living there (in where ever you wish to help). Get to know everything first hand. Get involved with the "campesinos", use your capital to help the poor in many ways, living with them is a start. If you live with the poor, you'll eventually encounter the social groups who also have contacts with such revolutionary groups. Make a few trips to Cuba maybe???
3. If your some spy or cop, fuck you!!!!!
4. And to my fellow comrades, why discourage someone who wants to help. Maybe this person's talents are better used in other parts of the world????

All the answers are very helpfull, and as far as me being a cop or having anything to do with the emperialism of the u.s. HELL NO!!! HELL NO!!!
Im a dominican, born in the u.s.... and I see the world for what it is.. and I simpatize with the struggles in my Latin America..., if I could get ahead in life in my country Dominican Republic.., I would gladly leave the u.s. ...but emperialism has made it dificult for people that aren't born with a silver spoon get ahead in my Latin American countries..., They drain our natural resources by putting these puppet governments in power..., and also DRAIN and OPPRESS our people when we are forced to come over to the u.s. to progress......So basically they get our natural resorces and then get us to work in their country doing the jobs that americans wont do'...

As far as I understand, he is in the Dominican Republic. If he is a deserter from the US Army, he cannot go back to the US or he will face crime charges. As a matter of fact, I don't think he's safe in the Dominican Republic as well.

Yes, people get bullied in the US for being "liberal". In Latin America, they get shot dead for being leftists.

Your talents are usually best used where they are known, and they are usually known where you live in.
But, evidently, his situation being that of a political exilee, that's not possible. Evidently, his greatest asset, now, is being politically persecuted in the "land of the free"; his situation itself denounces the US "democracy".

I agree with RedHal. The U$ government will stoop to any level to kill communists around the world. If either of these movements are worth their salt, they'll regard an outsider, particularly one with a military background, as highly suspicious. There are other security problems of getting involved with their struggle.

The original Cuban Revolutionaries (Castro and co) were trained by some US Korean War veteran... Outside support is very possible, it all depends on what your skills are. But perhaps it might be an idea to start something in your own country first, create awareness for the struggle or something like that! The EZLN are a very multi media oriented movement (lots of stuff on the internet etc), some even call them the first post modern revolutionaries (cant wait to get flamed for that one!) ... so perhaps a media/propaganda campaign in your own country? This was perhaps Che Guevara's greatest error, underestimating and ignoring the power of propaganda. In the right hands propaganda is the most dangerous weapon there is, Stalin and Mao had quotes on writings and propaganda, the Nazis were masters at the use of rethoric and propaganda. (again...I will be flamed for this) Its a powerful tool, perhaps sometihng in the lines of guerilla art campaigns etc. Either that, or you could start blowing up stores that sell Bacardi :P

Just so you know what you might be getting yourself into, if you are captured by U.S. military forces, you would not only be court martialed for desertion but possibly executed for treason as well. So be careful to take care of yourself out there, whatever you decide to do.

other than honorable discharge....so' I kind of got out cleanly....but when I desserted......I took a plane to Dominican Republic.......and then decided to come back and get out clean when I spoke to G.I. Rights.org
So', Im out clean....they are not persuing me or anything like that.., but I am in the other than honorable discharge boat though......
But' Im no longer u.s. army....Im still waiting on my discharge papers....they should get here in about 1 month.....being that I just got out 1 month ago'...
P.S.
Most of the kids in u.s. army are (nerds) or (losers) who were just playing video games at home before the army...and the army high command nurtures their brain to think THIS AND THAT and make them little Emperialist...., I remember being in a company (4 platoons) wide meeting... and the liutenant coronel was talking to us, about army life....army goals.. blah blah blah...... and you had to be an idiot, to not see how false this guy was......

Only a Suggestion:
If you'll prefer to be an urban guerilla (I think thats what they are considered), join the EPB (Ejercito Popular Borincano AKA Los Macheteros) in Puerto Rico. Although not sure if the movement is active..last year they're were affected by FBI raids.

yeah and Che got himself and his comrades killed because of his focoist ideas. Foreigners should never head to another country and play Rambo, you'll get yourself killed and endanger their struggle. If EZLN is asking for foreign fighters, they will ask for it.
If I were an EZLN member reading this forum, I would be very suspicious of CGDR. If he were truly sincere, he would do his own research in contacting EZLN (google is a quick start) rather then requesting contact information on an open msg board, with feds checking. This isn't a game, lives are at stake, do your research and do it covertly.

There was an armed struggle going on in your country when Che wrote that message, and I know you're aware of that fact, so I'm not sure what you're going for.
yeah and Che got himself and his comrades killed because of his focoist ideas.
What a deep and well thought out conclusion! It's obvious you are aware of every detail of the various struggles Che took part in - enough so to write off the strategies and tactics developed by someone who played a leading role in a successful revolution!
.. not to mention that the extermination of one guerrilla group does not mean the end of the revolution. In fact, Che said it would undoubtedly happen, though it would still serve the cause as an example; but I'm sure you already know that.
Foreigners should never head to another country and play Rambo, you'll get yourself killed and endanger their struggle.
Take that Máximo Gómez, Henry Reeve, Asim Vokshi, László Rajk and Che!
Down with internationalism and "foreigners," up with the ivory tower and arm chairs!
If EZLN is asking for foreign fighters, they will ask for it.
The EZLN are armed reformists whom I'm not too concerned about; but the general point stands. Anyway, the Zapatistas have asked for loads of foreign support in the form of medicines, people to teach English, build schools, etc. Why would they ask for fighters when they don't fight?

che also said that he wishes the best to his comrades here, because are fight is the hardest fight we are in the belly of the beast....or something close to that, so actually everyone should just come here (US) and get shit started, if the US goes down then capitalism for the most part would be destroyed and we need all the help we can get lol
