I believe your tittle is misleading, the guerrilla FARC ARE NOT Marxist revolutionaries; they are just drug dealers who produce their drugs in Colombia with no morale or ideals.
How come they haven't done anything to overpower the current government? or at least attempt to; & to keep hostages for that long is inhumane.

There is a simple test to establish if they are Marxists or not.

Do the drink proper tea or herbal tea?

What? They even call themselves Marxist revolutionaries. They finance their revolution thru the sale of drugs. They have control of half of Columbia! If it weren't for US aid they would have overthrown the Gov't by now.

Just because a group call themselves Marxists, doesn't make them so.

You mean US State-sponsored terrorism in the fine tradition of "your enemy's enemies are your friends"?

Yah...
Look how well Al Qaeda turned out in that one...

EDIT:
And Saddam Hussein...
And Pol Pot...
And that general in Pakistan... the dictator...
And Noriega...
And Suharto...
And Pinochet...

Yeah... pretty much sums it all up, really.

I always liked that one 🙂

Though presumably, being Colombian, they'd drink coffee...

So you're saying FARC gives Marxists everywhere a bad name?

No, I'm not saying that at all.

I'm addressing the point someone made that the FARC must be Marxists because they call themselves Marxists.

Do you know if they Are Marxists? If not, what are they? The "Jane Reports" say they are. Why would they call themselves Marxists if they're Not? I'm voting for Obama so we will stop our meddling.
