So in other words, you don't know. Well, I have an opinion on FARC: Whenever you have kidnappers in your midst, the civil government should do everything in it's power to bring these evildoers to justice. Otherwise, if there are any men in Columbia, then they should do whatever is necessary to make sure the air they breathe isn't tainted by on-again, off-again Marxist drug pushers/kidnappers.
Just because I didn't state an opinion on whether the FARC are Marxists doesn't mean I don't have an opinion.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterYour Understanding of the Coloumbia situation is somewhat limited and clearly flawed. As with many central/south american countries with somewhat unstable plotical/social/economic climates the FARC group are one of many who claim Marxisim as a front to gain control of regions of the country. The reason these groups use marxisim is because its a very easy way of gaining support from the very very poor indigineous populations. However if you knew more about columbia than you clearly do, you'd also know that FARC is a name applied to many many groups of Drug lords and terriorsts who use the name FARC to legitimise themselves. Half of these so called "FARC" Kidnappings in Columbia are carried out by Right wing, government condoned groups who need to fund themselves.

For a true Marxist group look at the Zapatistas of Oaxaca and Chiapas in mexico, althought very idealistic and somewhat ineffective they follow marx's ideals.

Tell that to a judge and see how much time he'll give you...that's all I have to say 😛
Well, Americans certainly know how to play that game. I'm glad you will be cheering us on if we ever decide to step on your sorry third world nation. We've got more might than you. That makes us right and you wrong. Right?
The irony would be delicious if we invaded because of the War on Drugs. Peru does grow a lot of coca, does it not?

Well, not exactly. The FARTs kidnap people and hold them for Ransom. I don't think we are kidnapping for that purpose.
GRANNY.
Originally posted by der schwarze RitterI never implied otherwise, but you implacations of blaming it on Leftist Ideals were quite clear. Get you information right before posting utter nonsense about situations you dont even appear to want to understand.
