[...] 1964年に創設されたマルクス主義のゲリラにとって、2008年が最悪な年であるのは間違いない。わずか5週間前、ペドロ・アントニオ・マリンことマヌエル・マルランダ・ヴェレズ、あるいはティロフィホ（Sureshot）とも呼ばれていたが、最高指導者が3月に死亡していたことがわかった。FARCのナンバー2だったエドガル・デビアことラウル・レジェスが死亡した結果、外交危機を招き、エクアドルとニカラグアとの外交関係が途切れる結果となった（ニカラグアとの関係は最近復活した）。その他の幹部は捕らえられたか、殺害されたか、あるいは自首したかのいずれかだ。2月4日にはFARCに反対する大規模なデモがあった。 [...]

Do any of you who support this focus on the FARC have reliable figures on the number of unarmed people killed by the FARC compared to the number killed by the right-wing paramilitaries and the imperialist-backed official military? In particular, since Colombia is reputed to be the deadliest place in the world for labor activists, how many of these union folks have been killed by the FARC?

Also, what is the extent of economic inequality in FARC-held areas compared to that in government-held areas?

Dear Aaron, by your name i suppose you are from jewish origin. Its like what has happened to jews throughout history, not as bad, only for 50 years, FARC has targetted civilians in order to pressure the goverment. From any social class, even the poorest. Look for the bomb necklace in google. The poor lady that blew up was not from the high or middle class. Look for bombing and attack to poor peoples small towns, where they do not even have internet or telephone. Please get yourself informed. Its the least you could do!

The march against the FARC was organized by the Colombian ruling class with support from large sections of the middle class. Given their class position, the fact that they targeted the FARC as “terrorist”, and not the A.U.C. and the U.S.-backed Colombian army, is not surprising. The anti-civilian violence of the latter forces makes that of the FARC seem like a minor annoyance by comparison, unless you’re part of the privileged classes and therefore more likely to suffer kidnapping by the FARC than having your head used as a football by the A.U.C. while the government troops nearby keep lookout.

This post is amazing. I never realized exactly what was going on with the FARC. It’s shocking and gives me hope that the internet/Facebook site was used so affectively to organize this demonstration. What really interesting is checking out this ManagedQ cross search I put together here: http://managedq.com/search.php?q=FARC+facebook
