First all I want to take the opportunity to refute the the tag the US
government and the Colombian
has attached to their efforts to convince the people of Colombia and other
leaders around the world FARCE-EP is nothing more than Drug cartel
responsible for all the drug movements in the Colombia
its not our responsibility to controlled the problem in Colombia
to-day>Especially since the government officals militaries, and other
"legitimate" law enforce are directly involved in DRUGS ,how else
do you to think the cartel could have lasted this long.? YES we tax All the
drug related businesses & cartels
Cartels and FARC-EP are by means partners/ Both use each others out of
necessity ,but once we have victory or a negotiated treaty on our terms
guaranteed,if not the war goes on another forty years
Either way when the Victory is ours the Cartel and all their related
affiliates will be finished!!!!!
In coordination with the revolutionary principle, ethics and morals that
guide us, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-Army of the People
(FARC-EP) does not share in, negotiate, or have any relation with the
narcotics traffic. We reject it because it generates corruption, impunity,
criminality and social decomposition, among other things, affecting
especially the young people of the whole world.
With respect to the narcotics traffic and its terrible effects, the Economy
defines it as a political, economic and social phenomenon that ought to be
treated with measures of the same character, without utilizing the
repressive military path. This our position and has always been our
position,
With due respect to the Russian of old and to China .and the communist
party in Latin America, FARC-EP
sees a major opportunity to reverse years of little accomplishment and
internal strife. .
The collapse of the Soviet Union provided the opportunity to re-evaluate
Marxism as an alternative to conventional pro-capitalist perspectives.on
Latin American
Utopiaunarmed a supporter of FARC-EP has been arguing for years that Soviet
Marxism distorted Marxian thought,Utopiaunarmed position is/ that Marxism
must move beyond its traditional Soviet formulation. What is needed, , is a
new, critical Marxism that is integral to a radical political economy--a
Marxism that sees society as an organic whole, dependent upon an integrated
set of relationships."Marxism must be able to demonstrate and show the
relevance and importance of why any needs the "PARTY"
utopiaunarmed finally their is major support for our position from the
people who are not only taking the talk.but walking the walk.There are
still_obviously} many changes in the social and economic that need to be
addressed.but to continue using the pasty fifty years formula will result
in something worst than in past total defeat .as their no one to lend any
type of meaning full support .
The debates now going on in circles who believe Marxism must get into 21 st
century,Marxism
must have a thorough grasp of the relevant issues and present a united
"party" with present clear
and crisp imagine of the future and what is needed to establish a
presence.Marxism can nolonger
present a style that the people who represent the masses should be able
to {get it"" on complex topics
, In Colombia FARCEP number one negotiator Raul Reyes offers a persuasive
argument for a new kind of Marxism. The timing is right, partly because it
ties into the needs of the people and FARC-EP understands the need to be
revelant. in the post cold war debates for the people to rise up and support
FARC-EP, and partly because it offers a difference to that heretofore
reigning orthodoxy that smothered Latin America opportunities mention above
all within the former USSR. FARC-EP is an extraordinarily ambitious and
determined to eventually bring a victory to the people in Colombia and
Marlanda who began in 1048 and created FARC=EP in 1964
FARC-EP NEGOTIATOR COMANDANTE
RAUL REYES says Marxism-Communism is out dated and need serious changes
Recently Deep in the forest,of the mountains, Comandante Raul Reyes mused
"Marxism-Leninism has to be updated,and adapted to the new realities in the
world. We can't go on aiming to build a Soviet, or Chinese, or Vietnamese or
Cuban-style socialism. We're at a different time in history,in the
cyberspace and internet age. The tools of science and technology have to be
put to use for economic and political and social ends." Reyes changed his
combat uniform for a three-piece suit and, together with a government
delegation and representatives of the Colombian private sector, traveled to
Stockholm (and then other European capitals) to study "the political and
economic models of the Scandinavian countries, and how they might be applied
in a South American country".
Further more Comandante Ra�l Reyes - explains: "No matter how socialism
has
chopped and changed, neither Colombia or the world has got rid of poverty.
Communism and Capitalism hasn't solved anything. Now more than ever, there's
every reason to carry on the struggle. Didn't Utopiaunarmed quote CHE
stating"any resemblance between our Revolution and the "PARTY" is strictly
coinescendial"
When ask to explain the political dynamics involving all these :FARC-EP
army}
fighters.Reyes explained if I said our army could carry on a sophisticated
Marxist dialectic I- would not be telling the truth - they are too young.
Born into peasant families with ten barefoot children, they start helping
their parents work the land on their tiny smallholding.
other peasants who have come to us get away from the landowners. There are
also
townsfolk and professionals too, whose lives have been ruined by the social
situation, and militants and trade unionists who have had to give up legal
opposition to escape being murdered didn't come to us with a
Marxist/communist fevor. We are fighting fo social change,to end
corruption, restore the institutions of Colombia, end infant mortality and
equal access for all .Equality and the opportunity to attend school; no
what their social standing may be all the benefits that
Canadians,Americans,Europeans take for granted
In Colombia "Among the less politically-aware population, they obviously
don't know anything about Marxism-Leninism. They see our fighters,
well-armed and well-fed, who organize meetings with the people and tell them
what the struggle is for. They've got little in the way of prospects, life
in a guerrilla group is better than "People are tired of the war, but
they're tired of being hungry, too. You can't make peace just a matter of
stopping the guns." There are many heads of workers' organizations, who
secretly, are in constant contact with us ,because they represent the
People who want to come fight and die for a better society
.The US and the Colombia government right wing military & para groups
want to keep the labels of Marxist NARCO Guillerras Drug dealers.
Constantly harping on the dangers Communism/Marxism/Narco ect represents
because that is what works with the IGNORANT, but in reality FARC-EP and
the fighters ,who have been with in some instances thirty years,other two
days
but the army is fighting this war for a better Colombia, freedom, and to
create a better
life for their l children., revolution is serious FARC EP is consternating
evolving and our main
objective has nothing to do with ideological Dogma or any outside
influences
One of the reasons REYES feel the cyberspace is so important.it LETS US
DEFINE OURSELVES not by the US or the old line values of back in the day.
Today is the day,"FAEC-EP is not beholden to any other country,political
positions and have no orders or contact with the old line system/" the
phrase old system is direct reference to the communist parties throughout
:Latin America- who in past were more concern about how Russia view their
operation
or worried about maintain their "Party " position,hence you have your \\
answer .why movement in past had little or no chance and have been
consistently been
defeated.
For thosand
slogan defending a topic without any real knowledge.
If you think change is bad in the quest for equality,opportunity, a
government free from the Imperialist or old guard thinking.you are doomed
to failure
Colombia's Structure will be changed, if it takes another forty
year. If the "Party" does not change the"Party" will be totally not
relevant
Sendero was a disgrace attacking all the other leftist or groups
supportive
of change. Party stood by in Guatemala in 54 while Arbentz was
overthrown
without resistance or when Alleged was killed in
Chile the "party" knew trouble was coming to a head but elected to stay out,
Mario Monje the man most responsible for Che death in Bolivia .
Mario Monje the president of the Bolivian communist party} PSP}
is the poster child for why the "PARTY" has failed in Latin America
Monje lied to the Cubans,Castro about Helping Che in the mountains
with men ,supplies logistics,and vital information ., What MONJE really
did was fly to Russia for instructions, he remained as head of the
Bolivian party
only after CHE was captured and murdered/ Monje knew after his treachery if
Che lived he would certainly get killed. That why he did not have the
courage to see CHE get safe passage out of Bolivia
Che was done Russian "Party" did not approve of Che and the Cubans policy
of
supporting Armed struggle,, Just as Monje was protecting his ass, so where
the Russian .who wanted no armed conflicts in western hemisphere as they
felt
the US would hold them Accountable The only reason the Cuban Communist
party stayed basically loyal was because FRANK PAIS stayed inCuban and held
things together, Even before Castro final; victory the Communist party
members
were jockeying for their future ,which was a mistake.One the first acts
after eliminating
the Batatisa,leftovers and traitors "party" members The other were offered
a choice
to stay inCuba.and stay loyal to the Revolution ,or leave now or face the
firing squad
Summary is brief if the Party does not get the picture,then all the" Party"
will the same as the sofa revolutionaries.but all the talk and reporting of
the news will not change anything or make
life better for those who need assistance, FARC-EP is providing you with
an alternative ,you are witness
to history and eventually accomplishments that the old guard the party
Russia, China couls never accomplished < We depart with only one request
please do not believe for a second the COMMUNIST PARTY OF COLOMBIA is the
Vanguard of change in the country , you would be hard presses to find one
Party member in the mountains,the jungle,or any near the fire
AND you who were attacking Utopiaunarmed for trying to explain the
realities /only to called anti Marxist, anti etc etc and imperialist,
leftist fakes, pseudo liberals and a never ending onslaught of quotes
