[Marxism] The Right Wing Peace Movement and the FARC

[Richard Fidler]

Further to Anthony's informative post, here's an excellent
backgrounder on the FARC, Venezuela's role, and the events leading
up to tomorrow's "peace" march in Colombia:

Hopefully I can write something longer on this issue,
but those of you interested in Colombia should know
that is happening Monday. There will be a massive
"Peace" demonstration, which will really be a massive
WAR demonstration against the FARC.

Newspeak may have gone further here than in most other
places.

Here is a brief explanation. After the FARC bumbled
Hugo Chavez hostage release negotiations, the
Uribistas and the United States launched a major two
pronged political offensive aimed against both Chavez
and the FARC.
