Communism refers to a conjectured future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production, and to a variety of political movements which claim the establishment of such a social organization as their ultimate goal. Early forms of human social organization have been described as "primitive communism." However, communism as a political goal generally denotes a conjectured future form of social organization which has never been implemented. There is a considerable variety of views among self-identified communists. However, schools of communism associated with Karl Marx ( Marxism) and of Vladimir Lenin ( Leninism) have the distinction of having been a major force in world politics since the early 20th century. Class struggle plays a central role in the theory of Marxism. The establishment of communism is in this theory viewed as the culmination of the class struggle between the capitalist class (the owners of capital) and the working class. Marx held that society could not be transformed from the capitalist mode of production to the communist mode of production all at once, but required a transitional period which Marx described as the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. The communist society Marx envisioned emerging from capitalism has never been implemented, it remains theoretical. However, the term "Communism", especially when the word is capitalized, is often used to refer to the political and economic regimes under communist parties. ...more on Wikipedia about "Communism"
The history of the Colombian communist struggle goes back as far as the 1920's and has its roots in the idealism of the Russian October Revolution. Today the guerrilla groups, self-proclaimed as communists, state that they want to seize state power in Colombia by violent means, and the organizations such as Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia the People's Army (FARC-EP) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) still continue their four decades old war with the United States backed Colombian government. Many social science experts around the world who have studied the historical events in Colombia suggest the influence and intervention, as in many other South American countries, of the United States of America and of the former Soviet Union to stop or enhance, given the case, of Communism in Colombia. The most popular characters in the history of communism in Colombia are Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, Jaime Pardo Leal, Carlos Pizarro León-Gómez, Bernardo Jaramillo Ossa, and Jaime Bateman Cayón. All of these were assassinated under strange circumstances, and, according to some, evidence was present of the involvement of members of the Colombian Army and of United States organizations like the CIA. Currently, violent Guerrilla leaders like the founder of the FARC, Jacobo Arenas, or his successor, Manuel Marulanda Velez, self-proclaimed as "Communists", are involved in kidnapping, drug smuggling, and the killing of many innocent Colombian people, destroying the possibilities of establishing a "Communist State" in Colombia that would turn in fact into a dictatorial narco-state, as has happened in the areas controlled by the FARC today. The popularity of these Guerrilla groups in Colombia is minimal, but they force by violent means peasants in the Colombian country side who are chronically underserved by successive Colombian governments to work for them as soldiers or to cultivate drugs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Communism in Colombia"
