The much hoped-for peace in Colombia as negotiations continue between the government and the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) is just another capitalist farce in which the working class has nothing to win. This farce is so shameless that those affected by war, the displaced from the countryside, and the murder victims are only spectators of this process. Misleaders  in the political opposition with connections will reap all the benefits of restitution.
Behind the negotiations are the interests of the mining and oil corporations. All those sectors that could benefit Colombia to exploit the working class. These companies only offering miserable salaries and horrible working conditions.
Recently, there is repression against any demand or workers’ struggle, with private armies and officers murdering workers and union leaders,as well as the raping of workers and peasant women, which makes more evident the racist and sexist character of exploitation. Capitalists from Europe, the U.S. and Asia want a piece of the pie, so they are offering generous donations to politicians guarantee to buy their right to exploit workers.
World capitalism is in a crisis and the generosity they are trying to show with legislation benefiting undocumented workers in the U.S., and removing the needs for visas in Europe are only tactics to prop up their declining rates of profits. We must pay attention to these conditions and refrain from siding with any capitalist faction. We must organize and fight around PLP’s line to develop a communist base and, in the not so distant future, abolish capitalism with the dictatorship of the proletariat. Join PLP.
