Communism in Colombia

The history of Communism in Colombia goes back as far as the 1920s and has its roots in the ideas of the Russian October Revolution. Self-proclaimed communist guerrilla groups[example needed] state that they want to seize state power in Colombia by violent means. Organizations such as the National Liberation Army (ELN) continue their four decades old war with the United States-backed Colombian government.[citation needed]

Many social science experts[who?] around the world who have studied historical events in Colombia note the influence and intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union, to stop or aid in the spread of communism in Colombia.

Some important figures in the history of communism in Colombia are Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, Jaime Pardo Leal, Carlos Pizarro Leongómez, Bernardo Jaramillo Ossa, and Jaime Bateman Cayón, among others. Many of these figures were eventually assassinated.[citation needed] According to critics[who?], there is evidence that the Colombian Army and the Central Intelligence Agency were complicit in some of these assassinations.[citation needed]
