The ELN (like the FARC and M-19 of which Petro was once a member) fought for social justice in a country run by fascists. But they’ve long since shed any pretense that they motivated by ideology. However anyone who supports peace should celebrate this deal, and I do believe that Biden will come out in favor and will make a statement to that effect. He did after all invite Petro to the White House for talks in April.
Of note: the “Total Peace” plan being promoted by Petro includes not only left wing guerilla groups but also the right wing AUC paramilitaries (who were even more brutal than the guerillas), as well as the major criminal gangs in the country.
Great take. I don’t support Petro, but any steps taken towards peace are good. Let’s hope the ceasefire actually sticks this time.
Biden is a right-wing President; I don’t trust him.
2 minute search reveals ELN is considered a “terrorist-group” by the USA. 3 minute search reveals ELN is marxist.
The joke writes itself.
Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile, and Norway are the international guarantors for the peace talks.
Norway impressed me once again. As expected there is no France or any other USA lapdogs.

Why deride them for religion and the name of the ideology instead of things that have happened IRL?
Even more ironic since the liberals want to create a christian taliban state in the USA.
You created an account at a leftcom instance, at least pretend you’re not an infiltrated liberal.
As for the post, I wish religion would disappear but sadly, it won’t. It’s called choosing the lesser of two evils.
And Jesus was communist, the bible is a communist book.

Going to take the “opium of the people” thing extremely out of context, is that what you’re going for?
