False. It continues to be an example for many in the Third World. The FARC
in Colombia is basically the rural wing of the CP, which still believes
that a Soviet Colombia would be a vast improvement over what they have now.
If you hadn't noticed, the US just committed 1 billion dollars to destroy
the FARC and the ELN in the name of stopping the drug traffic. If this
turns into another Vietnam, radicals in the US are going to have the
responsibility to explain the goals and history of the FARC, just as we did
with the NLF.
