Peace Delegation of the FARC-EP salutes Workers World Party on the 56th national conference (November 15-16 2014). Comrades, The Peace Delegation FARC-EP says in the name of our organization: “We are present” and salutes your conference with revolutionary feelings and class solidarity. Capitalism remains locked in the turmoil of its systemic crisis. The perverse logic of neoliberalism yields no replacement for the forms of exploitation of the poor of the earth, who grow more numerous and poorer, while a handful of billionaires, ever fewer in number, grow richer in capital — but they find nowhere to store their huge profits, these owners of the huge transnational corporations plaguing the world. Militarist aggression is on the order of the day; the crisis grows much more dangerous for the empire and its satellites, and as they fall they may drag down the planet itself. The peoples’ resistance everywhere bears witness to the need to bring the empire to an end, but it will not end on its own. Violence means domination, far beyond that inherent to the outrageous inequality imposed on the people, the commonplace massacres, vicious attacks on communities, physical assaults and murder. The mainstream media of disinformation, a real weapon in the war, deserve special mention. Regarding our struggle, last May we completed 50 years of armed resistance while carrying out our legitimate right of rebellion. We are not the cause of the violence; we are the response to the state’s aggression. Here in Havana we complete, as of Nov. 19, two years the Table of Negotiations, where we have achieved partial agreements in 3 of the 6 points on the agenda of the General Agreement on ending the conflict and building a stable peace. We move forward to the discussion of the other points. They are wrong who consider dialogue surrender. The struggle for peace has always been a revolutionary banner. The president of Uruguay, José Mujica, said it well: “Peace in Colombia is peace on the continent.”
