High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The history of communism in Colombia goes back as far as the 1920s and has its roots in the idealism of the Russian October Revolution. Today the guerrilla groups, self-proclaimed as communists, state that they want to seize state power in Colombia by violent means, and the organizations such as Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People"s Army (FARC-EP) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) still continue their four decades old war with the United States-backed Colombian government. Many social science experts around the world who have studied the historical events in Colombia suggest the influence and intervention, as in many other South American countries, of the United States and of the Soviet Union to stop or enhance, given the case, of communism in Colombia. Some important characters in the history of communism in Colombia are Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, Jaime Pardo Leal, Carlos Pizarro Leongomez, Bernardo Jaramillo Ossa, and Jaime Bateman Cayon, among others. Many of these figures were persecuted or eventually assassinated under different circumstances. According to some critics, evidence of the involvement of members of the Colombian Army and of United States organizations like the Central Intelligence Agency was present in several of the cases.
