COLOMBIA, March 7—The peace referundum deal was that the fake leftist group FARC (The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) would surrender their weapons in exchnage for the right to run for office.
More than a year has passed, and none of what was agreed on has happened, generating fierce debate and polarization about the agreements signed by the leadership of the FARC and the Colombian government.
Progressive Labor Party knows that capitalism means unemployment, misery, and the death of workers, and under the current dictatorship of the bosses, nothing else is possible.
Last weekend, five community leaders were assassinated in different parts of the country, and the number of murders of leftist leaders is increasing.  Last year, we saw the assassinations of 194 people dedicated to social causes, communities, and the defense of human rights.
With the support of U.S. imperialism, paramilitary death squads have been killing thousands of Colombian workers over decades. These murders have to be counted on top of the more than five million displaced by a war of imperialist pillage. We workers cannot believe in capitalist peace; all politicians want nothing more than to disarm us, so we can be killed without opposition.  
Capitalism never completes what it promises and signs on to; all it cares about is that we believe in its rotten bourgeois democracy.  The bosses only want to increase their profit margins, and this can be achieved through the misery of millions of proletarians. This is the essence of capitalism. They exploit and deny workers our necessities and do it all through the force of arms and political trickery.
Cops kill & terrorize farmers
In the month of October, members of the repressive police force fired without provocation against groups of workers that were protesting in some mountain towns like the Tumaco municipality, leaving nine dead and 21 wounded.  The farmers were protesting the slow implementation of the program meant to switch out illegal crops, something expected to result from the peace process.
According to the medical examiner, the bodies showed wounds caused from high velocity projectiles, with ballistics experts determining that the shots were fired at close range and by official weapons. Vice president Germán Vargas Lleras has gone on to say that the victims were not from the area.  This official lie spread as a smokescreen to divert attention from the accusations of repressive force and paramilitaries in the state, looking instead to blame guerilla dissidents as the parties responsible for these crimes.
CHALLENGE shows us that there are no good capitalists, and that we cannot ally ourselves with any sector of the bourgeoisie. We reject any goals other than the fight to achieve communism. Only the unity of the working class around the revolutionary politics of the PLP and the fight for communism will free us from capitalist murder and its sexism, racism, nationalism, and wage slavery.
