COLOMBIA: FARC & the Politics of Terrorism

Jon Kofas says: "Colombia's FARC is not made up boyscouts, but neither are the right-wing death squads, going back to the era of La Violencia. The question is what gave birth to and what sustained FARC all these years? Was it adventurism on the part of young men and women? Was it the belief that Colombian society historically is made up of a few families that enjoy privileges in the same manner as the French aristocracy before 1789, while the masses endure hardships?
WAIS may wish to take up the issue of social justice and explore it further.
Is social justice the same to all societies and all cultures?
Is social justice gender neutral?
Is social justice based on religious foundations, or secular?
Are there common philosophical foundations of social justice?
Is social justice a vague concept that is so subjective that it is meaningless, or is it universally recognized from the jungles of Colombia to Yonkers, New York, to Paris, to Moscow, to Lagos, Nigeria?"
