Commons (Colombian political party)

The Commons (Spanish: Comunes), previously Common Alternative Revolutionary Force (Spanish: Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común, FARC)[2] until 24 January 2021, is a communist political party in Colombia, established in 2017 as the political successor of the former rebel group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

The party was founded after a failed referendum in October 2016 with the majority of Colombian voters voting to reject the peace agreement.

[5] The party's founding congress was held in the Bogota Convention Centre from August 28 to August 31, 2017 with the participation of one thousand delegates, including former FARC militants and members of the Colombian Clandestine Communist Party,[6] as well as some 200 invitees from various sectors of Colombian society and delegations from left-wing groups in other countries, primarily those in Latin America and the Caribbean.

[7] The congress concluded on September 1 with the unveiling of the new party in Bogotá's Plaza Bolívar, with over ten thousand people in attendance.

[12] They are looking to form a coalition with other communist groups to gain additional seats in Congress, as they remain ideologically Marxist.
