There is a flag on plain red background, resembling the same
colors as the Partido Comunista Colombiano (Colombian Communist Party). This flag is the flag of the PCCC, which
stands for Partido Comunista Colombiano Clandestino (Colombian
Clandestine Communist Party), an organization that runs parallel
to Movimiento Bolivariano para la Nueva Colombia (Bolivarian Movement for the New Colombia). This PCCC organization is an
organization created by the
FARC in
order to replace the original PCC (Colombian Communist Party)
because the Farc believes that the PCC is not radical enough and
does not consider armed struggle to reach power. The flag is, as
I mentioned before, a plain rectangular red flag, with the letters
PCCC in black on the flag in diagonal form starting from the
bottom left and ending on the top right, on the top right having
a yellow hammer and sickle.

I found a variant of the flag of the PCCC. This time the
letters appear in white, plus the hammer and sickle (also in
white). Background is plain red and the design resembles pretty
much the flag of the PCC.

There
was a Colombian armed guerrilla group: Partido Revolucionario de
los Trabajdores de Colombia (PRT), or Colombian Revolutionary
Workers Party. The party was founded in 1982, but started its
armed struggle in 1984. It emerged out of the 'Majority' faction
of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Tendency, abbreviated as Tendencia
ML (ML Tendency). The ML Tendency emerged in late 1974/early
1975, after the 4th plenary session of the Central Committee of
the ML). The founders of Tendencia ML,
had been based in the Pedro Vásquez Rendón regional committee
of PCC(ML) in the Department of Antioquia.
They opposed the directive of the PCC(ML) party leadership that
cadres in the urban labour, student and teachers movements had to
shift to the countryside to join the
Popular Liberation Army. The Tendencia ML criticized PCC(ML) for
giving insufficient importance to trade unionism, electoral work
and other mass struggles.
Regional committees of Tendencia included: Antioquia: Pedro
Vásquez Rendón Western Colombia: Ricardo Torres
Bogotá/Cundinamarca: Enver Hoxha Atlantic Coast: Bernardo
Ferreira Grandet
Tendencia ML was given by internal divisions. By the late 1970s,
two separate groups had emerged, the 'Majority' and the
'Minority'. The 'Majority' would later form the Workers
Revolutionary Party (PRT) whereas the 'Minority' joined forces
with the Revolutionary Unification Movement - Marxist-Leninist,
merging into it by 1982.
The PRT was a group that had broken away from the Communist Party
of Colombia (Marxist-Leninist) in the mid-1970s. It was mainly
active in the Departments of Sucre and Bolívar.
When the PRT militias were demobilized in January 25, 1991 it had
around 200 fighters. Apart from its armed struggle PRT maintained
an open mass front, the trade union organization called Corriente
de Integración Sindical.

Leninista Maoísta (Colombian Communist Organization - Marxist
Leninist Maoist) which in turn was established back in 1990. The
establishment of the PTC (Moirista) was due to the abandoning of
the Marxism-Leninism doctrine by the

An armed illegal group created in 1992 was called "Los
Pepes" (Pepes stands for Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar, or
Persecuted by Pablo Escobar). This was a mixture between
Escobar's former Medellin Cartel associates and Cali Cartel
rivals, who, after Pablo Escobar was interned in La Catedral
prison in 1992, he (Escobar) started to murder his closest
Medellin Cartel associates. Thus, this anti-Escobar alliance
proved helpful for Colombian authorities when this organization
started to hunt his lawyers, Escobar's relatives, associates,
hideouts, properties, bodyguards, and tip the Colombian legal
authorities with valuable information. Los Pepes disbanded later
in 1993, but this was somehow the main core out of which the
current AUC (right wing armed illegal organization) emerged.

magazine - November 30th, 1998 (caption of the photo
(translation): When Los Pepes came out in the open we applauded
them. We almost issued t-shirts saying 'we support Los Pepes' -
