Paramilitary forces and “democratic Security”
N
arco-paramilitary forces were an instrument of politics and the Democratic Security Doctrine (DSD), a continuation of the National Security Doctrine (NSD) from earlier decades, recycled and masked. Their job was to ensure a problem-free exploitation of the natural resources by transnational companies and capital in general (the big companies). Evil trilogy
The official army uses paramilitarism to avoid criminal accountability. They tolerate, allow and work together with them. Sometimes they commit crimes in the name of the paramilitaries. They get to a peasant’s area to tear it to the ground and burn it. They start to run their chain saws (the same instrument that destroyed nature, cutting trees, ends up destroying the human bodies of anyone opposed to the capitalist regime). They burn people alive, destroy their schools, their crops and they steal their cows and raze anything they find in their way. The same criminals who massacre their own people not only don’t go to jail, they also launder their money and introduce themselves “legally” into the Colombian economy.
