Revolutionary Movement Tupamaro (Spanish: Movimiento Revolucionario Tupamaro, MRT), often shortened to Tupamaro, is a far-left Marxist-Leninist communist party and one of the most prominent colectivos in Venezuela.[3] Several Tupamaros participate in peaceful movements while some believe in the "idea of armed struggle as a means to gain power."[4] The group supports the National Liberation Army (ELN)[1] and allegedly had ties with Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).[2]
