The Bolivarian Forces of Liberation (Spanish: Fuerzas Bolivarianas de Liberación FBL) is a communist[1] guerrilla organization operating in Venezuela. The group claims to fight for Bolivarianism, a left-wing, South American ideology. The group was formerly known as the Bolivarian Forces of Liberation – Liberation Army (Spanish: Fuerzas Bolivarianas de Liberación – Ejército Libertador FBL-EL), but they have not attached the suffix to their name in recent years.
