CONT

Le mouvement [...] doit alors revêtir un caractère continental et s'appuyer sur la théorie du foco développée dans les écrits de Che Guevara : la guerre de guérilla est nécessaire pour faire la révolution; les conditions pour une révolution réussie peuvent être créées par la lutte armée; les zones rurales sont les meilleurs champs de bataille dans les pays sous-développés; la guérilla commence par la création d'un foco (foyer) dirigé par les classes moyennes révolutionnaires, ensuite rejoint par les paysans.
