Until this country feels a lot more pain, it won't change. Critics say it is arbitrary and harsh, but no one denies that it is efficent. The move gives the rebels near-complete power to set prices for coca paste, levy taxes and keep out the rightist paramilitaries, who compete with the FARC for control of the cocaine business. The rebels have created a system of courts that metes out punishment for crimes - most of which are the usual rural crimes of cattle theft, property disputes and drunken feuds. Late-night curfews are enforced, residents must participate in weekly street cleanups and prostitutes get weekly health checkups.
Punishment is usually fast and severe.
Any suspicion of graft by municipal officials prompts a public trial - and, usually, punishment. If the USA wishes to defeat FARC, it will never succeed militarily. The only way to do that is legalize cocaine, which would be available in clinics. No black market means a low price, no drug-related crime in this country, etc. Everyone will win except the moral pontificators.
