Some one must change this "The avowed aim of the ERP was the replacement of the Argentine government, whether civilian or military, with a revolutionary socialist dictatorship." that phrase is incorrect, the word dictatorship should be replaced maybe using "proletariat dictatorship" (this words had a very big context),that for a marxist means the start of a truly democratic society, but not just "dictatorship" that´s truly confusing and not even racional (its like throwing away all the marxist theory) remember that we are talking about a trotskyst guerilla, ideologicaly they were against the "communist" states who oppress the population in general, just like the USSR government.

Changed to "proletarian rule" (while keeping the link to the article which more fully explains the Marxist concept of "the dictatorship of the proletariat") -- Picapica 08:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ERPflag.gif

Image:ERPflag.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi, i'm from Argentina, and this article have lots of information that isn't correct. A lot of the numbers and operations that are exposed here isn't right.

"In August an assault on the barracks at Catamarca by 90 ERP guerrillas was beaten off and they lost 19 dead and 15 captured"

  • The attack to the barracks in Catamarca never took place, because the guerrillas were found while they were preparing for the assault.
  • The army didn't take any guerrilla alive and killed them in Capilla del Rosario, after the guerrillas surrender.

In December 1975 a force of some 1,000 ERP men attacked the Monte Chingolo barracks outside Buenos Aires but lost 160 dead.

  • The force of ERP in the attack to Monte Chingolo was of around of 250 ERP.
  • The dead in the attack were around 43 for the ERP, and after the attack the army killed several civilians in the proximities of the barracks, and added them like if they were involved in the attack.
