As happened elsewhere in the world, in Colombia during the 1960s and 1970s prevailed an atmosphere of revolutionary struggle. Union leaders, former members of the communist party, some writers and artists of advanced and university students were drawn from the points of ideological, emotionally and politically, for the discursive currents advocating total revolution. This article analyzes the cases of five young people who went from the ideological struggle to arms. This is the case of Arenas Jaime Reyes, Victor Medina Morón, Fabio and Manuel Vásquez Castaño and and Ricardo Lara Parada, who formed the first nucleus of what was then known as Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN). A prosopographical analysis of these five cases allow us to see the close relationship between the university atmosphere of the 60s and 70s and the emergence of armed struggle in Colombia.
