FARC's finances relies mostly on drug taxation, extortions of locals and hostage taking. If they ever were agrarian, or revolutionary, as they claim, they certainly have ceased to be so long ago and became a gangster, criminal cartel that terrorizes the people they claim they want to liberate. As much as the Colombian government is worth overthrowing, I don't think you'll find too many support for them from my league. I certainly think they need to be cracked down, the fact is, most of them will probabily get absorbed into the Colombian military once that happens since they do exactly the same things on either side there is little need for training in the new position.

It's easy to condamn other people's crimes, especially when they happen to be official enemies. There is nothing you could do about it, so it carries little weight. Being critical of one's own country's, on the other hand, usually leads to the uncomfortable conclusion that one may be responsible too, and should do something to change it. If not, then one really have no right to complain. Of course one can, but in such cases, nobody should really care, like nobody really cares about idle whiners in general.
