The purpose of this article is to explain the genocide of the Unión Patriótica (UP) in terms of the national economy and its strategic location based on a theoretical approach using some elements proposed by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt. In conclusion, the genocide of the UP was a consequence of their local power, which put the continuity of the dominant political classes at risk due to their proposals as a political collective. Likewise, this fact led to the construction of a negative narrative about them as enemies of civil society due to their origin. Finally, the memory proposals identified are a consequence of the achievements and social struggles of the victims.
