The #UnitedFruitCompany (now #Chiquita) sacked 800 workers in 1931 in #Honduras and cut pay for the rest, so the workers went on #strike. The result? On #ThisDayInHistory in 1932, Honduras declared #MartialLaw and sent in troops. #Capitalism uses the state as its bloody enforcer.

What the fuck?

TIL the dark history of bananas. In an effort to preserve "United Fruit Company's" monopoly on bananas, the U.S. Government removed the democratically elected president of Guatemala in secret by faking a radio station that reported a fake military invasion of Guatemala. : r/todayilearned (2015) <https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3imvq9/til_the_dark_history_of_bananas_in_an_effort_to/>

okay storytime. let's talk about the united fruit company because people keep saying "this is unprecedented' and it's really not. the us has been doing this to latin america for over a century. we just got less formal about it for a while united fruit was an american company that grew bananas. sounds boring and harmless it was not by the early 1900s they owned massive amounts of land across guatemala, honduras, costa rica, panama, colombia, cuba. not just farms. railroads. ports. telegraph lines. the infrastructure

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1928, #Colombian troops did the bidding of #UnitedFruitCompany, turning machine guns on, and murdering, 2,000 #striking workers in the #BananaMassacre. UFC, now #Chiquita, has a blood-soaked, evil history. There is no ethical consumption under #capitalism.
A military #coup toppled #CarlosHerrera of #Guatemala on #ThisDayInHistory in 1921. Herrera had refused to implement concessions his predecessor had given US corporation #UnitedFruitCompany (now #Chiquita). General #Orellana replaced him and let the UFC continue killing workers.
