ClickHoleLawsuit Looming: Tupac’s Estate Is Suing Pepto Bismol For A Commercial Where An AI-Generated Tupac Laments That The Only Thing He Misses In Death Is Pepto-Bismol
MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History November 4, 1780: The Rebellion of Túpac Amaru II against Spanish rule in the Peru began. The Spanish captured and executed Tupac in 1781, but the rebellion continued for another year. Many women participated in the rebellion, including Tupac’s wife, Micaela Bastidas, who commanded her own battalion, and who many claimed was even more daring than her husband. The uprising began because of “reforms” by the colonial administration that increased taxes and labor demands on both indigenous and creole populations. However, there was also an ongoing desire to overthrow European rule and restore the pre-conquest Incan empire. And though this would merely replace one feudal power with another, there were also Jacobin and proto-communist elements to the rebellion. Most of the Tupamarista soldiers were poor peasants, artisans and women who saw the uprising as an opportunity to create an egalitarian society, without the cast and class divisions of either the Spanish or Incan feudal systems.
The uprising began with the execution of Spanish colonial Governor Antonio de Arriaga by his own slave, Antonio Oblitas. Tupac Amaru II then made a proclamation claiming to be fighting against the abuses of Spain and for the peace and well-being of Indians, mestizos, mambos, native-born whites and blacks. They then proceeded to march toward Cuzco, killing Spaniards and looting their properties. Everywhere they went, they overthrew the Spanish authority. Tupac’s wife, Michaela Bastidas commanded a battalion of insurgents. Many claimed she was more daring and a superior strategist than her husband.
As a result of Tupac’s leadership and success against the Spanish, he became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and in the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after him. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.

HardgrüvToday in Labor History October 8, 1969: Disguised as a funeral procession, the leftist Uruguayan Tupamaro urban guerrilla organization occupied the town of Pando, robbing three banks of over 40 million pesos. Numerous other robberies followed. They distributed the stolen food and money among the poor in Montevideo. The Tupamaros, named for the revolutionary Túpac Amaru II, who led a major indigenous revolt against the Viceroyalty of Peru in 1780, were active in the 1960s and ‘70s. They also committed political kidnappings and assassinations, including the murder of FBI and CIA agent Dan Mitrione, who had been advising and training Uruguayan police in torture and counterinsurgency. José Mujica, who later became president of Uruguay, had been a member of the Tupamaros.
