*Police murders of striking United Fruit workers at New Orleans port June 11, 1913
*CIA orchestrated coup in Guatemala, 1954, leading to decades of Genocide against Mayan people, all on behalf of United Fruit
*Death squad murders in Columbia, on behalf of Chiquita (which used to be called United Fruit)
@Lilmikesf $38.3 million is a drop in the barrel (bucket is too small) compared to the damage they have wrought in Central and South America for well over a century, but it's a start. I hope it sticks.
@lerxst@Lilmikesf Yeah it’s hard to reverse the absolute destruction of democracy that the U.S. has orchestrated in Central and South America over the years.
I mean the CIA robbed entire nations of their futures and regularly handed over power to dictators. It’s a really horrifying, shameful, and all too common feature of U.S. imperialism.
I hope it sticks too. But not enough people are concerned about the terrorism the U.S. gov carries out on the reg for big capital.
