Today is the anniversary of the United Fruit Company massacre against striking workers on the Colombian Caribbean coast in 1928. Between 1000 and 2000 banana pickers were killed in a bloodbath. The company responsible is known today as 'Chiquita.'

@BakuninsTraum United fruit company was a multinational American corporation and the massacre was designed by President Hoover with the covert paramilitary team. It’s discussed in “Surprise, Kill, Vanish” by Annie Jacobsen by uncovering sealed documents from the times. Colonialism should never be forgotten or excused away. Thanks for the post.
