You didn't already know this shit? This should be one of the first things people discuss in the history of geopolitical conflict in relation to capitalism. Shit like this is still going on, union busting in the most violent form is commonly supported by large corporations in order to keep their workforce in South America cheap.
I never realized how cheap bananas are. o_o
Post more eye-opening shit like this please.
No I definitely didn't, I had no clue the consequences were this fucked up. Legitimately creeped out right now, I really need to pick up my history game.
There's blood on your hands. o_o
They did the same thing to Honduras over pineapples.
I learnt about it through the first Tropico game, I was a horrible reactionary little shit at the time though so I thought it was completely justified to stop those damn commie bastards.
The CIA spent the whole Cold War pulling that kind of shit. It was particularly nasty in Chile and Guatemala.

Where should one go to if they wanted to read more into this type of stuff? Specifically the evils of neo-liberalism. I have a basic understanding of world history but specific atrocities like this weren't in my classes for some reason.
HOLY SHIT
I FINALLY REALIZE WHAT BANANA REPUBLIC MEANS
t. someone who calls his country a banana republic sometimes
...
Bump. Is there a book about this exact topic that meticulously details these types of capitalist ploys?
It's pretty simple actually. Wherever you see a large concentration of capital, then exploitation, death and corruption are behind it. No exceptions.
Repeat after me, kids.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING
ETHICAL CONSUMPTION
UNDER CAPITALISM
fug, and now I can't delet because password error
I'm not a lefty-pro, sorry. I only know the basics n shit
Knowing what a banana republic is is less about leftism than just general knowledge.
I'm not well informed then? You don't have to be rude about it. ))
ax, ti ruski?
It's not your fault. Don't take it personally. I'm bothered that society doesn't do a better job informing people.
Oh. I wonder why this wasn't a part of your standard porky curriculum.
No thanks. Parroting dogmatic drivel isn't really my thing.
Not increasing the wealth of the most ruthless capitalists is obviously preferable.

Are you sure it isn't just an innocent clothing store made solely with the sweat on some capitalist's brow :🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Wait. Does this make the United States Israels bomb republic?
nah im from serbia :d
there's lot of anti-communist propaganda here cuz we used to be a socialist country
I know, my parents are Russian ))
We fucked you over pretty good, but at least you're not Ukraine ;)

No. The point of a banana republic is that the country is basically just a front for the company that sells the bananas. The US has a lot more going on than just Israel. If anything, Israel is the US's military policy scare tactic republic.
I thought this was common knowledge.
But yeah, this and Foxconn are my favorite examples of crapitalism.
I like bananas.
Nothing to do with their phallic shape I'm sure, musacuck

They said Árbenz wasn't a socialist in the video though?

This is one of my faves. My boyfriend's family is Guatemalan and he has relatives that fought on both sides.
