    My old boss was a little old Venezuelan lady that only once referred to her leaving the country in the 80s because of 'las comunistas' and I never understood what she was on about nor forgave her

      "las comunistas"? She meant the communists women?

        I don't know any Español (my expertise is strictly in Germanic languages) so I wrote communists as feminine because even if it's wrong, it should be feminine anyway

        yea I never understood it. I know that she was here (in the UK) pre-98 because there are documents at work authored by her that go back to at least '93 as i recall.
        i think she might have been referring to demonstrations, or rallies or something else - i have a vague recollection of some reference to student activism? i might be crossing my wires though 'cause communist-affiliated student groups existed in pretty much every country in the whole world
