Agustín Farabundo Martí Rodríguez, born on 5th of may in 1893, was a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary who led a guerrilla revolt of indigenous farmers in El Salvador that was to be crushed in the peasant massacre known as "La Matanza".

Martí is also known for co-founding of the Communist Party of Central America, as well as helping lead a communist alternative to the Red Cross known as "International Red Aid".

In 1931, Martí returned to El Salvador and helped start a guerrilla revolt of indigenous farmers. The Communist-led peasant uprising against dictator Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, fomented by collapsing coffee prices, enjoyed some initial success, but was soon drowned in a bloodbath, crushed by the Salvadoran military ten days after it had begun. Over 30,000 indigenous people were killed at what was to be a "peaceful meeting" in 1932; this became known as "La Matanza" ("The Slaughter").

For his role in the uprising, Martí was executed by Salvadoran President Hernández Martínez. Martí was the inspiration for the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, a revolutionary organization during the Salvadoran Civil War and contemporary political party in the country.

"When history cannot be written with a pen, then it should be written with a rifle." - Farabundo Martí

    Dad finally passed away (this process has made me shed my liberal tendencies and most of my liberal friends). Terrible 12 hours leading up to the final moment - he was screaming nearly the whole time in absolute pain. No drug they prescribed him could touch what he was experiencing.

    Good thing we do everything possible to allow our elders to die in peace and dignity. Just kidding. Poors get fucked.

    Awesome job, America.

    I was shopping at Trader Joe's tonight and ~10 minutes before they closed there was a crazy lady who had gone into the store without a mask. The staff kept asking her to put on a mask or leave. But she was 100% in rant-and rave mode she just kept ranting.

    I left the store right about when they closed and I though the story was already over. I was dead wrong. As I exited - I could hear her 50 feet away outside the other exit. She was still ranting and demanding they let her back inside so she could shop.

    All that effort and she didn't get get a single thing on her shopping list. But it wasn't entirely in vain. I'm sure she jumped on Facebook when she got home to say how her freedoms were trampled on. What an idiot.

      I genuinely can't understand all the people that have gotten so worked up about masks that they rage in public places about it. Some anti-mask chuds recently interrupted and shut down some kind of teacher meeting at a local middle school around me, and early in the pandemic hordes of them descended maskless upon grocery stores like they were making some kind of point. :shrug-outta-hecks:

        They want to be able to do whatever they want - wherever they want - whenever they want.

    My anxiety is spiking. Going to get my second does of autism covid vaccine and worried about getting knocked out by it but more importantly my disabled brother is also getting it and I am hoping he doesn't get a fever or anything as it could trigger a seizure. Also the future of Scotland and the UK might be decided by the election result today. Obviously I am hoping for :ukkk:
