Juan Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán, born on the 14th of september in 1913, was a Guatemalan military officer and politician who served as the 25th president of Guatemala. He was Minister of National Defense from 1944 to 1951, and the second democratically elected President of Guatemala from 1951 to 1954. He was a major figure in the ten-year Guatemalan Revolution, which represented some of the few years of representative democracy in Guatemalan history.
Árbenz instituted many popular reforms, including an expanded right to vote, the right of workers to organize, legitimizing political parties, and allowing public debate.
The centerpiece of his policy was an agrarian reform law, under which uncultivated portions of large land-holdings were expropriated in return for compensation and redistributed to poverty-stricken agricultural laborers. Approximately 500,000 people benefited from the decree, the majority of them were indigenous people, whose forebears had been dispossessed after the Spanish invasion.
Opposition to these policies caused the United Fruit Company to lobby the United States government to have him overthrown. The U.S. was also concerned by the presence of communists in the Guatemalan government, and Árbenz was ousted in the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état engineered by the U.S. government on June 27th, 1954.

Today I learned a valuable lesson: I should've stolen more stuff from work.
People always coming up to me and asking "Wmill, you're a smart boy so why are you a commie? If communism was so good then why didn't they make a sequel?"

Looking up countercultures opposed to smartphones and almost all of them are like “teach your children self control”. All that “self-denial is the way to God” neo-Protestant garbage.
Small update: I'm two weeks sober. Probably should have given an update last week, since that's how we do things around here, but I spaced. I'm feeling a bit more energetic and things don't feel so drab. I also don't sweat through my shirt when I do a minimal amount of physical work anymore. Still plenty of work to do.
Thanks again to @comi for checking in on me during the first week. Probably kept me from grabbing a bottle in the first few days.
Comrades, I have bad news. I regret to inform you that I have a crush on my boss. Even though it's not my fault because she's cute and tells me what to do, which is an irresistible combination, I have already filed the paperwork to send myself to the :gulag:
The economy is just pokemon cards for adults. The bits of paper with bigger numbers aren't special. They just print less at the factory. It's a scam
