But now let's make our way north to Colombia as a similar story unfolds of anarchism taking root in the early 20th century. And this is actually a fun fact here because both Elise Recluse and Mikhail Bakunin visited Colombia. Recluse was there for research purposes and Bakunin wasn't an anarchist at the time.

They also got to work building worker societies and organizing mass actions, like the May 15th demonstration in 1916, which, of course, met with brutal police repression. From there, the movement gained momentum. In 1920, port workers in Cartagena went on strike, and by the following decade, anarchists were at the forefront of workers' militancy all across the Caribbean coast.

which was more connected to global struggles in the rest of Colombia and was thus a hotbed of organizing unrest. If you know the geography of Colombia, you'd know that there's a lot of jungle and mountainous region in the middle of the country. It's at the coast where you tend to have more of the activity and connection with the neighboring countries in the Caribbean Sea.

Fun fact, there's actually a lot of people in the English-speaking Caribbean aren't aware of the fact that there are people in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean who consider, you know, coastal Colombia and coastal Venezuela to be part of the Caribbean. But that's like the sort of niche discourse that you get on r slash ask Caribbean. Yeah.

The few anarchists that were present in Colombia were part of nearly every major uprising, including the Barranquilla strike of 1910, the labor wave that swept Cartagena, Barranquilla, and Santa Maria in 1918, the first strike against the notoriously bloody United Fruit Company in 1918, the Girardot railroad strike and the artisans and labor strike in Bogota in 1919, the oil strikes in Barranca Bermeja during the 1920s, including one against the Tropical Oil Company in 1927,
