But this federation wasn't anarchist in character. Both conservative and liberal elites actually tried to use these workers' groups for their own ends. Within the FON, the Grupo Socialista ended up emerging as a rebel force to challenge these elites and their influence in the workers' movement. But even that rebel group was reformist in nature.

Now, it is possible that libertarians from Spain and Mexico played roles in the stevedore strikes of 1919 in Corinto, which was Nicaragua's major port city, but I can't say for sure from my research. We do know that at least one influential person was perhaps inspired by anarchism, and that was Augusto Sandino, the leader of the Sandinista rebellion against the US occupation of Nicaragua.

Sandino worked alongside anarchists during his time in exile in Mexico during its revolution, and the red and black of the Sandinistas actually came from that anarchist influence. By the 1930s, after the US withdrawal, the labor movement had to navigate the Somoza family dictatorship, which was marked by severe repression of anything that even smelled red.

that even in the face of state violence, unions and workers groups continued to organize, laying the groundwork for future resistance, including the eventual Sandinista revolution that overthrew the Somozas in the late 70s. Some social progress was then possible in the country, but it was still marred by corruption and authoritarianism, made worse by the re-election of Daniel Ortega in 2006.

He still holds the presidency in Nicaragua to this day, managing to stave off this swell of protests against him between 2018 and 2020, of which anarchists, however small a number, did indeed take part. If we turn to Honduras now, there's not too much to say about anarchists, again, but Honduras did have a vibrant labor movement.

In 1890, La Democracia, one of the country's first mutual aid societies, emerged, with a cooperative spirit that laid the foundation for what was to come. By the early 20th century, the workers' movement in Honduras had begun to heat up even more, particularly among miners and banana plantation labourers, two groups that were central to the country's economy.

In March 1909, miners struck against brutal conditions and poverty wages. The response? Garrison, maybe you can guess?
