The war pitted the primarily Marxist-Leninist and Socialist factions against the US-backed Salvadoran military dictatorship.
The Marxists transitioned into a political party after the 1992 Peace Accords, which ended the war but left many systemic inequalities unresolved. In the 21st century, labor struggles have continued amid neoliberal economic reforms and international financial pressures.

While the left-wing FMLN won the presidency in 2009 and held power until 2019, its tenure was criticized for failing to sufficiently address the issues plaguing the country. Recent years under President Nayib Bukele have seen the construction of a proper mass carceral police state, while workers struggle against privatization and austerity measures.

By the way, the rise of Achille is just really fascinating to me, particularly from a Trinidadian context, because we have a pretty severe murder rate situation going on. Our murder rate has been rising steadily in the past two decades. And there's just been, in general, a lot of crime issues lately.

And the response I've seen a lot of Trinidadians have toward the rise of Achille in El Salvador is literally like, We should do that too. We need to do that too. Like we need to, you know, institute like a mascot for our state as well. And I feel like I'm fighting a wave. I'm like talking to a wall.

It's really difficult for me, I think, to challenge that because I understand people's frustrations. But to me, my mind is just boggled at it. You know, like you really think we complain about corruption all the time, right? Like it's very openly nepotistic and corrupt in this place.

We know that all people are locked up without charges, without rights, without anything. And what's crazy to me is that like, people are like cheering it on until it's them. Until you happen to be unlucky enough to have a tattoo.
