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.

Yeah, exactly. It's like, oh, it's fine as long as it's somebody else. But like, let's say you have a tattoo or, I mean, the thing is the police, I'm sure it's the case in El Salvador as well, because the police are themselves a gang pretty much anywhere in the world. But the police in Trinidad are literally connected in some cases with gangs.

In fact, there's some gang members who end up like joining the police force later on in their lives. And so to just give that kind of power to them, you know, let's say you criticize an officer, you say something that they were like, and then before you know it, you're the one behind bars as well. I understand the frustration. I don't understand the response.

And it remains to be seen how Bukele's policies continue to play out in the country. I feel like it's a disaster waiting to happen. In many ways, it is already a disaster. But, you know, people point to, oh, look how safe things have gotten now. But I don't know how long that will last.

Especially when the families that are responsible for so much of the disparity in the country are still in their position of power. But I digress. The spirit of mutually direct action and anti-authoritarian resistance still has the potential to persist in the country of El Salvador. At last we've reached Guatemala.

In 1926 the publication Orientación Sindical started circulating in Guatemala, calling for the kind of direct grassroots union action that went around or even opposed political parties as obstacles to liberation. Meanwhile the Marxists in the country had a different vision.
