Remember everybody: Anti-Communism is ALWAYS cover for promoting the fascism and misery necessary to maintain a capitalist economy with a wealthy elite; and the New York Times as an organization is complicit in that effort!

Chiquita (United Fruit Company) is also who brought us the term "Banana Republic" Since 2015 Chiquita has been owned by a Brazilian company called "Cutrale" who has a similar reputation of worker exploitation. They also have several OJ plants in Florida that supply Minute Maid concentrate
