Fun fact: Dole was also partly responsible for the coup the overthrew the Hawai'ian monarchy and annexing into America. This time for pineapples
Pineapple republic, as a mexican I was not aware of that hiden part of hawaiian story, I felt upset when reading how it ended I related somehow to being under control of a goverment ruled by someone who does not even care about you and not being able to do a thing to change it, sadly thats how many people lives nowdays, we never learn.
As a person living in Hawaii for all of their life, I am internally screaming
Great, now a want a banana
@@FisherStAmour-xl4qz looked it up, my bad it was an anachronism. Sanford Dole forms the coup government in 1894 mostly in service of castle & cooke holdings before the foundation of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company in 1901. So it's the other way around Dole lead a coup in Hawaii and then used the resulting power to grant a monopoly to his cousins Dole Fruit company after it was founded.
*insert Bob Dole jokes*
one of the wildest parts of my childhood was going to the children's museum and playing in the part where you could pretend to be a labourer in a banana plantation only for my grandpa to start spouting war stories his father told him about the actual banana plantations
gotta indoctrinate the youth
Sounds like something Larry David would do.
The banana doesn't fall too far from the tree
you’re not gonna believe this but the youtube app asked me how I feel about your comment with a few pictures of smile faces like they have at the doctor when they ask you how much it hurt when you’re a kid
@@Menace0 how happy or sad does it make you that i played in a simulacrum of a banana plantation while my grandfather imagined how his life would've gone if he had gone off to work at one as a young lad instead of staying in his family home and eventually marrying
Imagine being Sam’s neighbor and you just hear him screaming “COMMIEEEE” at 2 in the morning
"I think the neighbor is having a ptsd episode, should we do something?"
"Nah hes just recording a video"
Made me laugh
That would be a huge pain in the ass to explain, why were you screaming "CUMMIE" in the middle of the night.
My neighbors probably relate

Fun fact: the Chiquita Banana company tried to assassinate my Abuelo when he advocated for worker's unionization and rights in Honduras during the 20th century! So not only did they kill leaders, they didn't hesitate to kill anyone who even considered talking back! My Abuelo eventually immigrated to the US for asylum, and continued to advocate for unionization where they couldn't kill him as easily, haha.

"I conquered Nicaragua for United Fruit." - Smedley Butler, most decorated American soldier at the time of that quote. War is a racket.
Marine*
Doesn’t have much to do with anything but I had just read about Smedley yesterday. Apparently he was hired by all these businesses to overthrow FDR in the 1930s and help them install a dictatorship instead. He told the president instead. The coup was prevented and no one was prosecuted. Butler hated his life, denounced capitalism and labeled himself a “racketeer for capitalism” for decades. Roosevelt himself was viewed as a Communist by many of these businessmen. Butler was a Roosevelt supporter though and these businesses were idiots for trying to hire HIM of all people to lead their attempted Coup. The entire thing was ridiculous if not a little scary.
@@israeldelarosa5461 Jonathan Katz has just written a book about Smedlsy Butler and his era called Gangsters of Capitalism.
War isent about profit
Thats why we invaded Iraq, cuz they "knocked 2 buildings down" so we took their oil fields for almost 11 years and raised the price of gas back home. . . . . Wait a second

The Dole Sam talks about in this video, Sanford B. Dole, was actually a cousin of James Dole, who helped create Dole Food Co. Not the same guy, but related.
I get that this is supposed to be humorous but hearing about the Banana Republics is just sad and anger-inducing no matter how it was retold.
Fun fact!
United Fruit literally admitted openly to knowingly funding terrorist militias in Colombia to further their political goals.
And not one fatcat saw a prison cell as a result. The company had to pay a measly 25 million to the US government, not even to Colombia

In Colombia, there's a similar story. In 1928, workers of the banana plantations were protesting against the terrible working conditions. After weeks with no agreement due to the United Fruit Company refusing to negotiate, the conservative Colombian government sent the army to kill the protesting workers. They were compelled to work in the company's interests because they didn't want them to cut off the Colombian banana trade from major powers. This is now known as "La masacre de las bananeras" or the Banana Massacre. This is even referenced in One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
Just like during the Cold War, US officials in Colombia and United Fruit Co. representatives portrayed them as communist in telegrams sent to then Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg

I'm actually from Guatemala and you have no idea on how much that impacted my country. We are still not recovering from this, as a matter of fact. We are still mourning Jacobo Arbenz, as he was exitiliated from the country and never came back after 1944! Our currency (quetzal) was at dollar level, and obviously that wasn't good for them. Now 7.6 quetzales make up one dollar. And I ran out of facts lol.
Yeah, natural resources are still being exploited mainly by US companies and they still don't pay their workers shit neither the taxes they should

This wasn't just bananas in central-america, it was oil in Iran, copper in Chile, and don't get me started on Africa.
In short, it's Capitalism creating the upper class who force profit onto necessities, turning into Authoritarianism.
My dad said that when he was a Marine, his commanding officer said, "Alrighty boys let fight another war for DeBeers" right before going to Africa. Sad stuff.
My father started working for the Vaccaro line in the mid fifties, his first boss Blaise tried to bring boxing back to Nola and got in trouble via forming relationships with Frankie Carbo and Frank Costello and was removed by the matriarch of the family I think is what my dad said . Also the Nola crime commission had a public forum regarding this. He stayed until,just after Murdock bought castle and Cooke.

False. The Banana Massacre killed about 13 to 23 workers, but the number has never been verified.
The 3,000 figure was essentially invented and popularized by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in One Hundred Years of Solitude to give a greater impact to the theme of his work as it pertains to colonialism.
Nobody in it died with dignity
There was another massacre in El Salvador in 1932 which killed an estimated 10-40 thousand peasants who were rebelling against the puppet state. As for the other guy it's likely hundreds if not thousands were killed in Colombia. The government under reported casualties for obvious reasons

Fun fact! In Bloons TD 5, there was an upgrade for the banana farm called the Banana Republic that had the appearance of a fanciful villa with banana tree sprites! It would give 25 banana drops that rewarded $40 per pickup. It was one of the most powerful midgame upgrades in the game because of this. Unfortunately, the devs decided that angering entire countries wasn't worth the joke and renamed it in Bloons TD 6 as the Banana Plantation.

@@garibanibizzeka didn't a Marxist get elected in Chile?
@@muon1057 yes indeed, Salvador Allende won the 1970 elections by popular votes. He nationalized every business, including those in which the US had influence and bought shares. In 1973 the CIA backed the opposing faction of the army and killed Allende. From '73 to 1990 Agusto Pinochet ruled Chile as a ruthless dictator, killing, torturing or deporting (if lucky) any dissidents.
I Guess democracy only counts when it's convenient.
@@muon1057 i apologise if You knew this already, maybe your comment meant to reflect how You knew or lived the situation, I was just shining some Light into a period of history in which these dictatorships where all over South América
@@nickocampo1730 "I guess democracy only counts when its convenient"
Im definitely gonna use this as a quote, thanks for saying the perfect sentence for describing US foreign intervention
Fun fact: here in Colombia the United fruit company massacred a bunch of their employes I can’t remember the details but that story is very well known in the country
It was probably a protest. I think it was they asked the US governement to send aid and they sent troops to disperse the crowds. Then the colombian government brought in their troops. Shit happened and they had their own mini tamenin square (fuck idk how to spell but the chinese one) incident.
Fun fact, huh?
"very well known story" "I can't remember the details"
@@fumothfan9 the chinese one is spelled tiananmen
@@brownscooter9869 well he did know the story... It's just not specific.
You forgot when United Fruit co. Overthrew the Guatemalan government
“If I had a nickel for every time a banana company overthrew a Latin American government, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened twice”
And one time it involved the Secret Service trying and failing to stop it.
what was the other one? xd
I just read that in a Doofenschmirtz voice.
you would have a lot more
Bruh, if I had a nickel for every time the U.S. overthrew a democracy and installed a brutal dictator that went on to commit genocide, I'd be able to buy a five story mansion with a new sports car.
If I had a nickel for how many times I’ve been woken up after falling asleep to TH-cam by Sam playing Dwight Eisenhower and screaming “COMMIE!”…well I’d only have two nickels but it’s strange it’s happened twice
“Well I suppose it’s not our place to be policing the governments of other nations... yet”
Nanners
Also a completely inaccurate comment. Eisenhower interfered in Lebanon and in Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia)

In the words of famed WWII general and US President Dwight “Deez Nuts” Eisenhower:

Anthony McAuliffe was the one who "Deez Nuts"ed von Luttwitz at Bastogne

i love this video, and it answers the question of “does capitalism work?”
because it does, but the real question is, “for whom does capitalism work?”
Funny how capitalist countries have higher wage than in communist country
all the other poor capitalist countries can suck it, and if they dont like it, boom, banana republic, fuck you poor people.
Capitalism works as long as you have the resources to work with it.
If you don't (example, you live under a country that has been screwed by another in the past example Honduras), you are f*cked since minimum wage works won't exactly allow you to work with capitalism in your favour
Answer, "not for you"
☝🏾✨ Bingo!
This video got me an A on a shity project i did like a year ago thank you Sam
I told my government teacher "hey did you know that president Eisenhower killed a South American government leader because a banana company bribed him to do so" and I have never seen a more confused man in my life
Edit: I now know it's Central American, not South American
Wisdom is wise NOT SOUTH, Central América
@@kbjosekiller too late for that now but okay
Wisdom is wise they didnt kill him, they just overthrew him
@@jarnodatema Once again, kinda late but alright.

Just a note - Fuck you. You fucked with my speakers during the Commie rant. Go fuck yourself.
Sam O'Nella Academy your 50th on treading
A suggestion for your future videos would be to leave your references in the description. A lot of the things you bring up are absurd enough that I need to fact check, and sometimes I have a hard time doing so.
fun fact: zemurray overworked his workers so severely that they quite literally turned blue from the medicine they had to put on the banana leaves.
