Eduardo Galeano, born on September 3rd in 1940, was a Uruguayan journalist and author known for, among other texts, his work "Open Veins of Latin America", which the editors of Monthly Review Press called "perhaps the finest description of the primary accumulation of capital since Marx".
Galeano began his career as a political cartoonist and journalist - at fourteen, he was contributing political cartoons to the socialist newspaper "El Sol". At 20, he was the managing director of "Marcha", a storied weekly in Uruguay.
Some of his high profile work as a journalist includes an interview with Juan Perรณn, a laudatory profile of Che Guevara, and a portrait of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, who had just completed his Maoist re-education in a nondescript building on the outskirts of Beijing.
Galeano is perhaps best known for his book "Open Veins of Latin America", which details how, through five centuries of plunder by European conquistadors and American corporations, the region's abundant natural resources had been extracted to enrich a few local elites and many foreign interests.
The editors of Monthly Review Press, which published the U.S. edition, described the book as "perhaps the finest description of the primary accumulation of capital since Marx." President Hugo Chรกvez gave a Spanish-language copy of Open Veins to President Barack Obama on his first diplomatic visit to the region.
"The human murder by poverty in Latin America is secret: every year, without making a sound, three Hiroshima bombs explode over communities that have become accustomed to suffering with clenched teeth."

post a recipe in c/food pretty please
i swear this is the third time i've seen a comment from someone else turn into yours mr comnrade_pibb, if that even IS your name
but um yeah uhhhh idk if i can do that, i kinda just vibed it out. I'll tell you what I think I remember I did though. I basically followed this recipe right here except I used pineapple chunks because they were already cut and I didn't want to waste a whole pineapple on an experiment just to make rings out of it
since that's not vegan I basically just followed it as it is but instead of buttermilk/egg I just ignored the egg and used soymilk instead. Also I used rice flour to make it gluten free. I might have added extra cinnamon/nutmeg but kept the ratio the same. I also totally forgot about the vanilla. I also added a little bit of allspice to the batter and the sugar topping. But like, less allspice than nutmeg, for sure. very little allspice.
I'm not sure the exact amount of flour or soy milk I put in but I pretty much started with what that recipe said and just vibed it out until it was a thick pancake batter sort of consistency, dredged it all over the pineapple chunks and then fried them
the coconut syrup I just mixed... idk maybe 2-3 cups of coconut milk and a cup of sugar, boiled it and then reduced the heat and let it simmer until it was real thicc. It's hard to tell how much sugar I put in because I just kept going "doesn't look right, i'mma add more" to it
I DO NOT have much experience cooking with sugar so if you make syrups and whatnot often you can probably figure out something better than me
but anyway, battered, fried, drizzled with syrup and then sprinkled with the topping
I also forgot to toast slivers of coconut to tip them with because that'd have been great too
baller thx homie
