FEUDALISM, bourgeoisie exploit or Capital led the U.S. ENDS. Last Events This is an article published ago three or four months for 4 days and had to be removed. Someone I talked in this article, read it (by searching on google) and was offended, we called it off. We prefer to remove it. Here do not go around with nonsense ... After a while, fly a hang omitting some names of people. Our goal was not really report reflect and explain reality but how are you who shock us and we want to re-publish with such omissions.
These days return to have the car, we are visiting communities delivering much everything that came in the container. As you know little by little those little villages lost in the mountains, you'll discover some overly unthinkable injustice to a mind like ours used to demanding equality before the law.
I wondered where a historian or sociologist would frame these small rural realities ... these outdated feudalism in history, an exploitative bourgeoisie, effects of globalization, savage capitalism ... the truth is not very well ... perhaps only part of the current world reality, but even if I had it explained Many times you do not believe the just until you see it so clearly materialized in people nearby.
One case is that of the Villa ... (I prefer to omit the name)
This farm is known as one of the largest farms in this area of \u200b\u200bHonduras also has a part in Guatemala. When you get to where the mansion of the estate is a lot of houses to the surroundings, the farm workers and among them there is a little larger than the store, or as we say in Spain, the grocery store course owned by the same owner of the farm. Everything belongs to him and all who live in the property must work for him and such are allowed to use them any grocery store (convenience store staples.) Remember a little, with the obvious differences of location and different constructions, condominiums feudal those in which all inhabitants of a reign afforded feudal honors the Lord. The difference is that in this case if there is a war I do not think that the pattern of these lands goal in his "castle" or house their employees. Also in contrast to all these people who live or picking coffee or cardamom survives mostly from time to time a truck arrives "gringos" (Americans) who comes to visit the farm and see the areas of land that has this family as fantastic. In Copan Ruinas, which is a very touristic town, offers walks through the farm on horseback, with or without food, with or without night prices ranging from $ 30 to about $ 200
this photo of this place so you can see the proportions of which I speak. Everything you see in the photo is the property of the estate ... and of course this is only a small part of it. The mansion is what you look right next to the picture right at the foot of the mountain in front
But I promised specific cases. One of them is Zechariah Until we reached the Populorum Progressio lived with his parents in a community called Santa Rosita . is a community of 40 families and is located right in the domain of this property. Collected in this community especially cardamom and of course the employer pays for the amount of cardamom collected but that is about as about 55 Lempiras per day (2 euros and a half). Most have in your property just a small plot where is home but that is not enough to plant other products and other living manera.Tienen who rent land to the employer to cultivate their corn and beans, the staple food for alimetación. This year on the farm decidideron raise the price to rent the land of 800 lps to 2000 lps. This year many families unable to pay that amount were not able to harvest and do not know how they will do to eat.
On the other hand are forbidden to build houses with good materials. Wood can only use it on any day if the employer feels like it, take it out of there. It is clear that most have no alternative but to work for the employer. In addition to a few years ago the few who had managed to have a small plot on which to plant something more failed to sell because he was banned from entering any not outside the community and less to a seller or buyer. Luckily, this community was revealed at this injustice and lack of freedom and succeeded even though the street is owned by the farm has free transport for her.

But this is not the case of another community living in the condominiums of the farm. This is the San Antonio community
North dl. To get to this farm just have to cross through the center of the farm where there is the mansion itself is a comprehensive control who enters and who goes ... In addition, the access road to this community only half a year ago has been fixed. We, ACOES are getting scholarships to children of this community so they can study at least the primary but every time we wanted to get back to the community we should stay with them down so that it go up on mules. The rise to leg is a couple of hours ..
Finally, I want to talk about Jose.
Jose is another young Populorum Progressio. He left his community for the future a little better than his father. Luckily he found the project. Jose's family lives in the community of Pueblo Viejo
in a small adobe house in the upper la comunidad. Esta casa y las parcelas que él cultiva son propiedad de su patrón. El trabaja exclusivamente para el Patrón y este le paga 40 lempiras al día (1,80euros) con lo que tiene que mantener a toda la familia (son 7 hijos). De su parcela solo le presta un poquito para cultivar su propio maíz. Los hijos mayores buscan como irse de la casa y del pueblo para apoyar a la casa desde fuera. Una de las hijas trabaja en otro municipio y cobra al mes 800 lempiras mensuales (29euros). Lo peor es cuando te enteras de que el Padre del Patrón actual, debido a su buen comportamiento, le había regalado esa propiedad y el hijo, el actual patrón, se las arregló para cambiar esos títulos de propiedad… La cuestión es now have nothing and to make matters worse now that looks set to get the electricity to the community, the employer refuses to get home.
Well then, I think that as these cases are endless ... how wrong ... how much abuse of power ... how to fight ... how to change ... Will they be able Populorum Project our youth, to go slowly changing reality of their communities?
