Domingo López Torres

Domingo López Torres (1910—1937) was a Canary painter, writer, and poet. Born to a very poor family in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, he became an autodidact and convinced Marxist, playing a large role in the development of revolutionary intellectualism in the Canary Islands. He published incendiary articles in various labor publications, such as La Tarde and Gaceta del Arte.

In 1930, he founded the cultural, ideological, and political journal Cartones. In 1935, he opened a bookstore-tobacconist's shop, which became a meeting place for the far left of the Canarian political and literary elite.

At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, he was one of the first to be apprehended. He was imprisoned and then shot at a Nationalist concentration camp in 1937. This overcrowded prison had been a former Fyffes warehouse where bananas had been stored.

gollark: Combined with the 0 to 15 regular redstone transmission rate, adjacent devices can transfer 2.5 bytes per tick with no peripherals, though I imagine autodetection could be annoying.
gollark: This actually allows sending arbitrary values between 0 and 65535, at a rate of one per tick.
gollark: Interesting fact: two adjacent computers can send and receive bundled cable redstone, without any actual bundled cable.
