Tornillo Sin Fin, named after a student-run publication from Honduras that began in the 1970s in defiance of corrupt political rhetoric, serves as a monument to capitalism's devastating impact on mental health and the human spirit. This publication has long offered a voice to Hondurans fighting against capitalism’s systemic exploitation, alienation, and domination. Despite decades of struggle, these capitalist forces persist, continually degrading the lives of the poor and working class both in Honduras and abroad. Tornillo Sin Fin is a reflection on the cyclical nature of oppression and labor, echoing Shakespeare’s notion of time’s relentless, maddening rhythm, highlighting the repetitive and sometimes meaningless struggle of the oppressed.
Screw Text:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor worker,
That struts and frets their hour upon the job,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
