I have been looking up some more politics of my land of origin (Portugal Caralho) and learned some more about Otelo. He was a socialist and leader of the portuguese uprising against the fascist regime. He at one point held most power in the country and envisioned to "turn portugal in europe's cuba". As you can maybe tell he was a fan of Fidel Castro and wanted to be "europe's Castro" as he allegedly wrote in his diary but at the end did not arm the working class to lead a revolution against the bourgeois but ran for presidency in which he lost. He was also accused of being involved in the FP25 (Força Popular) which were a left-wing terrorist organisation who killed civillians...(idk about this its hard to get non-pro-capitalist information on them) and was sentenced to jail for 15 years but got out after 5 years. He is now dead, he died at the age of 84
