In 1944, Ubico was overthrown in a general strike, which eventually evolved into the Guatemalan Revolution. The left-wing Revolutionary Action Party took power and began a process of rapid industrialization in the country. The new government brought in a new Labor Code and syndicalism began to once again take hold, seeing the founding of the Comité Nacional de Unidad Sindical in 1946. But the gains of the revolution were lost in the US-backed 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, which installed the right-wing dictatorship of Carlos Castillo Armas and the National Liberation Movement and the Guatemalan labor movement remained suppressed under a series of right-wing regimes. Today, the contemporary Guatemalan anarchist movement is a small part of the Guatemalan counter-culture.
