mexican anarchism is a fucking cowboys movie

[black magick hustla]

Ok so ive been researching the PLM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partido_Liberal_Mexicano because i am writing an article for the icc and its like the old wild west in the turn of the century but with crazy anarchos. Ok, the first failed insurrection in the PLM consisted of a bunch of crazy mexicans in exile basing themselves in texas and sending continous skirmishes to northern border town. the second insurrection which is the most movie like, consisted more or less of this. the PLM used Socialist Party of America money to buy armament and amunitions and it managed to convince a bunch of socialist hobos and wobblies that staging an attack in northern cities of mexico was a good idea. so in 1911 you have a few PLM militants and a bunch of white wobbly phillibusters invading baja california and declaring communism near my original hometown whiile illiterate mexican peasants are simply dumbfounded because they have no idea who are this crazy white gringos so they simply ended listening their bosses, THE END

if you want to read about cowboys and hobos and improvised ragtag armies,

revolution in baja california: Ricardo flores magon's high noon by Turner Devis

If you want to know about their political history: ricardo flores magon y el partido liberal mexicano by turner. I dont know if there is an english translation but its an excellent book

[bcbm]

you should check out the book "mexican anarchism after the revolution" by donald hodges

[black magick hustla]

ive read that

[bcbm]

good

[black magick hustla]

i think the author of the book strained his eyes too much. lucio cabanas wasnt an anarchist by any means nor was ruben jaramillo

[bcbm]

he did a good translation of "manual of the urban guerrilla" by abraham guellin(sp)

In b4 pranabjyoti's denunciation of all anarchists as liberals.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Their party did have "liberal" in the title, so case closed.

It was camouflage. See MacLachlan's Anarchism and the Mexican Revolution and Anarchism and the Mexican Working Class by John Mason Hart.

For IWW involvement see The I.W.W. in California : 1905-1931 by Hyman Weintraub.

It's also talked about it a bit in Homage to Chiapas by Bill Weinberg.
