WHITHOUT BOURDER, WITHOUT _CUARTEL_. THE ANARCOCOMUNIST OF PLM, 1900-1930

Abstract

The Liberal Mexican Party (PLM) was an organization which at the beginning
adopted radical, liberal ideas, but later it became anarchist – communist. Its
preeminence took place between 1900 and 1930, at the same time that many important
societies lived similar problems caused by the radicalism. The article emphasizes the
relations the PLM had with other countries beyond the border. It analyzes how not
only did the “magonistas” (Ricardo Flores Magón’s supporters) know about
politicians and political dynamics in the United States and Mexico, but they also
knew that any transformation of the society in Mexico depended on the changes in
the USA. Furthermore, this transformation should be worldwide, a world social
revolution that ought to be actively driven by individuals. That is why they planned
to become activists beyond the borders, this is internationally.
