Before Magón, before the revolution, when a Greek emigre named Plotino Reconati arrived in the 1860s, convinced that Mexico's indigenous communal traditions could form the basis for a new anarchist society. Through schools, pamphlets, and mutual aid societies, he helped sow the first seeds of anarchist thought on Mexican soil.

Some of his students pushed even further and flirted with many burgeoning streams of anarchism, even as Porfirio Diaz's regime clamped down on anything that challenged his drive for order and progress. Rudacanati faded from view and many of his students and associates had to go underground for a time, but the ideas would live on, like quiet sparks awaiting for the next revolt.

And the next revolt would come in 1910, when the Mexican Revolution erupted. But keep in mind the context here. When we talk about revolutions, the focus tends to be on the flashpoints, the gunfire, the slogans, the major figures.

We have to keep in mind the revolutions have roots that run deep, run deep below the surface. The revolutions are often shaped by decades or centuries of injustice. And Mexico's revolution was no exception. Because for over three decades, Porfirio Diaz ruled Mexico with what was basically a velvet glove over an iron fist.
