The PLM sought the abolition of the military tribunals, free secular education, workers' rights like the eight-hour workday and minimum wage, and the expropriation of idle lands. In short, it went further than the 1917 constitution that would come a decade later, and it could be seen as the crystallization of many of the Mexican Revolution's most popular aims.

Magon and the PLM established alliances across borders, particularly among the industrial workers of the world. But that put a target on Magon's back for both Mexican and US authorities. You already know they can't be having solidarity like that. The Pinkertons rolled up, backed in part by Diaz himself, and they were on Magon's tail constantly.

Even ended up as far north as Canada, just trying to escape their constant harassment. But despite the repression, their momentum could not be killed. Between 1906 and 1908, the PLM helped organize a string of strikes and uprisings. The most infamous was the Canaia Copper Strike. Mexican miners were paid starvation wages while their American counterparts earned double for the same work.

When the miners struck for fair pay and better conditions, they were met with deadly force. The rebellion that followed saw American rangers and Mexican troops massacre more than 200 people, and thousands were jailed. Another uprising ignited in Rio Blanco, where textile workers, already paid a pittance, organized with the leadership of Jose Niera, a student of Magón.

When negotiations failed and repression ramped up, the workers responded not with another petition, but with insurrection. On January 7, 1907, they stormed the mill, freed prisoners, cut wires, and declared open rebellion. The state responded with a bloodbath. Entire families were dragged from their homes and executed.

Another one of the uprisings was a peasant revolt that began in 1906 in Akayukan and spread through Tuxlas, Minatitlan, and Tabasco. It was crushed, of course. In 1908 in Viescas, though their plans had been leaked to the authorities, revolutionaries had a firefight with police and freed a town jail. Just two days later in Las Vacas, other students of Magón were fighting for justice.

Another set of guerrillas arose in Palomas, but they failed. Yet another insurrection happened in Valle de Olid, Yucatan, and they suffered summary executions. And all those events, all those small revolutionary bands challenging the state, they failed. But they emboldened the dream of a different world with their will to act. McGowan was jailed again in 1907, but it wasn't over for him yet.
