Carranza's crowning achievement came in that same year, with the signing of the Constitution of 1917. On paper, it was progressive. Land reform, limits on church power, labor protections. But to many revolutionaries, including Magón, this wasn't the revolution fulfilled. Far from it. It was a revolution managed. Their wildest dreams trimmed down to a policy.

But what happened to the revolutionaries? Zapata was still fighting for land in the south, but Carranza would assassinate him by 1919.

Magón was imprisoned in the USA, denouncing the betrayal from behind bars. Workers were still struggling for real power in their workplaces, and the vast majority of rural Mexicans remained poor, dispossessed, and disillusioned.

In case you're wondering what happened to McGon, in 1916, he was jailed in the US until a group of exiled anarchists led by Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman paid his bond. Now that feels like a cameo or crossover episode of some kind, right?

And then in 1917, the year of the new constitution, he was back in jail again for speaking out against the first world war and calling for a social revolutionary war instead. He was sentenced to 20 years and his health deteriorated steadily. He wasn't a fan of Carranza at all. He called him a strikebreaker, an assassin, and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

But when it comes to the intervention of the state after being compelled from the people, the money would only burn my hands and fill my heart with remorse. End quote. So long story short, he didn't accept the money. When the US said they might let him go if he said sorry and petitioned for a pardon, he said in many words, hell no. Among his more beautiful words, he said, quote, repentance.
