Mexicans rebelled against their corrupt, dictatorial government in 1910, led by idealistic reformers. The result was the Mexican Revolution, the bloodiest war ever fought in North America. Well over 1 million died and I've read estimates as high as 3 million. The reformers won and the current corrupt mess is the result. I have no confidence that a new revolution will be any less bloody or pointless. This may be as good as it gets.

The Mexican Revolution was the first successful Communist Revolution to occur in the 20th century, happening before the Russian Revolution and before the Spanish Communists' failed effort and the Chinese Communists' successful one. The Mexican government has operated under the principles of Marxism ever since, up to and including today. The Mexican people live with the detritus of a failed economic and political system that they have enabled for the past 90 years. The sweep of Marxism/Communism in the last hundred years has murdered many, many millions around the world. Mexico and the Mexicans will continue to live like turd-worlders until they shed all the trappings of this failed Marxist/Communist ideology and implement free market policies and the rule of law.

Don't hold your breath. At bottom, these people are Aztecs.
