"I say, where is Emiliano Zapata when you need him? Where is Poncho Villa? Where are the leaders of the people, who will defend them against the careless, endless abuses of the generales in ciudad Mexico?"
One could say as much for the U.S.
I totally agree with that article. And that is also true not only in Mexico, but in many countries south of the border. The Revolutions which freed Latin American nations from Spain, did not free them fom the Spanish Europeans who concentrate power and wealth in their hands while they exploit the masses of their own people.
Even in the anti-Bellum American South, was not such a vast numerical disaprity between the ruling class and the social uunderclass as that which exists in Mexico and most South American Countries.
I think Argentina is an exception as the number of European Argentines is quiet high and the number of native American, black and Mestizo Argentines is relatively low.
It may also not be the case in Brazil, which, technically at any rate, is not an Hispanic American country anyway.
This is a very interesting link that rings very true. I believe that one related reason the U.S. is allowing illegal immigration unabated is that shortly after sealing the borders, revolution would ensue in Mexico, and the govt. is all too aware of all the illegals coming across with Che Guevera T-shirts on.
There is no land richer in natural resources and potential year-round agricultural bounty and more laden with corruption than Mexico.
