"Mexico is a fascist, imperial, racist state." HUH? While I can see defining the older system as "National Capitalist" (a phrase coined by Nobel Prize Winner Octavio Paz Lozada, it's a hard sell to claim Mexico is, or ever has been "fascist" if anything, quite the opposite: it defined it's foreign policy as anti-fascist as early as 1928 -- and refused to recognize the Spanish government during Franco's lifetime). You'd have an even harder time selling "imperial" -- the Aztecs being the last Mexican imperial culture I can name. "Racist" -- in a mixed race society? Please!

It's thoroughly corrupt. That's all we need to know.

Mexico holds a long standing belief that they have sovereign claim over most of North America. As soon as the Spanish gave up their colonies in the New World Mexico declared themselves an Empire and went so far as to fight wars over Texas and Guatemala in a futile attempt to hold those lands. Children in Mexico are still taught that everything between Columbia and Idaho is Mexican land.

As far as racism, the US was mixed race in the 1800's. If you look at Mexican stratification it's clear whites are on top and there's a gradual decline in social status to black who are treated as non-Mexicans in many instances.

Mexico still has a police force run from the central capital terrorizing the other states, made up of people from Mexico City. They still live under Napoleonic Law which means you never have to face a judge to be convicted.

On top of all they, they have traditionally been very close to nationalistic and fascist governments, including the Nazis.
