Mexican self-defence groups are called "vigilantes". Balance sheet on self-defense action - "Tapachilla queda desolado por miedo y revanche"
Tapachilla is now a ghost town because the villagers fear the extortionists coming back for revenge. nytimes.com Dec 9, 2023 "A clash between gunmen and members of a small farming community in central Mexico has left at least 14 dead... "Dozens of villagers, machetes and hunting rifles in hand, approach the gunmen as discussions get heated. Then the first shots are fired. Some people run. Others chase down the suspected gang members and attack them with machetes." /////////// Is it just me? This part of the theses made me laugh; "We consider the growing drug market not only as a lucrative industry but also as a mechanism of the ruling class, both to provide them with a recreational alternative to their empty way of life based on exploitation and death of the oppressed classes, and also a mechanism to keep poor and working class youth alienated." That is so stalinist and trotskyist. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
