@PrinceWakaFG Gave up on this series because I couldn't beat this guy. Looked up a video on YouTube of someone beating him and they were doing this and decided it was all way too much for me
She refused to go and testify, the penalty to which can be prison time without a known end date. Topete is a hero who stood with the people and the movement at a potentially huge cost to herself and her freedom.

Conor Cauley was sentenced to 60 days with time served, 3 years of probation, court fines, 150 community service hours and a stay away order from the same officer, Officer Aliaga Ruiz, who threw him over a row of chairs!

@totalnewbie1@WxPolitics15 The Whiskey Rebellion by Hogeland is really great and makes a connection between it and the French Revolution. There are at least a few pamphlets by members of the Democrat-Republican and True Republican movements after 1798 which profess really utopian kind of world views
@_circuitry Right but the War of 1812 partially settled that question for the US which is one of the truly revolutionary aspects I really like Charles Sellers The Market Revolution which talks about this. Idk much about weapons or what they have to do with it what's up with that?
@_circuitry Way after the fact though when they were already under the grip of US imperialism is the problem. The US had already accomplished a lot of this by the time Mexico gained independence. People need to reckon with the fact that the US had a serious revolutionary process
@xaviercarranc@UserAvendanoMan https://t.co/leZvBlAWY0 for context this is the realm of ideas I'm coming from and again my point isn't Mexico bad I actually think Mexico is interesting and think it will play a major role in the development of our hemisphere but I think the US pessimism is counterproductive
@xaviercarranc@UserAvendanoMan Sure and most importantly the reactionary landowners were only taken down a peg (and only a peg) after a century of independence
@_circuitry Right unlike US who struggled through War of 1812 was able to gain a higher position relative to Britain, had the Market Revolution, industrialized, was able to defeat the reactionary landowner classes who dominated, agricultural revolution and more
@dogjobsdotcom That' the era afterwards but does explain Mexico's continued stagnation and the dynamics of the Mexican Revolution, my point is more so that US war of Independence with a view to Jefferson era built the US into a capitalist country, Mexico was less successful at doing that
@UserAvendanoMan I actually think it's fine to point the finger at the US for most of the history even before US imperialism I just think people undersell what 1776-1876 was for the US
@dist_overtime@Choppedworld Partially true but I think colonialism, its legacy, and imperialism obviously really screwed that up for most, Japan had a good setup to grow very quickly obviously. I maintain France was bad at capitalism and was never going to be top dog
@dist_overtime@Choppedworld@friendinrussian For sure, there is the other side of it though where you need a proletariat which is something that the US was able to create, and Mexico floundered on for a long time after their revolutions which I think is the real bone of contention in this
@dist_overtime@Choppedworld@friendinrussian We do live in an interesting time though, we'll see how Germany and Europe fare in the future, while I can see countries like Mexico achieving greater success, I'm mostly speaking historically etc
@dist_overtime@Choppedworld@friendinrussian Sure but they were an early and very successful adopter, had fewer hurdles, etc hence why they're more powerful than Mexico despite being a smaller and less resource rich country
@dist_overtime@Choppedworld@friendinrussian That's exactly my point, Germany wasn't even a unified state during the era of primitive accumulation and did not have major colonial holdings in that era and yet completely overtook Spain who held the most extensive colonial holdings for centuries
@Aureal_Sigrun@Choppedworld@friendinrussian Right. Granted the US also had its powerful landowner class to overcome not long afterwards! Famously the invasion exacerbated the contradiction. The capitalistic nature of the Yankee north from relatively early on is a major difference between the two countries
