DuBois, Frederick Douglass, along with communist organizers, feminist radicals and others, and we see it all through the eyes of the Mexican Revolution and find out how profound his effect was on the entire planet. And in her book, she brings the voice of W.E.B. Ropes that bind those in oppression that tie us together and hold together the capitalist’s world and it’s bound in ways we don’t often think about. All connecting the oppression of Jim Crow, indigenous peasants, Filipino workers, and as she wrote the interlocking universe of exploitation, and oppression. That to this day is called the Day of Martyrs of Chicago in Mexico. That led to the Haymarket Rebellion and the birth of Mayday that became the international workers’ cry for justice. Indigenous workers who fought back in Mexico in the Philippines rope made that lynch black people here in America, rope made by International Harvester that turned indigenous land into capitalist farms. She makes the connections between the fiber grown workers exploited to make the rope in the west. Yes ropes, 13 simple twists that make a noose out of a rope, a noose to lynch and to kill.

Now we’re going to start by looking at the beginning of the book about ropes. We’re going to do it by looking at history because sometimes you have to dive into history, wrestle with what it says about the present. We’re going to grapple with how we build a movement, how we deal with the oppression faced by many, how we address the growing tide of neo fascism here and across the globe, and how we bring this diverse grouping of the left progressives together to the future. I’m Marc Steiner, and it’s great to have you all with us.

Despite its potent effect on contemporary revolutionaries, the Mexican Revolution’s legacy has gone somewhat unrecognized today, particularly within the US.

The Mexican Revolution rippled throughout the world, influencing radical politics from Chicago to Moscow. From 1910-1920, armed peasants and workers reshaped Mexico in a democratic and agrarian revolution.
