     It is known that the Mexican people are in a state of armed Revolution since four years ago, but very little is known about the nature of the gigantic movement, due to the fact that the capitalistic press tries to confuse through different means the minds of its readers, pretending that all the trouble there lies in useless quarrels of leaders, a conflict between spurious ambitions, whose only object is to strive for the Presidency of the Republic.      Nevertheless, as time flies away the truth is by and by illuminating the doings that occur to the South of the Rio Grande. Those doings prove that the movement developing in Mexico is not the result of the clash of petty passions, but a social phenomena produced by the antagonism of the interests of the two classes in which capitalist system has humanity divided, that of the rich and that of the poor, that of the well-fed and that of the starving, that of the proprietors and that of  the proletaria...

      Companions:      The old society, the unjust and cruel society that condemns those who work and sweat to all kinds of deprivation, and that rewards the laziness of a few with all the pleasures of life;  this corrupt society that cannot and does not want to guarantee well-being and freedom to all human beings;  This society is crumbling, this society is collapsing, this society is about to disappear;  But now dying, it still has the strength to tear from our ranks, from the ranks of the poor, those brave ones who have made the greatest efforts to overthrow it.      Raúl Palma is a worker, he is disinherited, he is a proletarian who understands that every human being, by the mere fact of coming to life, has the right to satisfy all his needs, and this simple principle of social justice, of human justice , he propagated it relentlessly, in the press, on the platform, everywhere, eager to see his class brothers free from chai...

 Comrades:      Apostles of pacifism; believers of the political action of the proletariat, as the best means to achieve economic emancipation, turn your eyes to Chicago, where four black ditches, in the ground, keep the remains of four martyrs, whose silence is eloquent testimony that  Justice will groan in chains as long as the weapon in the hand of each worker does not shine, and this formidable feeling does not boil in the robust breasts: Rebellion!      The four graves where Spies, Engel, Fisher and Parsons sleep proclaim this truth: "reason must arm itself"; and this other "violence against violence."      Do not cross your arms: do not ask. Asking is the crime of the humble: that is why he is killed! If you have to be killed for asking, it is better to take!      Listen to what those four tombs tell you: “Here we keep the remains of the best of yours. Here, in our dark entrails, sleep four generous men who drea...

     Without pretending to be infallible, we are sure to arrive at the right time. Yesterday would have been too early; tomorrow, maybe, too late.      So here we are, in the middle of our hour, ready to follow the path that we have traced for ourselves to its ultimate consequences; to channel the social action of women, giving her a new vision of things, preventing her sensitivity and her brain from being contaminated by male errors. And we understand by male errors all current concepts of relationship and coexistence; masculine errors, because we energetically reject all responsibility in the historical evolution, in which the woman has never been an actor, but an obligated and defenseless witness.      This is not a recrimination for anyone; If the entire past of ignominy in which we were plunged hurts us, we do not dare to think, however, that it could be otherwise; We know that Humanity is making its way at the expense of its own pain an...

Comrades:      Revolution approaches! With angered eyes, and flaming hair, her trembling hands knock anxiously on the doors of our nation. Let us welcome her with serenity, for although she carries death in her breast, she is the announcement of life, the herald of hope. She will destroy and create at the same time; she will raze and build. Her fists are the invincible fists of a people in rebellion. She does not offer roses or caresses; she offers an axe and a torch.      Interrupting the millennial feast of the content, sedition raises her head, and the prophecy of Balthasar has with time become a clenched fist hanging over the heads of the so-called ruling class. Revolution approaches! Her mission will ignite the flames in which privilege and injustice will burn. Compañeras, do not fear the revolution. You constitute one-half of the human species and what affects humanity affects you as an integral part of it. If men are slaves, you are too. Bondage does...

          Before sixteen million inhabitants, the dictatorship has run over guarantees, violated rights and outraged citizens. With savage cruelty he has torn apart the independent press, the only remaining manifestation of freedom, he has filled the jails with honest citizens, he has started workshops, he has seized property and  has not respected even the inviolable of the home ... You are incapable of developing your citizens, that is why we do it, because you are incapable of defending your freedom, that is why we have come to defend it for our children, for posterity to whom we do not want to leave only the stain of our ignominious cowardice. Because you do not use your rights, we come to use ours, so that at least it is clear that not everything was abjection and servility in our time. From "Vesped" May 15 1903           For the rest, we do not dispute the point: if there are such men of divine origin on earth, let t...
