Summary
The origins of Mexican syndicalism and socialism are rooted in the pre-Columbian, Spanish, and post-conquest working-class experiences that came together beginning in the sixteenth century and then evolved from that base during the era of the Industrial Revolution (1780–2000). The movement has emerged from its early beginnings within one of the world’s most beleaguered working-class experiences into one that is now powerful enough to politically manage the nation and is capable of creating a more just social democratic society.
