Weeks after the Mexican elections the mass
movement against electoral fraud is giving no sign of receding. On the
contrary, it is spreading and becoming stronger with each passing day. The
situation in Oaxaca
is of revolutionary proportions. The workers and peasants could actually take
power. Revolution has reached the very borders of the most powerful capitalist
country in the world, the USA.
The Mexican bourgeoisie is determined to get its man declared as President of the country. The masses are equally determined to stop this blatant electoral fraud. In some areas of Mexico an openly insurrectionary mood is developing and the struggle is going well beyond the question of the ballot recount. Revolution is brewing throughout the country.
On Friday July 21st, 40
comrades of Militante, the Mexican section of the International Marxist
Tendency, gathered at the house of that great martyr of the working class, Leon
Trotsky, to say goodbye to one of the great revolutionaries who, like the
classical Marxists dedicated his life to the revolution: Ted Grant.
