workingclasshistory:

On this day, 9 May 1911, Tijuana, Mexico was liberated from the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz by the anarchist Mexican Liberal Party (PLM) during the Mexican revolution. Lower California was by this point almost entirely in their hands. They issued a manifesto encouraging people to “take possession of the land…make a free and happy life without masters or tyrants”. Government troops retook the new communal territories in June, arresting PLM leaders including brothers, Enrico and Ricardo Flores Magón, and executing many workers and peasants.
