“Mexicanism is none other than the plurinationalism of North America.”

Theses on Mexicanism, Feminism, and the Indigenous Reconquista:

“Not only must the revolutionary construct a new, plurinationalist history of North America, but he must have a strong grasp of Americanist historiography in order to set it up as the racialist, ‘hygienic’ foil of his own plurinational vision.”

“The Americanist [US patriot] cannot distinguish between the nation travailing to be born, and the prison bars constricting its freedom of development. These things all seem of one piece to the Americanist, as though the prison bars were fused with the very flesh of the people.”

“in the union of indigenous nations under Tecumseh, in the Cuban Revolution, in the Mexican Revolution (the first great revolution of the 20th century) and in the contradictory career of Simón Bolívar, to name only a few examples.“

“The birth pangs of this ‘other’ nation are not found in the ‘revolution’ of 1776, which is nothing other than an adaptation of the system manufactured to repress its birth, but in the slave revolts of North America, in the revolutionary war of Haiti,”

“Revolution is not itself the goal, but rather the midwife of a new society. That society is the goal, and revolution the means.”

“It is our task to identify this nation, to call it by its true name, and to raise up its organizational and ideological superstructure on the already-existing historical and material foundations.“
