The Legacy of Ricardo Flores Magón
Channel: Final Straw
Date: 2022-12-04

We just passed the 100th anniversary of the murder by incarceration and hounding of Mexican Revolutionary anarchist communist Ricardo Flores Magón on 21st of November. For this hour or so, I spoke with Mitchell Cowen Verter, co-author of the 2005 AK Press book, Dreams of Freedom: A Ricardo Flores Magon Reader (also free from  archive.org). We talk about RFM’s life, ideas and legacy.

 Apologies for the sound quality, Mitchell was on wifi at a hostel in Cambodia for the conversation.
