    An article about how Mexico became addicted to Coca Cola.

    mexicosolidarity.com COCA COLA CAPITALISM

    The over one-hundred history of Coca Cola in Mexico is intertwined with predatory capitalism, petty gangsterism, neoliberal crisis, monopolies and water shortages. An interview with Bruce Hobson.

    COCA COLA CAPITALISM

    The funniest part is reading about how Vicente Fox was a Coca Cola shill.

    Back in the 1960s, young Coca-Cola truck driver and future president, Vicente Fox Quesada, began a personal campaign to outsell Pepsi. He once openly bragged that he’d punch the tires of Pepsi trucks and remove their bottles before they could be refilled. In a word, years before Mexico’s neoliberal period, Fox was a small-time gangster for Coca-Cola.

    Also:

    Vicente Fox’s financial and political success was enmeshed with the Coca-Cola company — it was said he drank 12 Cokes a day.

    On Thursday, hundreds of thousands in Argentina joined a national strike, bringing industry, transit, and other services to a standstill. The country’s working class is showing the way to fight the Far Right.

    In Argentina, the anger built up for months against austerity and authoritarianism imposed by far-right president Javier Milei was met with a spectacular national strike on Thursday. The strike was widely observed across sectors and the country, despite pressure from the government and the bosses that were trying to intimidate workers.

    The Argentinian mainstream media are now trying to downplay the impact of the strike. Despite the fact that the leadership of the union federation CGT did not organize the action from below, the strike shut down trains, subways, schools, hospitals, and industrial sectors across the country, and more than 300 flights were canceled. It was much stronger than many imagined, and expressed the anger of millions of workers. The action would have been

    Ejidos - Nuevo Megahilo General para el 9 al 13 de Noviembre 2024

    The ejidos and agrarian communities are the form of land tenure that covers most of the surface in the Mexican countryside; these offer important agricultural and livestock production and most of the hills, forest areas, mangroves, coasts, water, mines and various natural attractions are in their lands

    The ejido in Mexico

    Mainly associated with the revolutionary agrarian reform, which projected the agrarian law of 1915 as collective, undivided land that could not be sold or inherited. Throughout the 20th century, its legislation underwent various changes, in accordance with the economic and political projects of the governments in power.

    The key element to understanding the introduction of ejidos in Mexico as an integral part of the laws that followed the Mexican Revolution is the historical context in which the country found itself. Historian Emilio Kouri, in his article “The Invention of the Ejido”, speaks of the ejido as a social result of the Mexican armed struggle that was the
