From AnthroSource
Autogestión (self-management), has been a popular articulation of radical politics since its emergence in the 1960s. This article examines how Mexico City's anarcho-punk scene transformed autogestión in the 1990s from an anarcho-syndicalist principle into a unique ethical practice detached from industrial material production. It was then popularized and made more mainstream through university rock festivals. As these were Zapatista benefit concerts, autogestión became inadvertently attached to Zapatismo and detached from anarchism and punk. This history is a crucial one for understanding the political development of an entire generation of the political left in Mexico City who were young in the 1990s.

Hi Compañeres.
We are in good health and your community work continues in kaos and consolidating social fabric.
We are a small group of allies and like-minded people. We turn to you with the intention of organizing and expanding the distribution network of the calendar project that we do annually and helps us have a collective economic fund.
From Anarquía English translation by Anarchist News
We are anarchists. We repudiate that the Mexican police dared to use the name of Ricardo Flores Magón, who we consider to be an important reference point of internationalist anarchist struggle and who detested all forms of government during his life, to name a police station of the repressive police of Mexico City. We warn you that we will burn this station over and over until they stop tarnishing his name in such an opprobrious manner.

Report from Mexico City on May Day, as various anarchist and autonomous groups and initiatives take the streets.
In Mexico City, a city where the revolutionary tradition of Flores Magon, Zapata, and Villa is alive and well, there were countless celebrations of May Day. Leaving aside the sparsely attended marches organized by Stalinists or the large glum parades led by bureaucratic unions and top-down clientelist “social movements” controlled by the ruling political party Morena, there were at least three marches that had notable participation from autonomist, anarchist or anti-state communist sectors, all of which converged in the Zocolo, the central plaza of the city.
