President Claudia Sheinbaum says Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own, after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican goods.
I am not arguing that it is settler colonial, my argument is that you are behaving as if that means there is no ability to improve and a revolution is impossible, I am saying Cuba is/was just as settler colonial as any nation on the western himisphere, and they were able to pull off a successful revolution. To preclude any progress because it is a nation that is settler colonial means that we can effectivly write off any effort in the western himisphere from ever having a revolution.
Ah sorry I misread. I understand that Mexico, were it to have a revolution similar to Cuba’s, could maintain its borders while flipping its class system on its head leaving it to be in a good position to challenge US imperialism. I don’t think Sheinbaum’s indicative of this kind of change and I think that’s where my confusion came from, there’d need to be a decolonial socialist military movement as was the case in Cuba for this to happen but it could potentially occur.
