This event is being held exactly on the 100th anniversary of the symbolic starting date of one of the most important events in people's history, at least in North America.
November 20, 1910 is the date customarily regarded as the start of the Mexican Revolution, one of the great revolutionary struggles of the 20th Century, even if it resulted in only a limited, partial, victory for the oppressed masses. Why isn't this even mentioned by most of the left groups having events on this centennial day, especially given that the situation in Mexico now is potentially as explosive as it was in 1910?
