Ricardo Flores-Magon was born september 16, 1873 in San Antonio 
Eloxochitlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. He dedicated his life to the causes of 
freedom and social change to favor the poor in Mexico. In that struggle 
he became an anarchist, and advocated for the elimination of capitalism 
and the state. He was a revolutionary writer and journalist. 
Flores-Magon spent a significant amount of his life in prison and died, 
probably murdered, in a prison in the United States, Leavenworth, 
Kansas. He died november 21, 1922.

Following the concept that a "dead anarchist is a good anarchist," the 
current progressive president of Mexico, Manuel Lopez Obrador, declared 
2022 "the year of Flores Magon." At this event we will analyze his work 
and ideas from a revolutionary perspective and see how those ideas 
impact us today.
