They gave us land

I think before the Mexican revolution that happened in 1910, most of the land was for the single influential ruling class. According to the law there was no serfdom or slavery but those who were heavily indebted, peasants or local wage workers were basically slaves of debts to the owners of the land. A very small ratio of the rich owners of land possessed chunks of the country’s farm land. So many people were severely suppressed; revolution and revolts were common in Mexico.

Land possession in Mexico had over the extended term seen the reassignment of lands into the hands of personal proprietors occupied in agricultural production for income. But there were a lot of social and economic harms that resulted from this concentration of possession and this brought reformist resolutions that tried to turn around this trend. There was land that was named as purchased land.

The rich soils of southern and central Mexico were the home to solid, hierarchically planned, established populations that produced agricultural excess, permitting the development of sectors that did not openly nurture the soil. These inhabitants lived in agreement and held land commonly, although in general they worked in individual plots.

I think that even after a hundred years after the Mexican revolution, it has remained a significant point of reference in the politics of Mexico. The centennial celebrations in Mexico have been presenting congratulatory story, that what was battled for in the revolution has been triumphantly achieved by the governments that have followed. Today, there is a withdrawal from agrarian land reform and a go back to joining of land property of large enterprises.
