Uh, this isn't a great story to tout anarchy. If anything, it's the opposite. basically, there was anarchy and a drug cartel raped (literally) and pillaged them. The town fought back, finally, but at a great cost. They're basically stuck in their town, have to have guards rotating 24/7, their economy is distraught, and are on life support thanks to family members sending money from the US.

Basically, these people had the choice of violent oppression of a drug cartel or land-locking themselves with falling apart economy. This is anarchy failing through and through.

not quite. the government did not help them when they needed it, so they took it into their own hands.

it wasn't anarchy before. they had a government that was useless. you can't say that's anarchy, it's not at all. government was there but it did not enforce the law. instead the people took it upon themselves to enforce the law. true, it sucks, but what can you expect, it's mexico

Sounds to me like they've created what amounts to a gerontocratic city state, as opposed to any sort of anarchy. So long as Mexico doesn't feel the urge to go in and reconquista the place, it will be an interesting experiment.

No, this is a standard anarchistic commune. Becoming quite common again among the indigenes in Mexican and other locations where western-style statism has been an abject failure..

Spider, this is anarchism at work. We are coming to tear down the injustice. You can either be a part of it or you can try to resist progress.
