El Hijo del Ahuizote fue un perodico revolucionario que luchó contra la dictadura de Porfirio Diaz en Mexico. La publicación combinó el pensamiento anarquista de Ricardo Flores Magón y su hermano Enrique, con la grafica popular de protesta de Jose Guadalupe Posada para desatar una larga guerra contra el autoritarismo, que despues de que el peridico se ve reprimido y cerrado definitivamente se expresa en otras publicaciones que juntas irían a ayudar a pavimentar el camino hacia la Revolucion Mexicana en 1910.
“Que a sangre y fuego caiga, lo que a sangre y fuego se mantiene.”—Ricardo Flores Magón
El Hijo del Ahuizote was a revolutionary newspaper that fought against Porfirio Diaz’s dictatorship in Mexico. The paper combined the anarchist ideas of Ricardo Flores Magón and his brother Enrique, with Jose Guadalupe Posada’s graphics, to unleash a war against authoritarianism. Founded in 1885, it was shut down and censored multiple times. Even after the paper fell victim to repression, Magón and Posada were involved in other publications that expressed the same unrest and helped pave the road towards the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
“That which is maintained with blood and fire through blood and fire shall fall.”—Ricardo Flores Magón
