“PRECEDENT TO A REVOLUTION: THE FLORES MAGÓN BROTHERS”

Flores Magon brothers were very important part of the revolution, from the journalistic side since in 1893 the three collaborated in the edition of the newspaper The Democrat, Jesus as editor, Ricardo as a proofreader and as an assistant Enrique printing and writing. This was the only newspaper of the time attacking the then president Porfirio Diaz and which were seized Jesus and other collaborators, Ricardo managed to escape disguised as a printer, Enrique who was only 16 years he was not arrested. After nine months Jesus was released.

From 1900 increase its political and journalistic activity, founded the newspaper Regeneration and

Likewise, there are scholars co-opted by governments post-revolutionaries, who insist to estulticiaen the magonismo was the culminating expression of Mexican liberalism, and that their approaches were wisely interpreted porlos executioners of the revolution and enshrined in the Constitution, supposedly governing the social life of the inhabitants of the earth mexicana.Desde our view, none of these interpretations takes encuenta native folk roots, important and propiodel magonismo.

What should be clear is that the revolution sought by magonistas was total, radical, so very different to what has been called "Mexican Revolution". Therefore, the magonismo is not its precursor, because they were fighting for the same thing, nor the life of magonismo dropped only until before 1910, to be its antecedent: the magonismo was opponent of Porfirio Diaz but also the maderismo, the carrancismo, the
