Mexico: the birth of a Narco-State

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

In the case of Mexico, I feel it's wrong to categorize it as a "narco-state" in the classic sense. Rather than the cartels and ellicit industry co-opting the institutions of the state, it has largely been the other way around - with the pre-existing institutions and power blocs co-opting the cartels and using them and their consequences towards their own devices. Cartels were integrated into aspects of the state (unofficially, of course) - they did not corrupt what was already corrupted.

[@ericktellez7632]

It applies more to the meaning of “state” as in a region in a country, Mexico just like the US is formed by semi independent states, there are states that are controlled by cartels but not the entire country nor the majority of states are in that situation.

[@kevinandreszaletaandrade4461]

It is, I'm Mexican and the municipal president of my city is well known to work with the regional cartel, as a matter of fact he just lost an election and what a coincidence the cartel began blackmailing more than usual (they hanged some bodies from a bridge 500m from goberment office) also the police started detaining lots of people with no cause and asking for money (I was one of them, had to pay 3 thousand pesos, Wich is around 15 days of work for a working class Mexican)

[@ZeekHusky]

It’s a Narco State

[@vaclevsta]

You're right, but the end result is the same. The Mexican government simply doesn't have the resources or the manpower to stop the cartels even if they wanted to, even with significant help from the US. The best they can hope to do is prevent cartel violence from destroying the legitimate economy or harming innocent civilians. They've done a pretty good job on the first count, but obviously have fallen disastrously short in protecting human life and only made matters worse by haphazardly deploying the army.

[@robertwest4157]

Im mexican and if we arent a failed narco state we are well on our way to it.

[@autumnleaves7907]

Worth noting as well, the ex military guys who would later defect and form the Zetas, recieved hardware and extensive training from U.S. special forces, to help them crush the Zapatistas. The Zapatistas were (and are? I think they're still around) a militant group who's goal was to instigate a revolution against the rise of neo liberalism that was sweeping through Mexico in the 90s (particularly in reaction to NAFTA).

[@alexacosta2140]

Mexican citizen here: The entirety of Mexico’s problems can be traced back to two events in the 20th century. 1. In the 1920’s the Mexican institutional revolutionary party made it punishable by death to criticize the government. 2. In the 1970’s they confiscated weapons from the civilian population. Essentially the people of Mexico cannot openly critique and improve their government and are also completely defenseless so anything the government says, goes. Keep in mind, there is no power at the local level… all police and officials can be bribed/blackmailed by federal authorities who are owned by cartels. The Mexican government claims to offer help to local people by sending federal troops but the people know once those troops arrive in their state, they will never leave. In conclusion, the Mexican government is a badly administered authoritarian regime that the people don’t trust and because people don’t trust the authorities anymore, criminals consolidate power at the local level. The Mexican government complains that they offer help but no one takes it. No one takes it because no one trust the government in Mexico. Last time the government offered help to Mexicans they devalued the peso and made millions worth nothing. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans who had their life savings in the peso became poor over night and were forced to use the new peso. As you can see, the history of Mexico is one of a socialist government continuously abusing peoples basic human rights, which is why people trust criminals more than authorities. A natural consequence of communism/socialism.

One point I feel you could have emphasised more is the efforts by civilians to combat (figuratively AND literally) corruption and cartel terror in the nation. From the Zapatistas (a quasi-state formed by anarcho-communist rebels in Chiapas) who actively save communities and fight against the cartels, to the story of Cheran (where citizens, tired of a useless govt and violent crimes, rose up and have effectively created their own free city-state), to the legendary tale of Don Alejo, who fought to the death against an entire squad of cartel members in a last stand for the ages. Mexico might be a narco-state under the thumb of the USA, the influence of cartels, and the idiocy of corrupt officials; but the citizens don’t want it to be - and they’re fighting back hard.

That is not even close to what Feudalism means.

Send US Army to Mexico to fight against the Drug Cartel directly and then lawyers from Justice Department teach Mexican officials to how resist corruption through a better judicial system.

[@Alexrocks1253]

I wouldn't be surprised if the government collapsed and Mexico split up into warring states. It's sad, but the instability I have heard and seen from that country points towards that future. I wonder what would have happened if the US annexed all of it during the Mexican-American War instead of the top 3rd? Would it be more stable? Less stable? In a puzzling state like Puerto Rico? Edit: thanks for the corrections in the comments. I hope Mario Lecto International makes another video that’s more balanced. It’s hard to come up with unbiased things these days.

You are a prime example of biased, we are not some central african country, what you “heard” is what you saw in some movie about cartels, we are not unstable we are just poor.

@@ericktellez7632 how much of the country is under full government control? Just curious. I know some parts are safe, I’ve visited many times and even lived in Monterrey for 1.5 years, but some others I’ve heard are run by cartels.

@@Alexrocks1253 the media makes the situation seem worse then it actually is. Iy's similar to the US gang violence it increased when economic conditions worsened(neoliberalism/NAFTA)during the late 80s 90s and 2000s Slowly recovering because of the economic policies this new government is doing during that whole period formers most were peasants were forced forced to migrate to the US or join the narcos and the war on drugs in 2006 made it worse that's when cartels started militarizing its going to take a few administrations to close this chapter of our history

Yes! Please help the Mexicans send all those migrants home! The Central Americans are taking over their country. The Mexicans have done their job recolonizing the American south west like their ancestors did before the 13 colonies. 😂

[@blueciffer1653]

@@hallu4696 A wall wouldn't fix the issue. In parts of the US southern border where there is a wall, we've seen people climb over it and tunnel under it, easily. Plus a lot of drugs come by plane and boat too. Putting up a wall in the US/Mexico border is like putting a band-aid on a blown off leg.

[@hallu4696]

@@blueciffer1653 It won’t solve the problem completely by itself but it does drastically reduce how many foreigners get in illegally. The reason so many get in despite such things is because of the intentional and unintentional incentives for foreigners to illegally enter that the federal government, some state governments, and corporations provide. Now before you say anything it is the establishment of both parties which are responsible for this not just the left even though they are certainly the most obvious punching bag. If we had a nation run by leaders who actually cared about the people then they would do more than just put up some glorified fences and occasionally allow ICE to deport those who cross but instead things are what they are.
