Ricardo Flores Magón

Ricardo Flores Magón (1874-1922) was a Mexican political activist, journalist, and writer, known for his role in the early stages of the Mexican Revolution. He advocated for radical reforms, including land redistribution and workers' rights, through his newspaper “Regeneración.” Magón's ideas were driven by anarchism and a strong belief in social justice, challenging the oppressive regimes of his time. He was arrested multiple times for his activism and spent years in exile in the United States. His influence extended beyond Mexico, inspiring labor movements and socialists worldwide, marking him as a significant figure in early 20th-century social change.
