In our continuing work of bringing the Northern Mexican Insurgency together, both in the Republic and in Aztlan, we wish to make arguements to each component of that insurgency on behalf of the other. Specifically, we wish to argue in support of the socialist element to the insurgency in Aztlan, and we wish to argue on behalf of those seeking liberation of Aztlan to the socialist element. By means of our specific proposals, we seek to stimulate the construction and development of a common political framework equally valid to both components of the Northern Mexican Insurgency.
The specific proposals presented here focus on the common theme of transition: struggling for achievement of a transitional situation within which further struggle can be peacefully carried on, as the barriers to the pacification of the struggle have been removed by the struggle to achieve that transitional situation.
The national liberation of Mexico as a transition to socialism has been spoken of by us and by others: suffice to say that, for socialists, national liberation is understood not to be a final solution, but a transition to a solution to the problems facing Mexico as well as other countries and societies (we in the CCDN/FVLN use the South African national liberation as an example).
A similar argument can be advanced for the national liberation as applied to Aztlan: to the analysis above must be added the special case of occupied territory, in which a majority legitimate that occupation. Although there are juridical similarities between Aztlan and the former German Democratic Republic, the struggle to reunite it with the Federal Republic of Germany was hardly necessary, once Soviet resistance evaporated: we in Aztlan, on the other hand, can expect protracted resistence from US unionists both inside and outside Aztlan, which is precisely why the Northern Irish example is of such interest to us: we could expand on the juridical concepts evolved in that struggle.
Specifically, what we need is: a) amendment of the Mexican Constitution (as we have proposed to the Constitutional Convention) to include language which returns Mexico to its modern origins in 1810 (parallel to our work to return the Republic to its Revolutionary origins of 1910); b) clauses in the Mexican Constutution for the (re)admission of states to the Mexican Federation; c) a prefiguring of the kind of government we seek in Mexico in the Provisional Government of Aztlan. This last, as with the above, flows from our analysis of Mexican society in transition, and would include: a) two legislative bodies, a Democratic Congress of Aztlan, and an Indigenous Congress of Aztlan (components of the CND and CNI, respectively); b) the regeneration of the Provisional Government as an executive body, the State Council of Aztlan; c) foundation of a judicial body, the Supreme Revolutionary Tribunal of Aztlan; d) readying the Aztlan National (Liberation) Guard (from which could be drawn the Aztlan National Liberation Army, if necessary) for the coming struggle.
It is our hope that these proposals will prove of interest to those who struggle in common with us for liberty, justice, democracy, and human rights in Mexico, both in the Republic and in Aztlan, and, as such, that they have contributed to the integration of our common struggle.
