Mexico was also a recent revolutionary state and its 1917 Constitution, the first in the world to guarantee social rights, inspired the Soviet Constitution of 1918.
MEXICO’S ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY WITH THE USSR
The anti-fascist struggle of the Mexican people is usually associated firstly with the solidarity shown to Republican Spain during the National Revolutionary War (1936-39). This is due both to the reception of Spanish exiles by the Lázaro Cárdenas government and to the participation of Mexicans in the International Brigades and the active anti-fascist propaganda carried out by organizations such as the Communist Party of Mexico (PCM), the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), and the League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists (LEAR), which published the magazine Frente a Frente.
However, solidarity with the Spanish people was only one of the episodes of proletarian internationalism carried out by Mexican workers in support of the peoples who were victims of fascism. Mexico also received exiles from other countries, which fostered the activity of anti-fascist organizations such as Free Germany, Free Hungary, Free Yugoslavia, and the Free Greece Movement, among others. Likewise, the Mexican people expressed their solidarity with the Soviet people, who played a crucial role in the global anti-fascist struggle during the Great Patriotic War.
It was in Mexico that Fidel Castro and Che Guevara planned the first steps of the Cuban Revolution, and the place were these dissident communists sailed to retake their country. Honestly, Lázaro Cárdenas should be studied in International Affairs and Geopolitics all over the world. Until 2018, he was both the best and the only leftist president of contemporary Mexico.
