Re: [Marxism] massacre by Texas Rangers

[Erik Toren <ectoren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Comrades:

For those of us Chicanos who know our history nothing new. Los Rinches were
used also breaking strikes in the '60's against the UFW in Starr County and
in other labor actions. I highly recommend "Anglos and Mexicans: In the
Making of Texas, 1836-1986."

por el socialismo,
Erik Toren
