Announcing puntorojo
Puntorojo is a digital magazine that publishes voices and viewpoints of Mexicanx, Chicanx, Latinx, transborder and transnational radicals. This includes workers, scholars, activists, artivists, historians, and other commentators whose historical experiences and perspectives are shaped by the effects of U.S. imperialist intervention and domination across the Americas, and resistance to all oppressive aspects of capitalism and imperialism that manifest in daily life. This struggle—the class struggle—is reaching a turning point. We are in an epoch of global crisis, conflict, reaction, and potential transformation.
The working classes and oppressed peoples across the Americas are in motion against the destructive and exploitative economic system of capitalism and the political forces that maintain it internationally. This arrangement, referred to here as imperialism, is administered by the US state and its ruling class allies and enforcers across the region. It promotes and props up corrupt dictatorships and fascist regimes that uphold Its objectives, while also attempting to overthrow non-compliant governments through coup, invasion, economic blockade and sabotage, and by giving direct material support to reactionary opposition groups and movements.
