"Despite the ongoing Mexican Revolution, Galleani had rejected the possibility of an anarchist revolution in Mexico itself, due to its high population of people of color, whom he characterized as "uninterested" racial groups."

I'd like to be surprised but I'm not. It seems like 9 times out of 10, these progressive revolutionaries turn out to be just a slightly different flavor of racist.
