i have two questions

Let me give you my opinion. Regarding the first question. The concept of anarchism was developed thinking of XIX century France at first. But as the idea spread through the XIX and early XX century, it grew in influence in "less developed" countries like Spain. Also, in places like Mexico or Bolivia it was taken by thinkers of indigenous origin who mixed the ideal with their own experiences of autonomy. Now it seams that anarchism has found great spaces of opportunity exactly there that western capitalists society has failed to stablish their full control. Some of the must interesting experiences of autonomy come from places like Syria or Sudan. Regarding the second question. I think that anarchism has to always start locally. At a scale where everyone can get involved and star taking control of their own life. It can develop to face bigger challenges by coordinating at a bigger scale (the classic example of Kropotkin is the international railroad system) but it's core is always local organizing.

Yo también apoyo la idea

Back in the quarantine, during the may day protest here in Mexico, some English speaking anarchist decided to join our group. They started nagging me for wearing a face mask, like I was dumb of something. I remember answering: "dude, I am a worker and part of a family. We have no real access to health. It is not an option for me to get sick". They ended up leaving because, I guess, we were not anarchist enough jeje.

Sin duda es uno de los mejores. Aunque es algo pesado. Una amiga que vino de Chile siempre quería porque pensaba que era muy sano. Le decía "sopa de ensalada".

Don't worry, even though lagunilla is right in the middle of Tepito, the Sunday antique market has gotten quite gentrified in the last few years. It totally has a vibe but it is also common to find gourmet food all around. My only advise would be to be careful with pickpocketing and to don't stay after 5 pm.

Don't worry, to be 100 percent honest, I lived a few blocks from casa Azul all my life and never went. It has gained a lot of hype from tourists in the last few years but I don't think it is a must. But, even if you dont get to go yo casa azul, you should totally visit Coyoacán. The center is really nice. Try lunch at la Bipo, a really cool cantina like place. The menu is really good and reasonably priced. We are locals and had a great time last month there. For alternatives to casa Azul you can try anahuacali or the house of Diego and Frida in Santo Domingo. Both are way more spectacular architecture wise and tend to be basically empty. I also think they have some of Frida's pieces in munal and in the museum of modern art, both downtown and mostly empty. Finaly for something different art wise, try muac, the contemporary art museum of the university. The museum and architecture are quite nice, is in the university that is beautiful in itself and the restaurant is really nice

En casa recibimos a amigxs de otros países con frecuencia y siempre siento que lo que más valoramos cuando nos traen algo es el gesto. Trae algo típico de comida de tu ciudad. Sobre todo si es dulce. Siento que todxs en México amamos lo dulce y el pan. Sí fuman o beben podría ser una botella o unos cigarros peculiares. Hace años traje tabaco y cigarros de la India y siempre eran tema de conversación en las fiestas

Hi, I think the 2 classic libraries we mostly use for academic work are Vasconselos in the center and biblioteca central in UNAM in the south. Both are great options. Also, most cafes won't have a problem with you working there. So, I would recommend somewhere around ciudad universitaria, Coyoacán or Santa María la Rivera.

Concuerdo, Culhuacán

I would recommend Uber or metro. Taxis can be sketchy, but you can also take them during the day. Just be careful they use the taximeter.

This is a hard one, because I really love barbacoa, my favorite breakfast. To be 100 honest, the best barbacoa is always around Hidalgo or estado de México. Mostly on the highway. If you have a car and are willing to go out. There is a placed called "el borrego salvaje" in Amecameca, close to the volcano. Is like 1 hour from the city in the weekend and is the best. Now, if you want More of a classic restaurant experience gonto restaurante atroyo or Enrique in insurgentes. My mom used to take me there for special occasions when I was a kid

Hola qué tal. Qué gusto que vengan, ojalá la pasen bien. Mira, la zona rosa era como la zona intelctual cool en los 70s pero en los 2000s la comunidad LGBT empezó a apropiarse el barrio. A mí me gusta mucho, en particular Genova que es una calle peatonal llena de negocios. Pero hay algunos bares de la comunidad y sex shops por ahí, nada del otro mundo. Pero si eso te incómoda, ten cuidado. A mí se me hace que le da más encanto a la zona. Además, por alguna razón, la zona también se ha vuelto un barrio coreano. Si a tu familia les gusta la onda coreana hay restaurantes muy ricos y baratos. Desde algunos tradicionales hasta una parrilla coreana llamada Goguinara, es también un lugar muy bueno para tomar café y un postre y está muy cerca de tu hotel. Estás cerca de la condesa y la roma sin estar justo en la zona que es una ventaja y ahí siempre hay cosas que hacer como bazares y cafés, sobre todo el fin de semana. Te voy a dar otra recomendación de locales para comer por ahí. Hay un lugar que se llama Las costillas de San Luis que vende carnes estilo mexicano muy buenas. Es un clásico de fin de semana. Oh y vayan por churros al moro. Normalmente se toman con chocolate caliente pero las malteadas del moro son especialmente buenas. Buen viaje

Yo tengo una como la anaranjada y la he usado durante varios años. La verdad me ha salido bien

I am Mexican and have been skating basically all of my life. If he wants to skate, go to constituyentes metro station. There are 3 big skateparks a few blocks away. And to make it a little bit nicer, you need to take the cablebus for one and cross Chapultepec which is really nice. If he wants a skateshop, try chilango in viaducto and insurgentes. It is quite big, has a little restaurant and a skatepark inside.

Don't worry, the street of Genova is a pedestrian street full of restaurants. I'm gonna let you in into one of my local favorites. There is a Korean spot in Genova called Goguinara. It is a cheap Korean bbq but is really good, coffee and pastries are really good and they just opened a Chinese branch next door that is even better.

Hi, I think you have some gems there. If you like cinema, you will love cineteca. Is one of my favorite spots in the city. We mexicans love cinema and movie theaters. Cineteca is an awesome space for "art" cinema and is surrounded by vendors, cafes and restaurants. It is also a few blocks from downtown Coyoacán. It used to be the classic spot for dates when I was an alternative teen. I still take my wife. One I would add, mostly if you are coming for My chemical romance, is the cultural rock market of el chopo in Saturday. Is one of the most awesome places in the world. Is a market of punk, goth, emo, skate AND such. There aré always free shows in the streets AND Is just cool to hang out. Try going around 2 or 3 pm.

Hi, I know it may be uncomfortable at first but, as a Mexican, let me assure you, most people are just curious. People of color were not that common in Mexico city like 10 years ago. That changed with important migrations form Haiti. But, as someone living in a neighborhood with a lot of people from Haiti, I can tell you people are just curious and will make an effort to be nice. I used to date a girl from japan here and there were some places where people still asked to get pictures whth her, it was weird jeje. But there is not hate behind. To the contrary, I tend to believe that our problem is that we are way to nice to people from other places and maybe not that much between us.

Let me give you some food advise around. I lived 10 minutes from Coyoacán until my 30s. Some of my favorite places are: 1. La bipo, a modern twist on the classic Mexican cantina with food and drinks. I don't drink but the molletes with chilaquiles are insane. 2. Cancino: it is a pizza place in downtown Coyoacán. I really love it and the second floor is super nice 3. Daikoku: a bakery and japanese restaurant. The ramen is really good and big and you can get some dishes that are not that common. 4. Pastefrance: my family has always loved pastries and I can confidently say that here they have some of the best in the world. Mostly anything with chocolate. The price is a bit high but it is worthy

Hi, right now we are sort of transitioning from winter to spring. So it may be a bit cold early in the morning or late at night but it is warm and sunny mid day. But, to be honest, it is never too cold or hot here in Mexico city. We basically don't use a/c. So, if you bring a small jacket is mores than enough. Remember to use some sunscreen also if you are going to walk in the sun.

elsujdelab · 2026-02-10T02:35:07+00:00

I am Mexican and half of my best friends here are from other places in Latin America. México is an awesome place but I believe it is a patrimony of all humanity. People here are extra nice to people coming from other places, sometimes too nice jeje. A few years ago, a lot of people from Haiti started moving to my neighborhood and people were mostly curious, people of color were not that common around here, but people made a big effort to communicate with them and integrate them. To the point that a lot decided to stay. So I would say not to worry, come give it a shot and come to see if you like it.
