Revolution Post #2: La Aristocracia.

Oculta en su ostentosa heredad, la oligarquía gobierna a la sumisa población desconocedora.

Ah, la belle epoque, the arts, the fashion… the complete denial of one’s roots, in favor of the european influence. The complete disregard for fellow humans, in favor of capitalism.

El Porfiriato allowed for the higher classes to exploit the lower ones HARD. The workers were barely paid, what they did make was then taken back by the owners of the land via tiendas de raya, the working coditions were obscenely unsafe; and nothing could be done about it since education was completely denied to them.

It was downright slavery in some places.
