(San Antonio Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, 1873 - Leavenworth, Kansas, 1922) Mexican politician and journalist who is considered a precursor of the Mexican Revolution. His figure has remained as that of one of the most upright fighters and consistent with the cause of the workers during the times of the Revolution. Indefatigable and indefatigable, his thought and his struggle inspired many of the workers' conquests and some rights that would be included in the Mexican constitution.
The son of Indigenous parents, Ricardo Flores Magón studied law at the University of Mexico. In 1892 he was arrested along with his brother Jesús de him during a student protest against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. After collaborating with the short-lived daily El Demócrata, he founded with his brother the newspaper Regeneración, whose first issue appeared on August 7, 1900 and from whose pages the Porfiriato was permanently lashed out.
Harassed by the government, he had to go into exile in the United States in 1904. In the city of Saint Louis (Missouri), he founded in 1906 the Mexican Liberal Party, of socialist/anarchist ideology, claiming a revolutionary program of state interventionism. He demanded the eight-hour day, Sunday rest and the distribution of land to the peasants, with which his ideas had repercussions on the Mexican labor movement. Closer and closer to anarchist socialism, his party was behind the strikes in the mining town of Cananea and the Rio Blanco industrial zone in Veracruz (1906-1907), violently repressed by the Díaz regime.
After the outbreak in 1910 of the revolution that would force Porfirio Díaz to resign, in 1911 he promoted the insurrection in Baja California with his brother Enrique. They came to take the cities of Mexicali and Tijuana and tried, without success, to found a socialist republic. Lacking aid, they were defeated by government troops and had to retreat to the United States. Convinced that the governments were to blame for the oppression of the working class, they continued to fight the rulers who, during the turbulent period of the Mexican Revolution, succeeded Díaz: Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza.
President Francisco Madero sought his help, but Flores refused to collaborate with the bourgeois revolution. Many of his claims were admitted in the Congress of Querétaro (1917). In 1918 he drew up a manifesto addressed to anarchists around the world, for which he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the American authorities. After suffering a cruel and ruthless prison regime, he died almost blind on November 20, 1922, in Leavenworth (Kansas) penitentiary.

Man, I kinda wanna become one of those old timey candy makers just so I can make like proper spice candy thats just like a nice regular cinnamon or clove candy, stuff like that.
Everything over here is either mega sweet, really sour, or its just licorice(not that I hate licorice but ive potentially got blood pressure issues). If you want like a cinnamon hard candy your options are all just mega atomic buttfucker novelty candy that they sell in individual packs cause its literally just eaten as a dare. I got gifted some spice candy with cinnamon and clove variants from over the channel and they were absolutely heavenly in comparison.
Even the "If you eat this candy it cures cancer" type alternative medicine stores exclusively do like flowers and berry flavors, personally if I was into that stuff I would find it more credible if my medicinal candy tasted spicy and sorta hurt but not to a comical degree.
Ricola cough drops are basically this. But yeah everything has artificial flavors and sucks. Cheaper to make that way. The good shit is in immigrant stores. Pistachio and rose Turkish delight etc
You can make simple, heavily spiced, and very tasty candy with crushed nuts! Esp. cinnamon and cloves go really nicely.
Crush or finely chop up 1/4-1/2 c of walnuts or pecans. Toast them in a small skillet over low-medium heat and dust with spices of choice. Once nuts are beginning to toast (~1 minute), begin to drizzle maple syrup, honey, or thick simple syrup. Quickly stir as the syrup is added and add more spices. You can stir to combine and let the sugar set in or cook it down for more of a caramel.
Optionally, you can add 1-2 TBSP of a neutral oil like grapeseed or coconut oil to the pan and infuse fat soluble spices like whole coriander or black pepper.
If I'm feeling extra fancy, I stuff dates with this mixture and 2-3 is a good light lunch!
Cleanup can be really tough if you aren't vigilant while doing so, but making candy is pretty doable at home.
