It may seem that the events of Arizona have nothing in common with these two nineteenth century thinkers, but that’s the point they keep missing in Arizona, isn’t it? Or, put another way, perhaps that’s the connection they have gone to great lengths to bury; they want to ensure that no teacher or student ever makes such a connection within Mexican-American Studies! Such classes, sadly, may be defunct now, but valuable ideas are not so easily eliminated: as Dr. King noted, “Truth crushed to earth will rise again!” Historically speaking, if we take the long view, the Arizona Legislators still remain on a collision course with the predictions of Marx and Engels. None of their little bigoted temper tantrums in the state legislature will change this truth one iota. Wait and see!
