The Mexican government introduces its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. An equivalent bar from a foreign multinational is about $6USD. Made of 50% cocoa, cane sugar, cocoa butter, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings or colouring

It's easier to produce ethical chocolate than to try to kick the CIA out of a country.

We don't want to pay 114 pesos for a high quality chocolate bar that fucks over cocoa producers. Now you can choose!

Small and collective producers in Chiapas and Tabasco sell their dried and fermented cacoa to the government at above market rates, then the state makes the chocolate products and sells them in the two government grocers, Tiendas Bienestar and SuperISSSTE.

The state making a product and selling it in a market that also has privately produced products is not "price controls"

If anything says youthful Mexican rebellion it's... an old guy with a Francoist monarchist flag

The bar is sourced from 1,803 producers in Chiapas & Tabasco, cocoa is cultivated via agroforestry. The chocolate can be purchased at Tiendas Bienestar, public grocers which sell products at reduced prices; & SuperISSSTEs, other public grocers that feature reduced prices

We cover a lot of mobilizations that critique the Mexican gov & make significant demands (farmers' strike, teacher's struggle, mining justice, Palestinian solidarity) - they have almost nothing in common w/ yesterday's astro-turf right wing gathering except maybe the march route

Aa number of reasons why chocolate is one of the first state products in state grocery stores: cacoa originated in Mexico, can be sourced from small & cooperative agroecological producers, & its long shelf life makes it a good test for national distribution to remote, rural areas

They would have to visit 27,000 different stores, many in remote areas across the country, to buy the run. I don't know about the economics of that even with a $3 markup

On August 4, 1924 Mexico recognized the Soviet Union, the first country in the Western Hemisphere to do so. Mexico was also a recent revolutionary state and its 1917 Constitution, the first in the world to guarantee social rights, inspired the Soviet Constitution of 1918.

If you want the most concise version of what yesterday's "Gen Z" march in Mexico was, here it is: a rich old fascist begging Donald Trump to get rid of the government.
