Diaz Delende Est, AKA: Friendship is Magic
Joanna stared out the train window as miles upon miles of the Mexican Plateau sped by. She had been born in Puerto Rico, and hadn't left that island even as over two and half decades of political instability wracked both her home and the distant Spain that ruled it. But then a figurative storm in the form of the United States, followed by a literal storm in the form of a pair of hurricanes, had swept over Puerto Rico, leaving Joanna bereft of a husband and a home.
Perhaps it was luck that would see the young woman fall in with the Amigos del Pueblo, instead of dying on the streets of San Juan. Perhaps it was fate. Or perhaps it was the deliberate efforts of the anarchist mutual aid networks, spreading themselves as far and wide as possible in the wake of tragedy where the American government didn't. Nevertheless, Joanna was an eager convert to socialism, and while she didn't have the charisma for organization herself, her skill with a pen, an affinity for bookkeeping, and incorruptibility brought on by the zealotry of the converted were all valuable skills in building up dual power.
All of which is what led to Joanna tearing herself away from the sights she had never before seen to focus back on reviewing the "Invitation to the Liberal Party" with a weary eye for what must have been the hundredth time. She and her comrades in the legions of United Front secretaries, bureaucrats, and organizers had already worked to funnel money towards the most radical in the burgeoning Mexican opposition. However, the invitees to this new anti-Porfirio Diaz party included philosophers, nationalists, and bourgeois of all stripes. A cynical part of Joanna thought these types wouldn't have looked out of place in the regime of another Diaz (well, Diez) that she had grown up under.
Nevertheless, as the train finally pulled into San Luis Potosi and Joanna rolled up the pamphlet, there was still a chance the forces of progress would prevail over the bourgeois in the nascent Mexican Liberal Party. She would even accept the statists over the landlords.
"Or," Joanna thought to herself as a quartet of thugs stumbled out behind her, loudly joking about how the last train they'd been on was being robbed at the time, "the cowboys." The young woman rolled her eyes and lengthened her stride to put the man she was going to be recording the words of at the upcoming meeting between her and the ex-outlaws, pardoned by Governor Elliot only a few months ago. Doctor Escobar, a founder of the Amigos, the one who helped integrate the gang their bodyguards came from into the Amigos, and aforementioned speaker, looked at Joanna with an amused look, before launching into a reassurance. "Don't worry about the Van der Lindes, hermanita. The Spartacists have got them well disciplined, and besides, they've always hated the capitalists just as much as the rest of us."
"All respects to the Spartacists, senor, but it takes more than a season to turn bandits into soldiers," Joanna replied, "no matter how populist said bandits are." She turned over the long train ride from Del Rio in her head, however, reflecting on overheard conversation between the four on the merits of writers from Bakunin to Goldman, and their hamfisted attempts to draw Joanna into their debates. "I will give you their loyalty to socialism, though. I just think they're annoying."
"And," she thought, remembering the rolled up pamphlet in her purse, "hating the capitalists so much may be a drawback. We do not need this meeting to devolve into a screaming match."
To be entirely fair to the former Van der Linde outlaws, they were model guards of bodies for the Amigos del Pueblos delegation. Additionally, they weren't responsible for the inaugural meeting of the Mexican Liberal Party devolving into a screaming match.
No, it had already devolved into a screaming match by the time the delegation got there.
"What in God's name do you mean, 'the constitution is just a piece of paper'," one Camilo Arriaga screamed at one Enrique Flores Magon. "Diaz's flagrant violations of the constitution is why we are here! To restore proper democracy to Mexico!"
"I mean exactly what I said, you liberal fool! The constitution of 1857 is dead, and has been for twenty five years! We shouldn't concern ourselves with that farce of a document any longer!"
Joanna winced as she scribbled down everything she could catch among the screaming and insults. Personally and professionally, she agreed with Magon, but the thought dominating her mind right then?
This was going to be a long day.

Planned out for a week, written up in an hour, and heavily inspired by Equestria at War's take on late Porfiriatian era Mexico.
I would like the bonus for this omake to go to the AdP's action for funding the emergent MLP

Minutemen meeting 1990
"Well, looks lie ARM had issues."
*Sigh*"It was sadly inevitable. There was no vision, just a bunch of disparate groups alarmed at the nation tearing itself apart. And pretty much everyone had grievances with each other."
*Pfft*"Us Terrorists? yeah right."
"Why did we send him anyway? He was doubtful from the beginning?"
"We know why, we didn't want to entangle ourselves too deeply, in case things didn't work out. And besides, the central issue was the fact we were arguably the only group there that actually had fought with, and even supported groups like the CLA and forty acres movement. Never mind the fact everyone knows our involvement in Wilmington, with people blaming everyone not the what would become WUA themselves for escalating the matter."
"REALLLLY. It's like the white supremacists never overthrew a government for the sake of 'correcting votes' before."
"Out of sight out of mind, exactly how the white supremacists like it. Bury the news of their atrocities, and when big clashes happen, paint everyone else as responsible for the escalation, and thus the bad guys."
"Well, at least the new colonies have an out from the colonial deal."
"Conveniently giving two years for the Imperialists to make good in entangling them to the USA. This is something we will need to keep an eye on, especially with how these territories, and Hawaii might create the spark to engulf the whole nation."
"The Sedition bill is worrisome. The whole foundation of how we are trying to deal with recent events are being targeted by this. In fact, this could have been used to target us for daring to even imply joining the army may not have been a good thing. Not to mention everything else. AND THAT IS JUST THE WATERED DOWN VERSION! The power of Press Censorship isn't something that should just be handed out like that, it's just outright unconstitutional!"
"And Wilmington is becoming Bleeding Kansas 2.0, as if it wasn't already clear that war was likely."
"Speaking of, the last conflict we fought didn't end well, any ideas of ways to avoid a repeat?"
"Well, the central point was that we were dug in, we were focused on holding the line, and disengaging didn't go well after a feint by horse riders spooked our allies, causing the lines to fall apart as they rushed to protect their homes."
"Something that was especially noted by those whom believed in the manuver doctrine. As while the SPA enjoyed the defenders advantage, they still lost, alongside our own backup because an attack from an unexpected direction caused the defense to become fragile, and much more easily taken by the attackers."
"Something which when added with the very curious fact that, contrary to what nearly everyone said, Grant, in spite of often being the attacker, had lost on average fewer men than he had any right to. Has led a new philosophy built on initiative, built on the idea that if careful, managed aggression can be maintained, it'll prove to be devastating, by not giving the enemy time to do stuff other than react to what is being done."
"So, I guess the question is what should we do this year?"
"We must sound out the leaders of the army, see how many are willing to stick with this farce. The more that don't side with the Confederates returned the better."
"Well, there are people interested in getting some specifically trained field engineers and couriers, alongside others like marksmen."
"Well, I heard there is gonna be an attempt to retake willmington through the polls, there s no way the WUA wouldn't respond, so let's send some help."
"Put more effort on ensuring we get the best equipment, if we are to hit the field, we need to make up for our low numbers."
"Well, looks like we at least got some direction."
A/N: A little something here. Points towards the army talk action.
