- Cherán is a town of some 20,000 inhabitants in the highlands of Michoacán, one of the Mexican states that’s suffered most in the drug wars of the last decade.
Armed men and women - not police, but members of an autonomous militia - guard every entrance to the town, looking for strangers with contraband.
At the height of election season in Mexico, contraband means mostly political campaign ads: Guards confiscated thousands of banners and posters, from every major political party in Mexico, in just a few weeks. These ads, along with the political parties that produce them, are completely banned in Cherán, and have been since 2011, when residents overthrew their local government and started over.
The town had been terrorized for years by an organized crime syndicate devoted to illegally logging the surrounding forests. After mobs drove out the criminals, they disarmed and drove out the corrupt cops who had protected them. Then they banned the politicians and the parties that put them in power.
In their place, the people of Cherán developed an autonomous system of self-rule based on horizontal, direct-democratic assemblies.
And while it remains economically dependent on the existing government, Cherán has achieved something unthinkable in Michoacán: Reducing the rate of murders and other serious crimes to close to zero.
For many in Mexico, especially in an election year marred by wanton political murders, Cherán stands as proof that, in the country’s entrenched cycle of violence, the key ingredient is the state: Remove that ingredient, and it’s possible to start from scratch.

VICE News Thank you vice for having unbiased coverage of the events in Mexico and around the world!
"Collusion"?? Govt. and their henchmen ARE organized crime! It is criminal to use violence against non-violent people. Is it violence to speak? Or is it your right to speak your mind, verbally and in writing or art?
The new democratic militia is destroying a form of speech, the political banners. Banners don't create politics, people do. If the people repudiate violence except in defense against initiated violence, then they will have peace and prosperity. An armed populace is a civil populace, usually. It depends on community morality. If the people of Cheran are committed to non-violence and only punish the initiation of violence, then they can each be sovereign, self-governing individuals. A new society organized by voluntary interactions will be a civil, peaceful, prosperous lifestyle that attracts people from all over. But it must resist reverting back to violence.
Angel Gutierrez vice unbiased? Since when?

Rata 4U hahahaha
They overthrew their own corrupt government and set up their fair, democratic, and uncorrupt one. Hope these people will have more victory in Mexico
it wouldn't be bad if it spread outside as well.
Happy Dapp they actually set up a republic. Democracy is what got them into trouble in the first place.
Kirk Blackson a republic is a democracy
Kirk Blackson they still elect officials and whatnot, it’s not a direct democracy but a democracy nonetheless
Happy Dapp that's literally what a republic is... sorry the public school system lied to you but democracy is a terrible thing. The founders knew they don't work which is they he US is also NOT a democracy. The word is never once used in any founding document. The difference is we added an executive branch. They're actually using a more pure form of a republic then we are.
9 murders in 7 years Dam, that's safer than most American towns in the US. these people are headed in the right direction 👍
Honestly
The US average is about 4.8 Murders per 100,000, Mexico's is 19.25, this towns murder rate is 7.75 so while it is higher than the US average it is less than half the Mexican average so I applaud this town.
@@sunset6325 your math is way off. How do they have a murder rate of 7.75 per 100000 people if they have only had 9 murders in the last 7 years
@@helloturtle3749 You don't understand the procedure, the population of this town is reported at 16,250 people (officially 12.5k). 16,250 is 1/6.15th of 100,000 meaning each murder is multiplied by 6.15 and then divided by 7 (the amount of years) to find the murder rate per 100,000 residents. Do the math, 9 x 6.15 = 55.35 - 55.35 divided by 7 = 7.9, if we use the official number the rate becomes 10.25 per 100,000 per year.
@@sunset6325 my apologies mate you are correct. I didn't consider the population of the town.
Where can I donate to Cherán? Not a joke. This is so refreshing. Mexican people need more of this. Rebuild your country. Corruption and politics go hand in hand all over the world.

@@RizwanKhan-sc5yp woah nice quote 👍
im from cheran,messege me amigo
The professor knows what's up. "If it doesn't help to elevate the quality of life of our community, then it's not good for anything." Not only that, but corruption has a tendency to find its way back into even newly formed and "idealistic" systems of government. I genuinely hope that Cherán will make this work and prosper in the future.
It happens because people always lose the fervor to punish the corrupt or criminal. They develop soft hearts forwards criminals. We must not think of criminals or corrupt politicians or gang members or mafia...etc as humans. Think of them more like vermin and realize it is best to wipe them out right away.
I mean it's been going for a decade with no major problems. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't prosper.
They need to form complex forms of government so much so that there's so many road blocks to power it'd take generations to etch away at the system mitigating corruption. Just like the Romans had, and Americans had but are starting to lose.

@@danco.9883 This town is more hardcore libertarian and pro gun
Kinda feels like the various local Security Forces in Star Wars
@@LegoGamer562 It is libertarian, but it is leftist libertarianism. They do not respect the supposed private property rights of loggers to their commonly held land. They are also inspired by the Zapatistas, who are anarchists commonly identified as leftists.
@@TheMaskedPikmin the loggers had no property rights to that land lmfao. that land is sacred to the native purepecha and was supposed to be protected by the state. cartels and chorrupt officials began profiting off of the illegal logging so the people took it into their own hands. do ur research next time.
Other Mexican towns should take example of this.
Dominic Markovina theres a good documentary called narco cultura i believe, and they did exactly this and took back many towns. Eventually the government infiltrated them and broke them up.
They have, since the zapatist uprising a lot towns have implemented this goverment of the people in their communities.
Dominic Markovina they have done it,this is the reason why doctor Mireles went to prison in Mexico.
They have, but either one of two things tends to happen, either the militias eventually also morph into organized crime or the larger cartels eventually come in and take over. What many in the US don't understand is that while there are some cartels that don't even reach a count of 100, the larger ones have like the one who was in control of my family's home state reached up to 200,000 members. It was essentially an army. These are the ones that eventually come in if they think they could use the town.
It’s too late for sum towns.. cartel done took over and the government just sitting on they ass watching.
The Mexican people are so kind to me when I first visited there. I love it the country and the people because they accepted me with open arms. Respect for these people.
Mexico can, and deserves to be a strong country. May more Mexicans realize this and stay in their country to fight for it.
Some of us are trying, it's an uphill battle.
But I will keep trying
@@FilthyGaijin 🙏
@@FilthyGaijin how is the situation in México now?
Too bad that will never happen.
That only works for indigenous towns
I lived in Mexico for a while and what I was told by teachers and friends is that Mexico's system of government is in many ways a continuation of the colonial government system established by Spain - a system that intended the drain out resources for the benefit of the colonizing power and supporting elites, while doing very little for the local population. Cherán's example seems as an grassroots attempt to finally break that vicious, foreign implemented cycle, and replace it with a system that is build around the values and desires of the local, indigenous population. I will very much be looking forward to future news from Cherán's.
Cherános ¡les deseo buena suerte!
ConradInternational Well said
please have kids so more people know what you do. dumb people are outnumbering you quickly.
Justin Pettet smart people aren't having kids or if they do like one. dumb people have like 5 kids. should be the other way around
You seem to be reaching your conclusion with a rather flawed philosophy when you say, "system that intended the drain out resources for the benefit of the colonizing power and supporting elites." But you are correct in many ways the Mexican government actively works against the people.
Vin Soriano, Ya, I know a few who need to be neutered!
We need to do this all over México 🙆🙆
Alfredo Jimenez *the world
Dang you got the same first and last name as me
Edit: olvera is my middle name
why dont you?
I'm going to do something similar in a different part of Mexico. If you guys are actual down, I'll take you to my house over there where I grew up for a bitt, we can make a change for Mexico because we can cross the border without a problem. My parents abandoned Mexico like many other families who left there own families to suffer in Mexico. Then we were born and the pachucos came to be. We protected our Raza and even got down with the US navy. Following generations of Mexican-Americans were born and slowly changed the ways of a pancho and now known as a Sureno. Society made us this way and they discriminate just cause we Mexicans, so why put up with their shit when we have our own Tierra y Liberta I want to go home to Estado Unidos Mexicanos where we actual belong, imagine if your parents didn't abandoned Mexico nothing but Mexicans were you could of been born . La Raza wasn't scared to protest against ICE in LA while wearing a Mexico's shirt a place that they abandoned because they were scared to do something and chose for a better life but are willing to fight and die for the United States. I love La Raza but I dont want to die for the ones in the United states but I have too fuckin culos . I would rather die in Mexico with the ones making a change Viva La Revolución. White supremacy is becoming active so stay safe and we'll see who's actual down for La Raza when shit hits the fan. 🖐
@Eliseo Guadarrama If you’d like some aid from a gringo with explosives knowledge and a killer deadeye let me know. I’ve seen too many good people die at the hands of corrupt police all over the world. I think we’ve all had enough of the common man being beaten down by globalized business and authoritarian governments.
This fight goes beyond race and politics for me. My friend from San Miguel de Allende was killed by a group of men in rural Guanajuato a year ago while he was delivering food and medicine to a dying village near an abandoned, toxic silver mine. They wanted the supplies for their gang to sell and were perfectly fine screwing over and killing anyone who stepped out of line. The feds didn’t do shit (shocker) and now his mother has to visit his grave to lay flowers every moths. No parent should have to bury their child.
So when the time comes you bet your ass I’ll support the movement in any way I can. A life is only worth as much as the good you do living it.
The land is for the people! Keep being strong amigos
Come at me bro
We have a lot to learn from the indigenous civilizations: unity, purpose before personal benefit, and other things... Awesome.

erik2811 I detect sarcasm.
The world is not black and white my friend. There are never easy solutions.
+Sun. You clearly havent read or understood much of the real Sun Tzu if you think this is a good thing. In most cases these type of "neighborhood militias" become what they at first were fighting. Which is why there is always a huge disarmament of such groups after a war, regardless of which side they were on. Gangland USA is another example of neighborhood groups turning to crime once their main task is done. Because then they suddenly realize they have what those they were fighting did. A group that can be used to enforce their will on others...
Sun Tzu not in America

Devin Mounce itll be like.any other 3rd world shit stain
Lucasart328 You could be right, but at least they are looking to better their shit hole, instead of tucking their heads and taking it hard. This is how people should live. Whether their political system is realistic or not, they are doing what works for them at that moment, it could change in a couple years, or they could become the same corrupt politicians they broke away from. Either way they took action and did what they had to do to help their people and didn't let their community fall into a lawless cycle they couldn't come back from.
Devin Mounce there is probably one problem. Some of these people like the power and become a cartel themselves. I believe that it happened before if I'm not wrong. Either way wish them the best.

Edgar Garcia yes yes it is the people took control that’s what matters!
You do realise it’s an anarcho communist project. Nothing wrong with that for me though.
Well, it may be alright for a small town like this but I don't think it would work in a big city.
a big city could do this in segments.
Just like in Somalia
This is exactly how I thought voting should happen, everyone can clearly see what is going on and it's so transparent, the numbers are counted and the people accounted for. America is a prime example of if you overcomplicate things you can easily get away with anything
You can't do that when you have tens of thousands of people or even millions. I'd suggest looking into Switzerland. They're still relatively small but not this small.
@Ismael Barrera it's doable if you split up districts and do it by district
@@Beanie-Sandals And have all hospitals and essential businesses close so you can stand in a line? Lol. The scale simply doesn't allow for this.
It is actually a problem to see eho you vote. Can leqs to corruption just as much as any other system. My country had to change to an anonymous system because of threats to voters
There are a lot of potential issues. Imo the model might work well for communities with a strong sense of unity, and more tolerating of eachother views. You should try to find a video of how the US election changed throughout history, at the beginning it was more or less something like this.
Having your votes be transparent can introduce peer pressure and discrimination by making your political views be known. Voting differently from your family, neighbors, etc.
Hats off to these amazing people! World can learn a lot from them. Instead of blaming and avoiding responsibility, they took it on their own to change the situation. Truly inspiring!
We should do this to Republicans and Democrats.
No politics. Just people.
We vote because, we trust.
Not Vote because of presumptive trust.
Democracy can still be restored.
Luis De Jesus
Too bad democracy is what causes all of that.
modernwarrior24 Democracy is just a system. But its what runs the system is the problem.
Same thing with car troubles, what exactly causes engine problems isnt the engine per se. Cause if it was the engine, why would run with it in the first place?
People, people are the problem. Profiteering, extortion, and manipulation are the problems that cause the degredation of Democracy. It is a system that provides openess but if not tended with correctly and with the interests in the peoples in mind. It can rue into degrading against the will of the people.
One cannot presume what is right, without understanding the mandate of everyone involved.
Those that helped tear down the Berlin Wall didnt come this far to see Democracy fall short.
Luis De Jesus
"People are the problem"
Exactly and people are the most important part of a democracy.
Democracy puts too much power in people.
People who dont care about politics, who aren't educated on politics.
People become like sheep and vote for who ever offers them the most free things and will not vote on principles but materials. People are easily manipulated, which is why it is normal for a leader to rise up out of a group. Democracy can work easily in a small group. But anything bigger and it always fails. Fails to peoples desires, laziness, and ignorance. All of which is human nature.
+Luis De Jesus well said.
You can keep your democracy. I prefer the original constitutional republic.
Perfect movie material here. Inspiration for thousands of towns around the world desperate to just be able to breathe.

I'm mexican and to be honest I've never heard of this town, not in media or even in social networks. I don't know if that's on purpose, but man I have to admit it makes me hopeful. More and more Mexicans have begun to take a stance against our corrupt government that's controlled by the narco carteles, I know we're still a long way off of any major changes in the country, but this sets a precedent that it is possible. All we need is unity, i think I'm starting to under stand that cheesy phase i would hear as a child. " Juntos, unidos el pueblo jamás será vencido" because that's where we get our power, from the people, from ourselves.

World Citizen I don't mean their view of immigration. I meant the issue of half the American population mistreating, slurring, and attacking Mexican citizens, and other South American refugees at every chance they get.

@Andre Hpunkt What? I don’t think antifa are fascists. They’re anti fascists. It’s in the name. National socialism is definitely not leftist either. It’s a fascist ideology.
The examples I gave were leftist. Neoliberals are nowhere near leftists. I’d even say they’re more right wing. Being or pretending to be culturally left in order to benefit corporations doesn’t make them left leaning centrists. Social democrats are center-left.
Your second reply is correct though. I didn’t know much about anarchism when I first commented. Now that I do, I’m against it.
