Nationalism was defined as “the key to organization transcends all religious, political, class, and economic factions or boundaries” and this definition could be identified in the quote “por la raza toda, fuera de la raza nada”, this meant that anything that had to do with the people would fought for, but anything that did not belong with the people would be ignored. I believe that this is what nationalism is all about. Fighting for what with our own hands has been built and fight against those who wish to destroy that.
Another very important message sent through the El Plan de Aztlan was the organizational goals which included social, economic, cultural, political independence, independence from all of these meant true liberation. El Plan de Aztan identifies Unity, Economy, Education, Institutions, Self-defense, Cultural and Political as organizational goals that help accomplish liberation from oppression. These seven organizational goals serve the people as guidance for independence.
Can this plan be used as guidance for machismo liberation? Can this plan be applied to other issues around the world besides liberation from invasion of territory? In this essay, Awareness was very important. Do you believe that awareness is the key to true liberation? If everyone knows there is a problem, can the issues be solved completely?
