British Question Are the BBC Reporters so ignorant of Mexico that they called the PRI political party more?

Question

Right wing? John Reed an American Communist called the Mexican Revolution a grand socialist experiment. Communists of all stripes went into exile there. Diego Rivera a Communist painted murals there. There is evidence a dirty war took place there in the 60's and the BEEB idiot had the nerve to call the PRI a right wing party, did England decide to rewrite the history of Mexico so it fit in the PC mold?

Answer 1

the british labour party used to be a socialist party, it is now a neo-liberal, (economically), conservative party. the same is true of the PRI, over time it has drifted from the left to the right. the same thing is happening in the 'people's' republic of china. why would the CIA have sent the PRI arms and materials during the 60s and 70s if it was communist.
