The present article analyzes the main strategies of the anarchists of the Mexican Liberal Party. On the one hand, they did avoid to identify themselves as anarchists, and, on the other, engaged in joining to anarchists of both the United States and Europe. In this way, they tried to put into practice the Kropotkin and Malatesta idea of creating two simultaneous organizations, one public and the other clandestine. Subsequently, at the beginning of the Mexican revolution, they called for the expropriation of all means of production and encouraged the arrival of United States-based anarchists to Mexico. According to their expectations, the American people would join them. Their rhetoric emphasized that the Mexican revolution was already an anarchist one and it was therefore auspicious for the coming of comrades from all over the world. However, and despite their urging, their calling did not result as expected.
