(San Antonio Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, 1873 - Leavenworth, Kansas, 1922) Mexican politician and journalist who is considered a precursor of the Mexican Revolution. His figure has remained as that of one of the most upright fighters and consistent with the cause of the workers during the times of the Revolution. Indefatigable and indefatigable, his thought and his struggle inspired many of the workers' conquests and some rights that would be included in the Mexican constitution.
The son of Indigenous parents, Ricardo Flores Magón studied law at the University of Mexico. In 1892 he was arrested along with his brother Jesús de him during a student protest against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. After collaborating with the short-lived daily El Demócrata, he founded with his brother the newspaper Regeneración, whose first issue appeared on August 7, 1900 and from whose pages the Porfiriato was permanently lashed out.
Harassed by the government, he had to go into exile in the United States in 1904. In the city of Saint Louis (Missouri), he founded in 1906 the Mexican Liberal Party, of socialist/anarchist ideology, claiming a revolutionary program of state interventionism. He demanded the eight-hour day, Sunday rest and the distribution of land to the peasants, with which his ideas had repercussions on the Mexican labor movement. Closer and closer to anarchist socialism, his party was behind the strikes in the mining town of Cananea and the Rio Blanco industrial zone in Veracruz (1906-1907), violently repressed by the Díaz regime.
After the outbreak in 1910 of the revolution that would force Porfirio Díaz to resign, in 1911 he promoted the insurrection in Baja California with his brother Enrique. They came to take the cities of Mexicali and Tijuana and tried, without success, to found a socialist republic. Lacking aid, they were defeated by government troops and had to retreat to the United States. Convinced that the governments were to blame for the oppression of the working class, they continued to fight the rulers who, during the turbulent period of the Mexican Revolution, succeeded Díaz: Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza.
President Francisco Madero sought his help, but Flores refused to collaborate with the bourgeois revolution. Many of his claims were admitted in the Congress of Querétaro (1917). In 1918 he drew up a manifesto addressed to anarchists around the world, for which he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the American authorities. After suffering a cruel and ruthless prison regime, he died almost blind on November 20, 1922, in Leavenworth (Kansas) penitentiary.

If I were to make a MGS6 - but like a spiritual sequel, all the proverbial serial numbers sawed off - I would have it take place after MGS4 in terms of chronology
I think youd play Sunny - who was supposed to represent hope for a generation without war trained to become a soldier anyway. I also would do it just to stick it in the eye of anyone who would be like "this game sucks you play a woman" when The Boss was already a deadly awesome woman soldier anyway in MGS3. I think Sunny would have more like hacking sections? And made more literal, it wouldnt be calling people and social engineering and terminals lol, just justify it by its The Future so hacking now looks like netrunning or whatever. And Id de-center sexualization, like she'd be a young woman so thats gonna be part of her life but it wouldnt be for the audiences/players benefit (like Quiet).
And I think thered still be a Metal Gear. Its a great transgressive image, a robot dinosaur that can launch stealth nukes to end the world - or can run AI that can control information or whatever. Id make it massive, like there's be a mission where you infiltrate somewhere and you slowly figure out this isnt a Shadow Moses. The level IS the metal gear youre supposed to be finding and destroying if possible. Its enormous, its beyond scope, you cant hide from it and it isnt even trying to hide from you. Its Sublime. Like an even bigger version of Sahelanthropus, but probably still just a 2 legged chicken style walker. Its like Imperialism or War made manifest, its past the control of any group and proliferate conflict by its mere existence - maybe its a mobile factory in addition to a stealth nuke launcher lol. It starts off producing mass weapons before later missions you pick up more or less custom one offs.
All the factions want to control it but it's way past being controlled or directed by human hands. Its no longer necessary for any human to be at its wheel, in fact possessing it is more likely to just make the owner think more like it.
I like that. People could live on the Metal Gear, and it would be like a little utopia on it, and they would be utterly in denial of the devastation that is wrought to keep their lives the way they are. Then other people would live belowdecks keeping it running, and occasionally the top-people would form militias to raid the belowdecks and kidnap people just to throw them off the metal gear to their deaths (or maybe you could do something that isn't just ripping off that frozen train movie idk).
edit: actually instead of a utopia maybe living on the metal gear really sucks but the people doing it are blind to the obvious fact that their killing of the people maintaining it is the reason why everything's always broken and shitty
