So could it be classified as lots of overlapping local Godfather(Mexican Edition) networks?
It's interesting how there seem to be a lot of seemingly independent ultra local self defense organisations popping onto the radar in a short time frame, or it's been happening all along and it suits to push it in the media, or I simply don't understand how Mexico works.
It's an area of interest for me at it kinda feels like the "best" window into the future for the overlap of state and non-state actor governance and legitimacy, mashed together with transnational crime and terrorism, and that grey area in the middle of the continuum between law enforcement on one end and military action on the other.
There's an active Mexican Marine I have some mutual friends with who I'm hoping to catch up with someday to get his take on what's happening in his country.
