| Summary: | This article adds a new twist to the role of Mexico as a revolutionary “emporium” and point of transnational encounter between international communism and regional radicalism. Going against the majority view of transnationalism as a melting pot for major social and cultural transformations, this article indicates challenges and adverse results, given the complexities of this experience. Being agents of conflict, it indicates the particularities of the communist collective gathered together in the Mexican capital, such as the multinational character of the networks affiliated with the Comintern and the conflictive personalities of some of their members. It also offers specific examples of personal clashes and their outcomes for the internal stability of the movement and its representative organizations.
