County Jail, 1917 .]] Flores Magón explored the writings and ideas of many , Charles Malato , Errico Malatesta , Anselmo Lorenzo , Emma Goldman , Fernando Tarrida Del Mármol and Max Stirner . However, he was most influenced by Peter Kropotkin . Flores Magón also read from the works of Karl Marx and Henrik Ibsen . He was the leading inspirer of the Mexican Revolution , the Mexican revolutionary movement in the Partido Liberal Mexicano . Magón organised with the Wobblies (IWW) and edited ''Regeneración'', which aroused the workers against the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz . Kropotkin's '' The Conquest Of Bread '', which he considered a kind of anarchist bible, served as basis for the short-lived revolutionary communes in Baja California during the "Magonista" Revolt of 1911 . Magón remained from 1904 in the USA , half of this period in Prison , driven from city to city. His movement fired the imagination of the American anarchists. His last arrest was in 1918 , receiving a twenty year sentence for "obstructing the war effort". He died in prison but his remains rest in the ''Rotonda de los Hombres Ilustres'' in Mexico City .
