Mariano Sánchez Añón Insurrectional Cell
The Mariano Sánchez Añón Insurrectional Cell ( es, Célula Insurreccional Mariano Sánchez Añón, CI-MSA/FAI) was an urban guerrilla group in the Greater Mexico City area. History The group was founded at the beginning of 2010 in a boom of anarchist cells in Mexico City and the State of Mexico. It was active during the arrest of several militants in the demonstrations of the Indignados and Yo Soy 132 movements, as well as the 2012 Mexico riots, where they broke violently into the marches, generally confronting the Grenadiers. After the repression suffered in these protests and the seizure of power by then-president Enrique Peña Nieto, this and other groups began to carry out sabotage and attacks, increasing in intensity and damage caused. In an interview with members of the group, they claimed to have carried out attacks and sabotage in the early 2000s, but it was not until December 2010 that, together with other anarchist cells, they merged into the Mariano Sánchez Añ ...

The term "collective" is sometimes used to describe a species as a whole—for example, the human collective. For political purposes, a collective is defined by decentralized, or "majority-rules" decision making styles. Types of groups Collectives are sometimes characterised by attempts to share and exercise political and social power and to make decisions on a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis. A commune or intentional community, which may also be known as a "collective household", is a group of people who live together in some kind of dwelling or residence, or in some other arrangement (e.g., sharing land).
