Macna's Story of the Revolutionary Peasant

Little nestor was the youngest of five children, and he received only a few years primary education. He didn't last long in school, but mostly because the family's economic circumstances forced him to go out and work for wages. Macna came equipped with an instinctive hostility to authority that was compounded by a life spent working for various landlords and estate managers. And so unlike most of the other revolutionaries we've talked about, macno was not radicalized at university before advancing on to the coffee houses.
