"I write these notes like someone throwing a message-in-a-bottle into the sea. Whose hands will they reach, if anyone?"
from a letter written on the first day of his last imprisonment.
Revueltas had several ongoing theoretical projects : democracia cognoscitiva (cognitive democracy), autogestión (university-level educational self-management), and topografía de la lucha de clases (the topography of class struggle). He explores these mostly in his prison writings, like those collected in Mexico '68, as well as in pamphlets like Youth and the Alienation of Society, published in the U.S. by Pathfinder Press during his final imprisonment.
In his final years, Revueltas also extended Hegel's concept of the dialectic of consciousness in his posthumously published Dialéctica de la Conciencia (now out of print but available from several libraries and used book stores).
Finally, Revueltas developed, in print on several occasions, what he called a "Theoretical Schema on the Problems of Art and Liberty" (see "Two Essays on the Suicide of Mayakovsky"). This schema primarily dealt with solving the problem of political repression of the arts and the attempts at centralized control of the arts in various socialist societies of the 20th century. Revueltas comes out strong on the side of free expression regardless of political ideology or governmental superstructure.
