Non-ideological

Jorge Fernàndez Mendèndez, writing just after the Morelia attacks, sounds an optimistic note:

The Mexican state is attacked today through a sort of war of guerillas
without any ideology or political party. The response should come from that
viewpoint and the absence of ideological content behind it should make that
challenge easier to confront.

That sounds logical, and I hope he's right, but I've read some stuff about the Family (the group presently suspected) that made me think it had quasi-ideological pretensions. I'm thinking mostly about a bizarre interview with a representative of the criminal group that was included, I think, in Cursed Inheritence, by Ricardo Ravelo. The guy went on at length and seemingly in all honesty about how the Family contributed to a safer Michoacàn. From that absence of cynicism, it's a short leap to believing you are justified in confronting the government with bombs in public spaces. Shorter, anyway, than it would be were greed the only motivator.
