Me personally, I find the EZLN fascinating. (if there is anything bad about them, let me know because I do not know much bad things about them)

They are one of the few movements that anarchists praise that I actually think are based, although the Zapatistas have told westerners to stop calling them anarchists, communists, or anything else.

They also fight against drug cartels and seem to have created one of the most stable territories in the Chiapas region.

However, they are too small to do anything big like overthrowing the Mexican government. They would be crushed quickly.

Give me your thoughts on the EZLN and/or, as the title suggests, any non-ML movements that you support.

    I support Extinction Rebellion , even though they are too libby and not radical enough. They do a lot for climate action and their actions are becoming better and they get more momentum.

    Furthermore I somewhat support Rojava. The fact that they are allied to the US is a shame, but I think their political system, while flawed, is a step in the right direction

      I heard extinction rebellion messed up an indigenous protest from Sungmanitou on Marx Madness. I’m glad to have more militant climate defenders, but they’re a little radlib-y. I need to look more into what they’ve actually done.
