I’ve heard conflicting things about their political orientation.

    Appeals to normality now, huh?

    Ad hominem. Whataboutism. Third buzzword.

    Hmmmm, gee, I wonder who else wanted to get rid of the “problematic natives”

    Hey, look on the bright side, you’ve got a *glowing* career down at the CIA

      I am not suggesting “getting rid” of anyone. Where do you think I said that? I am talking about a political of two ideologies that do not get along potentially fighting each other, not ethnic cleansing or genocide, and that is completely clear. I am clearly advocating solidarity between indigenous groups, and between peasants and proletarians, and you think this is somehow the CIA. I have made clear I am not advocating violence against them, but rather entertaining what you seem not to acknowledge is the possibility of conflict between Marxists and non-Marxists. I have clarified that I think indigenous people need to at the center of the socialist movement in Mexico, and this has convinced you that I hate indigenous people, makes perfect sense. Their rejection of Marxism could put them at odds with a broader nationwide movement in the future, and that is what I am talking about.

      Again, what ways have you supported them, other than suggesting that I hate them, which you seem to think is super helpful to them.

        You were “asking questions” about them being crushed if they don’t agree with your hypothetical future Mexican state.

        I am clearly advocating solidarity between indigenous groups

        You are clearly advocating “solidarity” between groups that agree with your idea of Marxism, and destruction for those who don’t

          Go back and actually read what I wrote… I asked if it might happen, I never advocated for it. Hold you fucking horses for a second. As I said to someone else, you could have answered the question any way you wanted, and rather than doing that attacked me as hating indigenous people for speculating about conflict between what I am proposing would be a large front including many indigenous people against one specific group. I never suggested that the people that live in Chiapas should be, need to be, or would in this hypothetical be killed, I am talking about conflict between discreet political organizations, and in the scenario I am setting out neither could be said to represent indigenous people in general.

            You are chauvinist scum. It is laughable that you think indigenous peoples would align with people such as yourself to attack other indigenous peoples.

              I’ve studied indigenous history, read some books written about specific peoples and events by members of those groups. They are not, counter to what you seem to think, a homogenous group. There are many different and disparate indigenous peoples and political structures, and they do not all believe the same things or get along. Please go read about some of the war that were fought over colonialism and you will see how your idea of the indigenous being a united front is wrong. I would like to see a united front of all of them, but I don’t think that Zapatistas are that way inclined. I could be wrong, and perhaps they will demonstrate that. Hence, critical support.
