I’ve heard conflicting things about their political orientation.

    Zapata was a socialist alive at about the same time as Lenin with Zapata and Poncho Villa being around the same time as the Russian Revolution. The PRI (party of institutionalized revolution) is comparable to the provisional government of the bourgeoisie in Russia. Mexico is it’s own thing with it’s own history. It makes sense that Zapata be held up as a national hero in Mexico and not be subordinated to foreign revolutionaries of his own time.

    At a certain point action and behavior matters more than the name you call yourself.
