I’ve heard conflicting things about their political orientation.

    Mexico in general has a much greater history of general strikes and coalitions between the various groups: peasants, peons, slum dwellers, industrialists, teachers, students, christian, Marxist.

    They also have a much greater history of state repression.

    If you’re going to be skeptical, be skeptical of your own expectations of others and mind to your own affairs.

    You don’t sound like you understand Mexico. It sounds like you just heard about the Zapatas from the internet and excited yourself without any due regard for the history from the civil war onward. Now you’re frustrated that reality doesn’t align with your misconception.

    That’s not the Zapatatista’s fault. That’s your fault. They’ve been alive before you and regardless of you.
