Zapatismo on the 12 Axes

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) rose up in Chiapas on 1 January 1994, the day NAFTA took effect, and took its name from the revolutionary Emiliano Zapata. After twelve days of fighting it turned to political struggle, with Subcomandante Marcos as its best-known voice. Its ideas blend Mayan communal traditions, Marxism and liberation theology. When the 1996 San Andrés Accords on indigenous rights were not turned into law as agreed, the Zapatistas built their own autonomous municipalities, with Good Government Councils and caracoles from 2003, reorganized in 2023. Their principle of leading by obeying makes every post rotating and recallable. Compared with anarcho-communism, it is rooted in indigenous communities and keeps an army for self-defense. Compared with indigenism, it rejects state programs and capitalism itself.
