Part III of III: Encounter: The Politics of Bridge-Making
Feliz Año Cabrones: On the Continued Centrality
of the Zapatista Movement after 14 Years

The EZLN has made abajo not a term for victims, but for a different organization of people, a different way of composing community, a different collective subjectivity. Abajo is a political initiative; it cannot be an opposition to arriba (above), a reaction, or a consequence. It is an affirmative project, a new organization or arrangement of forces; this is what the Other Campaign is at the national level and the Sixth at the international. The “todos� and the “otros� (the “all� and the “others�) aspects of the Sixth Declaration and the signing-on by national and international civil society as partners in the effort requires understanding the construction of “below� in this sense; that is, in the construction of a below among all that wants everything.

Part II. A Society to Create
"All of this now, everything we have and do now, good or bad, it is we as zapatistas that decide and do it, not the bosses/masters [...]
This is the change we have undergone; this is what gives strength to the autonomous government of the compañeros. If we had not taken the means of production, the land, in our hands, the autonomous municipalities would not function, [autonomy] would be only words..."

In the 1990’s, before the Zapatista uprising, it was said that there was no possibility for struggle, that left-led revolution was dead and the path of global capitalism was the only option. Today it has been said that the Zapatista struggle has faded away, its causes resolved or its militants resigned, or that any struggle that does not aim for or collaborate with state power is at best ineffective and worse, debilitating to the institutional left. But, as we will detail below, the political work and daily organization of the Zapatista communities, which, even under harsh attack have formed not only functioning autonomous systems across their territory but also a national organizational plan and a global network, is a project that remains central for all of us who are trying to build another world. And it is a project we must defend against the war now being waged against it, because in the end it is a war against all of us. read full story / add a comment

Ayer tarde, quien escribe estas líneas, entre estos bosques tropicales de Palo Santo, mientras me encontraba en el campo con una de mis perras, el animal fue violentamente atacado por un numerosísimo enjambre de abejas salvajes embravecidas, y cuando (sin tener ningún equipo de protección) intenté rescatar a la perra de las enfurecidas abejas, también sufrí algo así como algo mas de unas treinta "picaduras". Terminé en el Hospital local, aunque ya estoy bien...

Pero mientras esto sucedía en los olvidados bosques del norte argentino, a la misma hora, en otros lugares del Mundo (o, mejor dicho en todo el Mundo), cinco palabras pronunciadas por un Rey recorrían... read full story / add a comment

Howdy,

We are autonomous people producing an independent radio program about
Plan Puebla Panama and I-69, which we hope will air throughout the United
States. There is a pressing need for this information to be spread
because few know what is happening. Our aim for the program is to help
inform and bring together a rebel movement.

To this end we want your help. read full story / add a comment
