the EZLN, and me. this is where im at...



the zapatista movement is the realest shit happening in this whole wide world. its present. its live. its growing and it is in your backyard...

i could bore you with the history, or maybe you already know? if you dont, at least wikipedia that shit, homie.

there is no other revolution happening like this in the whole wide world. im not saying that pockets of revolution dont exist from squat to squat...im saying they dont exist like this. i find it funny when feminist zines quote mao in all his so called glorious statements about women and their role in revlution. sure, he thought they were important, because it was another body producing to feed an army...but in reality, dude was a prick. he made his wife leave behind every child (but one) she ever had, in whatever remote village they happened to be in. he never saw any of them either. hence, the funny part.

the zapatistas support a revolution where women are equal. not because they can produce, but just because of the simple fact that women are equal. again, i dont want to bore you, but you really should look into it. pretty progressive shit for some indiginos, no?

something else really cool? yes, there are armed zapatistas, but many carry woden faux guns. symbolism. but peaceful. can you imagine us troops choosing to carry fake carved woden guns next to other soldiers with AK´s n shit? naw, dude. never that.

its so hard for me to exist within the emotional throws (throes?) of the capitalist system. there is no way to avoid it. it seems in my life anymore, that it is boiling down to the day to day struggles i chose to take on within this system that i am intertwined in. i feel like that weird friend of everybodys that nobody wants to listen to anymore, because everything feels like there has some kind of political agenda behind it. i cant help it...we have a right to justice, as humans, and we have the right to be left the fuck alone.

anyways...i came accross this video, and this isnt even the tip of the iceburg. iceberg? fuck, i need to write more. type more?
