    You have to be embarrassingly ignorant of the reality on the ground in Chiapas to imagine for a second that this is true.

    Unfortunately for your argument, I happen to know a thing or two about Chiapas, lived and worked there for upwards of a year in the mid 90s, and have no idea WTF you’re talking about.

    Do tell?

    If you’re on the Subcommandante Marcos bandwagon, I cordially enjoin you to go fuck yourself.

    Marcos was no more than an opportunistic interloper who tried to jump into a much older indegenio fight as a self-aggrandizing and self-appointed power grab.

    At no point in time was it ever the case that he was accurately representing the Lacandon as an honest and disinterested party.

      Maybe take a couple of deep breaths and calm down before you post on the internet? It’s an example of self-governed autonomous and democratic communities. If you disagree with that maybe you can explain why it’s wrong instead of throwing a fit. Also, maybe you should read up more on what you’re talking about because you didn’t even use the correct name nor seem to know the meaning of the word Subcommandante.
