The political-military origins of the EZNL are found in the National Liberation Forces (FLN), a clandestine organization formed at the end of the 1960s in northern Mexico, inspired by the Cuban revolution, the FLN organized a guerrilla struggle with the aim of achieving the construction of socialism in Mexico. But some time later, in the early 1970s, they ended their activities abruptly when their structure in Mexico City was discovered by state security forces and many of their militants, both in Chiapas and Mexico City, were brutally assassinated. However, its survivors did not give up and managed to reorganize and settle in 1983 in Chiapas, pursuing the same objectives. However, in order to achieve their objectives, they formed the EZLN and a social base to sustain it.

The main social base of the EZLN is in the indigenous municipalities of the Cañadas region, the highlands and the northern zone of Chiapas. A large number of the commanders are indigenous and, at least since 1993, the military apparatus has been subordinated to a council of delegates from the Zapatista communities called the Clandestine Revolutionary Indigenous Clandestine Committee (CCRI). The indigenous communities in the country have a long history of exploitation, abandonment and exclusion from national political and economic life, and have strengthened their community organization, while historically leading various social movements in search of improving their living conditions, preserving their traditions and customs or for their self-determination and government; The jungle zone and the highlands of Chiapas are no exception, so the guerrilla group that arrived there found an already highly politicized indigenous society, with experience in mobilization and with permanent communication with diverse political and social organizations; The little or no response to their demands on the part of federal, state or local authorities, and the permanent violation of their fundamental rights, may explain, on the one hand, the reasons why they opted for the armed struggle in 1994. On the other hand, their growing participation in the Zapatista uprising reinforced the indigenous character of the EZLN, which quickly integrated their demands in its program and discourse, which generated that during the negotiations with the federal government, a process was initiated to establish a new relationship between the State and the indigenous peoples of the country. The EZLN, on behalf of the national indigenous movement, incorporated the demands and proposals of the various indigenous representations of the country.

Being the indigenous peasants “support bases” for the EZLN, we can highlight five forms of cooperation between these two groups: safeguarding the clandestinity of the insurgents; recruiting new combatants; guaranteeing supplies to sustain the guerrillas; participating in protest mobilizations; and carrying out collective infrastructure work and (inter)community services. These functions strengthen the bonds of (inter)community solidarity, increase social integration and strengthen a “Zapatista identity”.

In the 1994 uprising in Chiapas, the EZLN demanded the vindication of the ownership of the lands taken from the indigenous communities, a better distribution of wealth and the participation of the different ethnic groups in the organization of the state and the country; the reaction of the federal government was to send troops to Chiapas to quell the rebellion. The mobilizations of the civil society stopped the attacks and after 12 days of armed conflict, the federal government unilaterally declared a ceasefire.

The talks between the EZLN and the federal government ended with the signing in February 1996 of the San Andres Accords on “Indigenous Rights and Culture”, which committed the State to recognize indigenous peoples constitutionally and to grant them autonomy. The dialogues also gave rise to the foundation of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) on October 12, 1996, a movement of indigenous peoples, neighborhoods, tribes, nations, collectives and organizations, with the slogan “Never again a Mexico without us” and with the objective of the integral reconstitution of the indigenous peoples. In March 1995, the Commission for Concord and Pacification (COCOPA), a bicameral legislative commission made up of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies and Senate, was formed to assist in the dialogue process.

Shortly after they were signed, the San Andres Accords were ignored by President Ernesto Zedillo. A policy of encirclement and siege, organized by the federal and local governments with the support of landowners and cattle ranchers, organized paramilitary forces trained by the army itself and allocated considerable resources to the cooptation of citizens and groups, while at the same time accentuating the expulsion of opponents from their lands and villages.

COCOPA, which was charged with drafting a proposal for constitutional reform that would include the main consensuses established in the San Andres Accords, presented its initiative to the parties in November 1996; the EZLN accepted the proposal; the President, although he accepted it at first, soon proposed modifications that substantially changed the proposal, without recognizing the rights of the indigenous peoples, and without recognizing any compromise. The peace process became bogged down.

In 2003, the EZLN announced the creation of Los Caracoles and the Good Government Councils, which reinforced the principle of “commanding by obeying”, -they listen, do, decide and command, obeying the communities and their territorial organizations-, and in the autonomy they allow to propose a strong project of networks with national and international possibilities. Since its creation, Zapatista teachers and doctors have been trained and schools and clinics have been built. In addition, a justice system has been developed which is used by both Zapatistas and other members of society, as it is more efficient than the institutional system.

The Caracoles, in the words of Pablo González Casanova, “open new possibilities of resistance and autonomy for the indigenous peoples of Mexico and the world, a resistance that includes all social sectors that fight for democracy, freedom and justice for all”.

give balatro GOTY it would be so fucking funny

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anything other than SotE on principle that I don’t want a DLC to win because they specifically made an exception for it and it’s so fucking boring if it takes it home after Elden Ring already won GOTY—but specifically Balatro because it makes everyone except for Northernlion and his audience mad. It’s not like it’s even a joke pick, it’s like, it took up most of my playtime in the year therefore it’s a contender.

Just now finding out that my gf seems to think her putting all this effort in and money down in buying a home means I should be entitled to a big fat fucking nothing in the event that we break up, even if I've been paying into it for years matt-jokerfied

It's "like I'm renting" according to her agony-shrooms

Where did all this fucking liberal bullshit come from.

If we're there for 5 years I'll have put over 50k into it not including labor and money spent on things other than the mortgage

so libs in my life keep insisting there was 'election fraud', talking about 'turnout was at record highs but votes were not, where did the votes go???' or something like that (i didn't engage to ask for sources), is there even a shred of evidence for this or what? i assume if there was any real evidence my fellow filthy commies would have been posting about it by now, i don't think its a stretch that the 4th Reich voted for 100% Hitler (Fanta flavored) over 99.999% Hitler (Blue Fanta flavored), and everything i've glanced over here seemed to suggest reduced turnout, not 'record turnout'.

[–] blipblip@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

They've just decided there was record turnout, there's no proof of this. It's as simple as Biden got x number of votes so Kamala should get x+some more. They're likely also still using the number of votes that were in when it was called for Trump, ignoring that there was several million votes left to count in places like Cali that have been added to kamala's total since then.

Literally qanon levels of delusion.

In gaming news, it seems S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is a gigantic mess anyways, so any fans of the originals upset at the ties to Azov and other fascist groups don't have to worry about what could have been.

let me preface this by saying that they have an insulated, heated coop

but

goddamn have these birds been mad about the weatherbird-screm-2 just screaming every time it rains, screaming about it not being warm enough when they leave the run, screaming whenever they see a human or a dog (dogs often portend a human)

wishing for a nice, long cold snap to kill off the hornets and acclimate these birds. usually they're pretty easy to tune out but they've been very extremely on one and it's getting old, and I'm sure the fact that it's only cold for a day or two before it gets back into the 60s isn't helping

do any of your animal friends think you control the weather, too?

Just heard a crazy 9/11 conspiracy theory that a bunch of people all simultaneously decided to take flying lessons, sneak weapons past airport security, and hijack a bunch of planes. Sorry, the most rational explanation is that the windows were cleaned that day and the pilots couldn’t see there were buildings there.

The Zapatista’s went through a reconfiguration like last year but I’ve heard very mixed sources on what that means. Wikipedia says that the rebel autonomous zones are gone but other sources have said otherwise. Could someone send me some sources/articles?

I liked hearing Musk’s little argument about the universe being a simulation, it boils down to since computational power always increases it must be unbounded. Which is fun because besides thinking you can reduce the question to computing power and a calculus problem, it also gets the calculus problem wrong.

My parents continuing quest to make their house as ugly as possible has hit the kitchen. They're gonna paint the lower half of the wall black and upper half white. They painted their bedroom hospital teal and got a black bedspread with red polka dots. When getting the place re sided they made it two different colours split horizontal and they're different shades of Grey. It is really interesting how terrible their since of aesthetics is.

There was a hackathon in my uni recently and one of the groups' project was to build an "AI service that reads text messages/communications and determines whether or not sexual assault/harassment."

The judge put in a childrens song and the program decided that it was sexual harassment with a high level of certainty.

Just 5 more years.
