17. november 1983

Zapatisterne (EZLN – Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) dannes i hemmelighed i den sydlige mexikanske delstat Chiapas. Efter 10 års forberedelse slår bevægelsen til med væbnet oprør nytår 1993/94.

1983exlnmaerkat.gif

Dansk:

Hvem er zapatisterne? (Internationalt Forum – Mexicogruppen; online på Internet Archive). Længere artikel: “Den nationale zapatistiske befrielseshær, også kaldet zapatisterne, indiansk oprørshær og -bevægelse i Mexicos sydligste delstat Chiapas.”

Mexico: Zapatisterne i Chiapas under angreb fra stat og narkokarteller (Autonom Infoservice, 7. januar 2024). “Nu forsøger oprørerne sig med nye organisationsformer i deres autonome fællesskaber. Baggrunden for denne omorganisering er, at flere landsbyer i Chiapas kæmper med en udefrakommende organiseret kriminalitet.”

En gnist af håb: læren af den zapatistiske revolution 25 år efter. Af Hilary Klein (Kritisk Debat, 15. juni 2019; online på DBC Webarchive). “I en periode med forhøjet polarisering i USA og på tværs af regionen er det værd at se tilbage på zapatististernes evne til at forene mange dele af samfundet under et samlende banner og deres evne til at minde os om, hvad vi har til fælles.”

National og global kamp. Af Benjamin Carl Egerod (Arbejderen.dk, 20. januar 2011). Anmeldelse af Charlie Emil Krautwald og Daniel Nikolaj Madsen: En ny tids revolutionære:  zapatisterne og den globale modstand (Forlaget Comandanta Ramona, 2010, 192 sider. 2. udgave, 2012, 200 sider). Se også anmeldelse af Esben Sørensen (pdf) (Det Ny Clarté, nr.57, maj 2013, s.57-58). Scroll ned.

EZLN – 15 års kamp: En ungdom med vrede og værdighed. Af Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos (Gaia, nr.62, forår 2009). “Mexicogruppen ønsker Zapatisterne tillykke med 15 års kamp og bringer her et forkortet uddrag af festivalens åbningstale.”

Om Zapatisternes magtopfattelse og strategi. Af Torkil Lauesen (Gaia, nr.21, sommer 1998). “Det følgende er et forsøg på at forklare og fortolke zapatisternes måde at tænke og kæmpe på.”

En ny tids revolutionære? Af Thomas Olesen (Information, Kronik, 1. august 1998). “Den zapatistiske oprørsbevægelse EZLN betragter ikke erobringen af statsmagten som
et mål. Om det er udtryk for en bevægelse i krise eller en ny måde at gøre oprør på er genstand for en vigtig debat.”

The Zapatistas after 30 years. By Pablo Verlasco (Solidarity & Workers Liberty, Issue 700, 21 February 2024). “The Zapatistas cut themselves off from the militant struggles of Mexican workers, preferring to base themselves on indigenous peasants. They failed to build united fronts with other left forces, including in the trade unions, to build a counterpower.”

At 30, the Zapatistas’ future is in question. By Dan La Botz (Solidarity, Blog, February 21, 2024). “What is the EZLN today and what are its politics? What are the prospects for the EZLN? And what is its future?”

Chiapas rebellion 30 years on: The shipwreck of Mexico’s Zapatista experiment. By Anrea Lobo (World Socialist Web Site, 7 January 2024). “Despite the dances and music at its headquarters in the Lacandon Jungle, the guerrilla group once glorified as a new beacon of hope by prominent pseudo-lefts manifests all the symptoms of an approaching breakdown.”

The Zapatistas are not a model for climate action. By Pablo Velasco (Solidarity & Workers’ Liberty, Issue 617, 6 December 2021). “Some climate campaigners are promoting the Zapatistas in Mexico as an inspiration and model for building the climate movement. This is a snare, misunderstanding Zapatista politics.”

Subcomandante Marcos: The last global ethical hero? By Dan La Botz (New Politics, Blog, September 3, 2020). Review of Nick Henck’s book (Black Rose Books, 2019, 152 p.). “If you want a handy little book … this is your book. If you want a discussion of Marcos’ ideas and his role in Mexican political life and in the global left … you will be disappointed.”

Zaptatistas: The costs of autonomy. By Dan La Botz (New Politics, Blog, June 29, 2014). Review of Bernard Duterme et al., Zapatisme: la rébellion qui dure. Alternatives du Sud (Paris, Centre Tricontinental and Éditions Syllepse, 2014). “…  this important collection of essays published in French by experts and analysts from several countries.”

Subcomandante Marcos steps down – what next for the EZLN? By Dan La Botz (New Politics, Blog, May 26, 2014). “Since the Zapatistas’ political decision-making processes are not transparent, one presumes that Marcos played a central role in shaping the EZLN’s autarkic and sectarian strategy that rejected not only Mexico’s corrupt political system and parties, but also coalitions and alliances with others on the Mexican left.”

Twenty years after the Zapatista uprising (SocialistWorker.org, January 21, 2014). “Lance Selfa and Stuart Easterling look at the roots of the Zapatista uprising and its impact on politics in Mexico and internationally in the 20 years since.”

Twenty years since the Chiapas Rebellion: The Zapatistas, their politics, and their impact. By Dan La Botz (Solidarity, Blog, January 13, 2014). “The Chiapas Rebellion led by the Zapatistas took place twenty years ago this month. What was the importance of the rebellion and of the Zapatistas? What was the impact at the time? And what has been its political legacy? What is the role of the Zapatistas in Mexico today?”

Why we loved the Zapatistas. By Bhaskar Sunkara (Jacobin, 1 January 2011). “The abandonment of Marxism had more than academic consequences.”

The Zapatistas today: an interview with John Ross (Against the Current, No.130, September/October 2007). “Ross has been reporting on Mexico and Latin America for more than two decades. He has written three books on the Zapatistas.”

On Marcos, Man and Mask. By Dan La Botz (Against the Current, No.130, September/October 2007). Review of Nick Henck, Subcommander Marcos: The Man and the Mask (Duke University Press, 2007, 525 p.). “Henck’s book is principally chronology and secondarily hagiography. The author is not simply an admirer of Marcos; he adulates him as a genius, an inspiration and the direction of the future.”

Zapatistas reenter the political fray. By Lance Selfa (International Socialist Review, Issue 44, November–December 2005). “In September, the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) launched what it called ‘the other campaign’ for social change in the lead-up to next year’s presidential elections.”

Zapatistas: What we intend to do now. Parts 1 & 2 of the 6th Declaration of the Selva Lacandona) (International Viewpoint, 19 June 2005) + Parts 3-4 (20 June) + Parts 5-6 (29 June).

The Zapatista uprising: Ten years later. By Lance Selfa and Stuart Easterling (Socialist Worker [US], January 2, 2004; online at Internet Archive). “The Zapatista movement has raised many questions that challenge the priorities of the free market. But the EZLN and Marcos himself do not believe that it is necessary to get rid of capitalism to achieve the EZLN’s goals.”

The Zapatistas: the challenges of revolution in a new millennium (International Socialism, Issue 89, Winter 2000) + Zapatistas after the Great March – a postscript. By Mike Gonzales (International Socialism, Issue 91, Summer 2001). “The Zapatista movement in Mexico has appealed to some in the anti-capitalist movement as a new method of organisation against global capital. Mike Gonzalez looks at the past inspiration for the movement and its current potential.”

Zapatistas: The ‘first post-modernist guerilla group’? (Trotskyist International, Issue 18, October-December 1995). “Keith Harvey looks at the Zapatistas’ recent evolution and argues that there has always been a reformist logic behind the revolutionary rhetoric.”

“The Zapatistas have opened our eyes” (Socialist Review, No.177, July/August 1994). “The uprising early this year by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation has shaken the Mexican ruling class and echoed round the world. Augusta Dwyer spoke to leading militants of the movement about their struggle.”
