Re: AUT: Re:Sylvie and George

[bhandari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Rakesh Bhandari)]

I would like to add that by raising questions about the *possible* symbolic
significance of Chiapas (indian assertion or, even better, post-Leninist
forms of action), I did not mean to short-circuit discussion of  the very
powerful ab irato critique of EZLN. I found the history of the implantation
strategy and the structure of the EZLN, including its refusal of support to
guerrila actions it does not control (including by "fellow" indians), to be
a tremendously important contribution. And I think there has to be a more
substantive reply to this critique than the suggestion that it reeks of so
called first world cynicism. In short, I had no intention of
short-circuiting a discussion of the grave problems in the first world
support lent to the EZLN.
Best,
Rakesh
