Hola Camaradas:

to Change the World Without Taking Power".

Two quick critiques that have been written on Holloway and the EZLN have
regarding the "without taking power":

1) If the zapatistas are a new model of revolution, how come they use an old
guerrilla structures? "Ejercito", "Sub-Comandante", etc.

2) If neo-zapatismo is about not-taking power, why did it organize the
Zapatista caravan to Mexico City and the indigenous laws through the
channels of "power"? For example, asking permission from established
political parties to entter Congress to give Marcos the right to speak.

por el socialismo,
Erik Torén
