EZLN, the favorite example of Anarchists and revisionists of an alternative to Marxism-Leninism, has now collapsed due to lack of solid theoretical fundamentals.

Marxism-Leninism is the consistent science of the liberation of the working masses, and no viable alternatives have been seen to date.

Celebrating when our indigenous comrades suffer a setback in self-determination is not a good look. As MLs we should support their fight against Capital even if it doesn't precisely follow doctrine. There's much to be learned from Zapatismo.

The Zapatistas don't even call themselves Anarchists or claim n Anarchist lineage. Don't be smug against them just to own terminally online anarchists

And who's to say Zapatismo can't Evolve like other branches of socialist ideology?

There should no one be celebrating or going "I told you so", we need more unity and we can learn from one another

it seems they're just moving toward what Marxists Leninists are doing

I don't think anybody is saying that, and we all hope that Zapatismo can and will evolve based on their current experience.
