You can negotiate while still working towards a wider goal.
The reason autonomous zones aren’t crushed immediately is that the perceived cost of doing so is higher than the alternative. The alternative being, a bloody affair in the papers that has potential to cause wider unrest.
Revolutionaries can take advantage of that, to create a space for organising a wider project.
Autonomous zones have existed for decades and they haven't really done shit on a broader scale. In reality they just become a cool place for people to smoke weed, or in the case of Chiapas, grow overpriced coffee.
Lmao imagine comparing the USSR to fucking Freetown Christiania. Every single one of these autonomous zones except Rojava is nothing more than a neighborhood. Rojava only exists because the PKK (who were MLs for a very long time) has been organizing a vanguard and army for decades, and they received "assistance" from the US to establish a friendly zone within Syria.
They "control" more territory than the white anarchist zones but their "autonomy" is still conditional and they still rely on the Mexican state to a degree. It's not really a sustainable or scalable method of liberation

A ceasefire isn’t the same as a capitulation.

Don’t the Zapatistas control like half of Chiapas?

tbh, that's fine, I don't think it necessarily needs to be.
