    I have to relearn how to make pngs with transparent backgrounds so I can make some Subcomandante Marcos emojis. And this jokerfied Biden one. And the Grill Man with cat ears.

    Subcomandante Marcos, because the true Comandante is The People.

    Maybe it’s because this site skews ML but the Zapatistas are critically underappreciated. They’re my go to example for Socialism working in the real world (I’m a lib soc though) when talking to normal people.

    They’re fairly unknown so if you mention them to the average person who doesn’t have an automatic negative bias toward them like the USSR or China.

    They’re still expanding 25 years later and have have autonomy in their territories.

    Marcos is also an amazing poet.

      Still expanding? Last I heard the Zapatistas have essentially been in a long-standing stalemate with some retreats from previously held territory.

    One of my favorite parts about Neo-Zapatismo, and I say this completely seriously, is that you don't have to read theory:

    "Zapatismo is not an ideology, it is not a bought and paid for doctrine. It is … an intuition. Something so open and flexible that it really occurs in all places. Zapatismo poses the question:

    ‘What is it that has excluded me?’ ‘What is it that has isolated me?’

    … In each place the response is different. Zapatismo simply states the question and stipulates that the response is plural, that the response is inclusive …"
