Just wanted to be clear, nitpicking their praxis from the comfort of my couch isn't a denigration of their work. Rojava is doing something amazing. They've managed to make a relative utopia out of a horrible situation and they've advanced the cause greatly in their efforts. I have nothing but respect and admiration for their struggle.
I had no idea things were shaping up so poorly for the zapatistas. Hopefully they get their shit together, it'd be a shame for their legacy to be so underwhelming. I'm gonna have to look into all that a bit more. Got any recommendations?
Unfortunately, the last time I did a deep dive on the Zapatistas, I was in college, and had access to journals. Let me see what I can dig up now.
No worries if you can't find anything/don't the time! I appreciate the conversation nonetheless
This is one of the first critical pieces I read back when I first started researching them. Unfortunately I can't find any free scholarly articles that look familiar/trigger the old memory muscle, and I'm not quite in the mood to read dozens of articles in a search query looking for one that doesn't say "Zapatista" once and then 29 pages of unrelated stuff on populist movements.
Fucking JSTOR search, lmao.
