An Uprising Against the Inevitable
April 14, 2006
In 2005 the EZLN came out with the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle, that sets out a bold set of political definitions: it declares the movement anti-capitalist (in those terms) and describes neoliberal globalization as a global war of conquest. The objective is to free organized discontent from the reductive trap of electoral politics that fails to offer an alternative to neoliberal model. The second goal is to articulate these struggles and the third is to develop a more precise reading of the national situation from below, a constant in the Zapatistas’ four forays out of the jungle.
