The bad governments, which belong to the entirety of the political
spectrum without a single exception, have done everything possible to
destroy us, to buy us off, to make us surrender... As was made evident on December 21, 2012, all of them failed...
A new
form of social life is blooming in Zapatista territory, Chiapas, Mexico.
This is a flowering that attracts the attention of honest people all
over the planet...
It will be up to the people of Mexico who organize in electoral
struggles and resist, to decide if they will continue to see us as
enemies or rivals upon which to take out their frustration over the
frauds and aggressions that, in the end, affect all of us, and if in
their struggle for power they continue to ally themselves with our
persecutors; or if they finally recognize in us another form of doing
politics.
