The revolucion was influence by anarquists from the south. Ricardo flores magon was borin in oaxaca, his friend Praxedis guerrero was born in guanajuato.

[tlamatinime1]

Zapatas idiology was influenced by indigenous tradicion and anarquist by mexico. the slogan "morir de pie a vivir de rrodillas" " die in your feet then to live in your knees" is a slogan made by our last tlatoani Cuauhtemoc before his capture. and "tierra o libertad" was influence by the anarquists of mexico. specially Ricardo Flores magon who wrote the Manifesto of the mexican revolucion.

Cowards.Pussies.Losers.Pissant­s.Sissies. Weaklings.Fools.Morons. Oh, by the way, I am just suggesting some new names for when everyone figures out that libertarian socialist means bitch just like democrat, or liberal, or progressive(man that one didn't last long did it?) or communist, or leftist, or whatever. To those of us on the right, all of you whining bitches are the same! In war, there are people on my side,there are noncombatants, and then there are the damned. Hey, you can always convert

[freeboots]

Zapata was influenced at least partly by anarchist from Northern Mexico and the city of El Paso named Ricardo Flores Magón. The influence of Magón on Zapata can be seen in the Zapatismo Plan de Ayala, but even more noticeably in the Zapatista slogan "Tierra y libertad" or "land and liberty," the title and maxim of Magón's most famous work. Zapata's introduction to anarchism also came via a local schoolteacher, Otilio Montano, who exposed Zapata to the works of Peter Kropotkin and Flores Magón..

[fede2]

wow, that last bit blew me away. that's really important because it avoids the problems of past left-wing revolutionary movements that through populist euphamisms and counter-revolutionary paranoia became highly authoritarian and genocidal.

[TheLeftLibertarian]

I just read the book, Bakunin by Mark Leier. It's worth checking out if you get a chance.

[AnarchistOnTheRise]

Great video

[ilchema]

is not bad but there are two mistakes: zapata never have an anarquist or socialist ideology. ( there was a battle between anarquist industrial workers and zapatists peasant trops in the entrance of the mexico city).

but un of the supporters of zapata, the intelectual Soto y Gama had the greatest solcialist library of mexico at that time.

[blunt1984]

Well, his plan for land reform seemed a bit socialist to me.

I don't know why the EZLN would name itself in honor of Zapata if his views weren't in anyway libertarian socialist.

Zapata was partly influenced by an anarchist from Northern Mexico named Ricardo Flores Magón. The influence of Magón on Zapata can be seen in the Zapatismo Plan de Ayala, but even more noticably in the Zapatista slogan "Tierra y libertad" or "land and liberty," the title and maxim of Magón's most famous work . Zapata's introduction to anarchism came via a local schoolteacher, Otilio Montano, who exposed Zapata to the works of Peter Kropotkin and Flores Magón .

@blunt1984 Because Zapata supported an agrarian reform where every land would be given to the peasants that worked it, without any kind of institutionalized processes: everything he wanted was land, land for his people.

If Zapata and Villa (either together or any of them) had triumphed over the traitors of Madero, Huerta or Carranza, Mexico would now be a totally decentralized state. Neither Zapata nor Villa wanted power in politics, only freedom...

[ZYKLONBKILLSHITLER]

@ilchema That battle was a joke. I have no respect for those said Mexican Anarchists

[Irtidad]

Hey I just listened to this music a short while ago (cuz it was St. Pat's, not cuz I like it, which I don't particularly, no offense).

[blunt1984]

Don't worry. None taken.

[RATMagainstbush8]

what is this song?

[blunt1984]

1st Song: "Screaming at the Wailing Wall"

2nd Song: "With a Wonder and a Wild Desire"

both by Flogging Molly

[RadicalDemocracyNow]

This is a nice video comrade:-) Fuck Capitalism and Zionism(same shit). Capitalism, and all evils it causes, such as greed, war, famine, poverty, wage slavery, and more, is killing humanity!!!

[Irtidad]

In the former half of the 20th century, the dominant form of Zionism was socialist Zionism, which went hand-in-hand with labor Zionism and cultural Zionism. The Israelis even got military aid from the USSR in the 1947-1949 war to establish their state, and David Ben-Gurion (the first prime minster of Israel) spoke positively of Lenin. Just because the state of Israel has become a satellite state of the US doesn't mean that capitalism and Zionism are the "same shit"!

[blunt1984]

You are correct about that Irtidad.

Many of the early Zionists were socialists.

[rheaann420]

@Irtidad FUCK THE CAPITALIST ZIONIST PIGS UP THE RA FREE IRELAND 26+6=1 FREE PALSTINE STOP THE OCCUPATION NOW FREE CUBA END THE ANTIQUATED OUTDATED EMBARGO DONT CONFUSE FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM AND DIEING FOR OIL KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

[daryl4classic]

As I remember, all those things you listed also existed in the USSR

[berkdrummer]

haha.. snagged it word for word

[TasinAkiwo]

Excellent work.

[AMason8634]

Great.

[legalicethegreen]

...and i missed pjotr Kropotkin in the enumeration of anarchists - I know listing everyone would have been too long ;-)

apart from that excellent work that was absolutely missing on youtube so far.

5 stars

[blunt1984]

Yes this was a condensed version since onetruemedia vids can only be 10 minutes long:)

I'm working all free/web based here:)

[legalicethegreen]

;-) funny, you made a documentation about it. very good work. please don`t feel critisized but there`s one little mistake: zapata was no anarchistisc activist wanting to establish libertarian socialism in mexico, he just heard something about the theorie and considered it very interesting, but his main interest were agricultural reforms and land for everyone (Article 27).

[blunt1984]

Well, the mainstream press/media/scholars tend to lump libertarian socialism in with anarchism (lazy with wording-LoL).

I actually said that right before I showed Chomsky.

Thanks for the more specific info.

[alargedog]

[antiminati]

Top class work once again bluntie
