#TalDíaComoHoy, un 1 de enero de 1994, se inició una rebelión de 12 días encabezada por el grupo armado Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional en el estado mexicano de Chiapas, que alcanzó difusión internacional debido a sus demandas de justicia y reivindicación de los de rechos de los pueblos indígenas de México y de los pobres.

Tras levantarse en armas, los zapatistas tomaron como trinchera los asentamientos indígenas, sitios de usos y costumbres de Chiapas. De esta forma surgen los Caracoles (comunidades autónomas) en varias regiones rurales. Con ello el #EZLN pasa a una nueva etapa y organiza sus propios territorios conforme a su manera de entender la autonomía y el autogobierno. Funda cinco Caracoles, regidos por Juntas de Buen Gobierno.
«Está usted en territorio zapatista. Aquí el pueblo manda y el gobierno obedece».
¿Qué es lo que mantiene viva a esta gente si ha tenido, y tiene, todo en contra? ¿No son acaso los eternos perdedores, los que yacen mientras otros levantan sus gobiernos, sus museos, sus estatuas, sus «triunfos históricos»? ¿No son los damnificados de todas las catástrofes, la carne de cañón de todas las revoluciones que se hacen para «salvarlos» de sí mismos? ¿Los extranjeros en la tierra que los vio nacer? ¿El objeto de burlas, desprecios, limosnas, caridades, programas de gobierno, proyectos «sustentables», directrices, proclamas y programas revolucionarios? ¿No son los analfabetos irremediables a los que hay que educar, dirigir, ordenar, mandar, sojuzgar, doblegar, dominar, c-i-v-i-l-i-z-a-r?
¿Qué es lo que construyen aquí?
«Comunidades zapatistas» se llaman, se autodenominan, se saben.
¿Perdieron? ¿Quiénes? No esta gente, está claro.
«Aunque el camino será largo, aquí seguiremos», ratifica el grafiti que La Realidad araña en el muro. Ese muro es tan largo que hacen falta 500 años para recorrerlo.
Treinta años de dignidad rebelde.

"The #Mayan peoples’ traditional homelands were recovered after the armed uprising of the #Zapatista Army of National Liberation (#EZLN) in 1994 and are concrete evidence of how #Zapatismo in #Chiapas has improved the living conditions of the communities based on organization, autonomy, and #SelfDetermination."

TL:DR: I'm mostly posting this intro to connect with other Black and BIPOC Anarchists or Anti-authoritarians. Hit me up!
Hey, everyone
My partner and I are currently working on a docuseries, @Elememts_of_MA, about the origins, structures, healing ways, and logistics of mutual aid-based organizing. The project isn't exclusively profiling anarchist groups, but it is deeply anti-authoritarian - we're especially staying away from charismatic leaders and celeb "activist" types.
The whole thing is independent - no producers; everything is out of pocket. We've been living out of a van we converted so we could make this happen; which has been amazing. We've been on the road since May Day this year, and have already filmed some solid interviews as far north as Montreal and as far south as Puerto Rico.
However, I'm personally struggling to find Black organizations or collectives that aren't MLM, AADOS, authoritarian, Black Capitalist, nonprofit style groups. Reading and theory groups or media collectives are rad, but I'm really looking for groups that're doing interesting work on the ground (*not food distro*) from an anti-state-nationalist analysis.
Lorenzo and JoNina Irvin will appear in the film, among other radical Black people like Jessica Gordon Nembhard, The Northeast Action Collective in Houston, and Arm the Girls in Oakland. So, I'm not at a complete loss.
But, please send me all the rad groups of Black people you know that are creating long-term, democratic, mutual aid projects in their communities. They do not need to identify as anarchist, but they *cannot* be down with the nation state and have to be doing more than food distro.
Thanks a ton, y'all.
Beyond all that, I'm also really interested in connecting with people to write Star Wars analysis and fan-fiction. I think the galaxy far, far away is an interesting canvas to explore the tensions of autonomous world building vs authoritarian revolutionary movements. If I lived in that universe, I'd no doubt be getting into arguments with the Rebel Alliance.
Thanks for reading this long-winded post.
