A member of a revolutionary group in Chiapas in southern
Mexico, which fights against neo-liberalism and for self-determination by the local indigenous peoples. It has an armed
wing, the EZLN, and a political
wing, the FZLN.
The Zapatistas have become iconic in the
anti-capitalist movement, especially through their enigmatic figurehead, Subcomandante
Marcos, who wears a ski-mask and writes
almost poetic works of theory/strategy.
