The Zapatistas smashed the neo-liberal triumphalism of the 90s and reinvigorated a global left that was still in retreat following the fall of the Soviet Union. Using the name of the legendary Emiliano Zapata, Indigenous communities in Southern Mexico built a rebellion that foisted them into the history books and reminded a generation that another world is possible.
They built a movement that went beyond protest becoming a permanent movement that included everyone through the participatory democracy they practiced in their self-governing communities. As the old Zapatista slogan goes, "Here the people govern, and the government obeys".
