Indigenous Struggle

Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a gang member in Neza, a rocker in the National University, a Jew in Germany, an ombudsman in the Defense Ministry, a communist in the post-Cold War era, an artist without gallery or portfolio.... A pacifist in Bosnia, a housewife alone on Saturday night in any neighborhood in any city in Mexico, a striker in the CTM, a reporter writing filler stories for the back pages, a single woman on the subway at 10 pm, a peasant without land, an unemployed worker... an unhappy student, a dissident amid free market economics, a writer without books or readers, and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains of southeast Mexico. So Marcos is a human being, any human being, in this world. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalized and oppressed minorities, resisting and saying, 'Enough'!

Subcomandante Marcos

These sentences from 1994 are one of the best known quotes of Zapatista key figure Subcomandante Marcos. Surely, he has to be a retarted homosexual as per the Mexican media's storm after these words. Being the biggest abnormality for the mass society, in duplex aberration - a gay revolutionary - it is a certain sign of insanity. The XXI. century is the dust bin of world history, all ideas of the IXX. century are recycled and fed to the audience by nihilist enlightement staging sermons of democracy.

Equality would never deny the diversity of minds, but post modern tolerance is levelling peoples to ensure economic control. Buy and be free, consume and be a better human being. Eat shit and die happy.
