Rebel leader slams Mexican presidential hopeful Lopez Obrador

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Zapatista rebel leader Subcomandante Marcos issued a blistering criticism on Sunday of Mexico's leftist front-runner in the 2006 presidential race, Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, accusing him of being authoritarian and overly ambitious.

The rebel leader -- who had previously defended Lopez Obrador against attempts to knock him out of the presidential race -- went so far as to compare the mayor to widely despised former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

"We believe there are the seeds of authoritarianism and a personal project that goes beyond a single term," Marcos said of the mayor's administration in a com

munique dated June, 2005 "from the mountains of Southeastern Mexico."

"The image that Lopez Obrador has created of Carlos Salinas de Gortari is, in reality, a mirror."

"Unlike what many people think, Lopez Obrador won't offer a return to the populism of the past," Marcos wrote, criticizing the mayor for moving toward the political center. "No, he will offer a 'modern' administration (which means doing the unfinished work of Salinas de Gortari)."

Salinas de Gortari left Mexico in disgrace after the currency and economy crashed following his 1988-1994 term. Lopez Obrador frequently accuses the former president of being at the center of a vast, shadowy right-wing conspiracy aimed at preserving his power long after his term ended.

Marcos led a 1994 uprising by the Zapatistas in southern Chiapas state in the name of Indian rights. The movement has long condemned the nation's three main political parties, including Lopez Obrador's Democratic Revolution Party.

In a March statement, Marcos opposed efforts to strip Lopez Obrador of his immunity from prosecution, calling it a "preventative coup" aimed at keeping the mayor out of the 2006 race, which he leads in the polls.

But even then he was careful to say he didn't support Lopez Obrador, whom he described as "left-of-right (and maybe not even that.)"

The Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO) - a longtime partner of Grassroots International based in Mexico - denounced a recently conducted study in the Zapotec region by U.S. geography scholar Peter Herlihy. Prof. Herlihy failed to mention that he received funding from the Foreign Military Studies Office of the U.S. Armed Forces. The failure to obtain full, free and prior informed consent is a violation of the rights of indigenous communities as codified in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples adopted by the United Nations in 2007. In addition, UNOSJO fears that this in-depth geographical mapping of indigenous communities may be used in some harmful manner by the military.

Residential schools, as part of the colonial project, were made to create a disciplined working class out of Indigenous peoples. They were made to impose capitalism and cultural ideas that supported the project of the Capitalists. This article furthers the discussion of how the genocide and colonization of North America was part of the overall oppression and exploitation of the contemporary working class. This article is an anarchist response to the apologies of Settler governments in |Canada and Australia.

It is written after the apogee of the Oaxaca rebellion, but with the certainty that this movement is not over, that in one form or another the struggle that began in 2006 will continue. Our analysis is presented in the hope that will shed some light on Oaxaca before the uprising is mythologized (by anti-authoritarians); distorted (by all the Leninist vanguards who, in their arrogance, are eager to impart their stern “lessons” to the “masses” in Oaxaca); or simply fades away, far from the glare of the proverbial media spotlight.

The traditional society of the Rotinonshón:ni (Iroquois), "The People of the Longhouse," was a densely settled, matrilineal, communal, and extensively horticultural society. The Rotinonshón:ni formed a confederacy of five nations. Generations before historical contact with Europeans, these nations united through the Kaianere'kó:wa into the same polity and ended blood feuding without economic exploitation, stratification, or the formation of a centralized state.

Normally the settlement of claims to property are something the court system takes very seriously. The very foundation of capitalism after all is that some person can claim ownership of a piece of land, and through that ownership charge others rent to use it explains Andrew Fleming. [ Nederlands ]
