Me personally, I find the EZLN fascinating. (if there is anything bad about them, let me know because I do not know much bad things about them)
They are one of the few movements that anarchists praise that I actually think are based, although the Zapatistas have told westerners to stop calling them anarchists, communists, or anything else.
They also fight against drug cartels and seem to have created one of the most stable territories in the Chiapas region.
However, they are too small to do anything big like overthrowing the Mexican government. They would be crushed quickly.
Give me your thoughts on the EZLN and/or, as the title suggests, any non-ML movements that you support.
I guess prohibition didn’t really succeed, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth supporting.
I’d rather support the prohibition of advertising alcohol. That alone would probably destroy the market in a generation.
Exactly. Target alcohol as the cigarette industry was targeted.
Don’t ban it, but associate it in people’s minds with cancer, pain, alcoholism, drunk driving, death.

I feel like any sort of prohibition is one of those things that sound incredible on paper, but rarely have any logistical or material chance in succeeding, and end in an ultimate failure.
It’s better to undermine the societal and cultural mechanisms that purport the problems posed by things like drugs, sex, and alcohol; rather then trying to magically ban it and create a criminal element out of a portion of the population.
sex is a problem! Volcel gang!!
Volcel Police Vs the Sex Workers Union
A battle for the ages.
synthesis: give sex workers union, as people who have been directly exposed to the negative effects of sex, unilateral control over society
