    The difference in the Zapatista Rebellion of 1990 was that it consisted of different people and style of approach to the issues they were fighting for. To start off, the Zapatista consisted of more indigenous people who were focused on land reforms, whereas the Mexican Revolution consisted of working class and less Indigenous people. The reason could be that those who were fighting the revolution thought of themselves to be more "educated" and this could have affected their views when compared to the Indigenous people. The second difference is how the movement was inspired, which can be understood because the Mexican Revolution was more based off of communism. Whereas the Zapatista Rebellion was more military based and it can be seen through…

    On January 1, 2004, over one thousand people in the mountain hamlet of Oventic, Chiapas, celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) rebellion with song and dance. Thus, it seems a fitting time to take stock of the successes and failures of the Zapatista movement in the context of its original goals. While the EZLN has been able to establish thirty eight autonomous indigenous communities in Chiapas, it has failed to weaken the Mexican government 's commitment to neo-liberal economic policies. In the following pages, we will explore those factors which enabled the Zapatistas to establish regions of autonomy and extrapolate from Theotonio Dos Santos ' understanding of the effects of reliance on foreign capital and Nora Hamilton 's analysis of the 'limits to state autonomy ' to rationalize the failure of the Zapatista 's broader vision of social justice.…
