"Zapatistas are those who, well, there are many forms. Some are members of the organization; others are what we call sympathizers. Thats to say they feel they are Zapatistas, and we cant deny that. They say, I am a Zapatista, well good, you are a Zapatista. Or I will collaborate in what I can, well good, collaborate. In this way there are many people who consider themselves Zapatistas and we respect these people." Comandante David

**If you message me and I don't get back to you right away, don't take it personally porfa. I'm a chronic procrastinator and a little antisocial. I appreciate your thoughts so keep them coming and I'll get back to you eventually. Might be a day, maybe a week or maybe even in the rare but not unheard of case a month or more, but I WILL get back to you. Gracias.**
