The Zapatista Movement and the anti-passive revolution practice: constructing the autonomous project
Davi Matias Marra Demuner
This research explores the struggle of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in southern Mexico, in order to understand how the social forces of production relations strategically participate in the formation of its project for autonomy. The analysis is guided by historical materialism, aiming to verify how collective action can overcome contemporary fragmentation and transform the dominant structure of capitalism toward an emancipatory model of socialization. From this perspective, Zapatista autonomous practice is promoted in a way that breaks with the foundations of passive revolution, which Antonio Gramsci posits as a phenomenon that establishes the maintenance subalternity of popular sectors.
