COMIENZA UNA NUEVA ERA. ZAPATISMO COMO MODELO DE GOBIERNO Y DE VIDA
Con el tema de gobierno autonomo Zapatista , ayer se hizo historia pues
se llevó acabo uno de los eventos más relevantes de mi vida y de la
vida de los demás, pues los maestros Zapatistas regidos por 7 principios
básicos para gobernar , nos dieron cátedra via stream, de cómo se
gobierna de manera eficaz pura y limpia estos 7 principios deberían de
ser modelo a seguir para erradicar al mal gobierno en todas partes del
mundo . Mandar obedeciendo ¡ si obedeciendo y las necesidades del
pueblo ¡ , el pueblo es que gobierna en las comunidades chapanecas , la
comunicación es una de las bases más importantes de este sistema de
gobierno y el pueblo empapado en todos los procesos no permiten ningún
tipo de abuso y con errores también se aprende . allí manda el pueblo y
el gobierno obedece . Nos ensenaron lo que algunos ya conocemos , que la
colectividad es la base de desarrollo en toda comunidad , la
competencia es la ruina , trabajar en colectivo produce avance ,
trabajar individual y de manera egoísta es fracaso y distorsión en todo
ámbito , personal y comunal .
Estos compas Maestros Zapatista con
humildad y corazón nos desglosaron perfectamente y con sus experiencia
vidas los 7 principos fundamentales que rigen este gobierno Zapatista :
-OBEDECER Y NO MANDAR
-REPRESENTAR Y NO SUPLANTAR
-BAJAR Y NO SUBIR
-SERVIR Y NO SERVIRSE
-CONCENCER Y NO VENCER

SUMMARY OF THE MONDAY SESSION
The
Zapatista Freedom School online got started this Monday! The first
session was on autonomy. “We know that autonomy is a dream, an utopia
for some people, but in here it is a reality for us. We are already
exercising autonomy, and what we can tell about autonomy is that there
is no recipe for it. You should not ask for freedom to the government,
you should exercise your freedom. We have seen that it is possible.”
Seven Zapatistas talked to the participants online for two hours. Then, after a 15 mins break, they answered questions.
They first talked about the seven principles of their government:
1. To lead by obeying
2. To represent; not to impersonate
3. To work from below and not seeking to rise
4. To serve; not to self-serve
5. To persuade; not to conquer
6. To build; not to destroy
7. To propose; not to impose
“To us, the government is a body that provides a service to the people, not a way to make money for yourself.”
Following these principles, they have a governing board which rules by
representing the people, not by conquering their will. They talked about
how they organize themselves by obeying the people, listening to the
people. “In the capitalistic system all the government officers take
office to serve themselves and become rich,” they explained. “For us,
ruling is about providing a service. We think that life is healthier in
an autonomous community. An autonomous community is a community with
future.”
They say that no one will give you freedom, the freedom
that the government "gives" you is deceiving, because in the end the
government tells you what to do. The real freedom is an autonomous,
collective government.
The collective government is at every level,
every instance. They have three main instances: the Good Government
Boards, the Watching Committee and the Reporting Committees.
With a
rotating positions system, each member of the board serves for three
years. “We don’t call them ‘Good Government Boards’ just because they
say so,” our Zapatista teachers explained, but because they have a
structure to make sure the board represents the community. Each board is
monitored by the other committees (the Watching Committee and the
Reporting Committee). For example, regarding the financial resources
(which belong to the community), “not only each good governing board
informs about the financial status but we also have financial watching
committees on all the money and resources that come in and how they are
administered, because we don’t want to repeat the experience on how we
were before 1994, with bad governments”.
So it not just the board
saying "we did this and this" but they have another committee
supervising them. There is a connection and constant communication
between all the committees.
“ The other principle is that we do not
order or win over the people. We persuade, never defeat the people. If
one of our authorities is not complying with our seven principles, the
people bring that to his/her attention. He/she has the opportunity to
correct it because we are humans and people make mistakes, but if that
person do not correct the mistake, then he/she is demoted…that's how we
have conquered our freedom. Conquering freedom is about exercising our
autonomy. Our autonomy comes from ourselves.”
They also talked
about the duties, responsibilities and rights of each government board.
member. They must listen to the people’s proposals, they should propose
necessary proposals and explain to the people why they think a proposal
is necessary, and each proposal must be discussed by all the committees
and consulting with the people. “The capitalistic system does not
respect the people’s opinion, they think they don’t know how to think,
so they don’t ask. The capitalistic government officers think they are
above us, so they don’t want to listen. We don’t think like that. Each
officer serves the people and when their term is over they go back to
their community activities. So for us our principle is about going
below, not above the people to rule.”
They explained they have
developed this autonomous structure over the years. First the War of
1810, then the Mexican Revolution in 1910 (Zapata’s), and then the
Zapatista Uprising in 1994, each period learning something better,
adding up. When someone asked them if there have been military
confrontations lately in response to the paramilitary attacks, they said
the way they are defending themselves right now is just “bearing and
resisting, because we know that in the future these people will realize
that this is the better way of living, - some of them have already
realized it, and we are not confronting them with weapons. We don’t
respond to the attacks because we know it is not them, but the
government strategy so that Indians kill each other. We are not going to
do that.”
After a 2-hour talk and a 15-min break, there was a 2-hour session answering the questions that participants made via chat.
They also said that another Government Board duty is to take care of
all the property “because they must know what natural resources and
material goods we have”.
All their property. resources and money
belongs to everybody. There is no such thing as “inheriting” the land in
one family as private property.
Regarding the “ejidos” the coop
systems in land, they said that “unfortunately these systems are not
valid in terms of representing the people because they still require
government officers’ permission and authority, which we don’t recognize.
For us, after the Zapatista Army National Liberation, the life of the
community changed dramatically. The Good Government Boards must
administer the lands that were repossessed by us after the 1994
revolution. The Good Government administers them so that everything we
have is for all the people: the land, the water, all the resources.”
They provided a detailed explanation on their government structure.
This is the agenda for the next sessions:
Tuesday – Women’s Government
Wednesday – Resistance (financial resistance against a capitalistic system and resistance from paramilitary attacks)
Thursday – Justice
Friday – Democracy.
During the Q&A session there were interesting questions, like how
they managed to eradicate alcoholism in their communities.
These
sessions are in Spanish with limited English translation online at 10
pm, but we will try to keep you updated, we will get the School
materials and DVD’s and get them translated into English for our OWS
fellows. If you have questions and/or messages to them, you may send
them to us and I’ll translate them.
