History
The origins of Zapatism traces back to the 1910's during the Mexican Revolution with its namesake, General Emiliano Zapata Salazar, an 
Agrarian revolutionary who led the Liberation Army of the South in the fight against the national government to reclaim stolen communal lands. The army disbanded after the government of Venustiano Carranza was overthrown.
Decades later, in 1994, the Chiapas conflict began with the Zapatista uprising, caused by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN). This 
libertarian socialist militant group borrowed its name from the Zapatismo, believing themselves to be its successor. Although they do not align with any political classification, they support 
alter-globalization and 
indigenism, and are strictly against 
neoliberalism and 
capitalism. Since their initial uprising was crushed by the Mexican military, the group has since attempted to gain both Mexican and international support through avoiding military offensives. Today, the group claims a large area of Chiapas called the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities, a 
socialist 
confederation run by a 
democratically-elected council.
