Subcommander Galeano of the EZLN released a statement today detailing the illegal detainment of two members of EZLN on September 11. Galeano then went on to state that the Government of Chiapas, headed by Rutilio Escandon of the PVEM, is guilty of several other crimes including aiding and abetting narcos and backing paramilitary violence in the towns of Santa Martha and Aldama, in the Chiapas Highlands. Galeano concluded by stating "Given the state and federal authorities' actions and omissions regarding this crime and all the others that preceded it, we will take any relevant measures to ensure that the ORCAO criminals and any functionaries who back them face justice. That is all. Next time, there will be no statement. There will be no words: only facts."

      The problem you have there is that nobody agrees on what is good and what is actually reactionary or even in acting as compradors in league with the US. Rojava and the Philippines both get hotly debated.

      There are examples that wouldn't be contested, like the MLs fighting in Tigray.
