EZLN (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional)
Banyak kalangan menganggap bahwa gerakan Zapatista merupakan revolusi pasca-modern pertama: sebuah kelompok revolusioner bersenjata yang antikekerasan yang menggunakan teknologi modern telepon satelit dan internet sebagai suatu cara untuk menggalang dukungan domestik dan luar negeri. Mereka menganggap dirinya sebagai bagian dari gerakan antiglobalisasi yang lebih luas.
Zapatista menuai perhatian dunia karena daya inspirasinya yang mereka sebar sejak awal. Zapatista mengangkat senjata bukan untuk merebut kekuasaan, tapi untuk menciptakan sebuah ruang demokratis dimana pertentangan antar pandangan politik yang berbeda-beda bisa dibicarakan. Mereka ingin menunjukan kepada dunia bahwa cara lain untuk berpolitik itu sungguh ada, yang salah satunya bisa dilihat dari praktek kehidupan swadaya masyarakat adat.
Nama Zapatista diambil dari Emiliano Zapata, seorang tokoh revolusi Meksiko.
WAKE UP...!!
Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Yeah!
Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
