compa\u00f1eros<\/em> Galeano and Luis Villoro.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eroas, hermanos y hermanas, hoy estamos aqu\u00ed, no para recordar, por la falta de su existencia f\u00edsica de los compa\u00f1eros Galeano y Luis Villoro.<\/p>\n
Venimos aqu\u00ed, para recordar y a platicar, la lucha que hicieron, en sus vidas, en sus trabajos de lucha, sus resistencias de lucha que hicieron.<\/p>\n
No venimos a recordar la muerte, sino lo que dejaron vivos, por sus vidas de lucha y de trabajo, que debemos hacer que sigan vivos esas vidas de lucha y trabajo que hicieron.<\/p>\n
Somos nosotras y nosotros los que tenemos que hacer que vivan para siempre, los que dan la vida por un mundo nuevo, construido por los pueblo.<\/p>\n
No estamos aqu\u00ed para poner un estatua.<\/p>\n
No va a dar vida una estatua, no va a dar vida un museo, no hablan.<\/p>\n
Los que hablamos somos nosotras y nosotros, somos los que tenemos que hacer que vivan y as\u00ed por generaciones habr\u00e1 estatua y museo en nuestros corazones y no simplemente un s\u00edmbolo.<\/p>\n
Nos dio gusto y alegr\u00eda que nos platicaron m\u00e1s de su vida de lucha del compa\u00f1ero zapatista Don Luis Villoro, que en otras partes lo conocen de te\u00f3rico y aqu\u00ed lo conocemos de pr\u00e1ctico, que en otras partes lo conocen de fil\u00f3sofo y aqu\u00ed lo conocemos de zapatista.<\/p>\n
A quienes estuvieron en su lado de lucha y de trabajo, los que trabajaron con \u00e9l les damos gracias porque nos platicaron m\u00e1s de \u00e9l, de sus otros pedazos de vida.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed nosotras y nosotros como zapatistas les platicamos de otro pedazo.<\/p>\n
Por ejemplo del compa\u00f1ero Luis Villoro, gracias a \u00e9l, y otras personas como \u00e9l, hay casas de cl\u00ednicas y casas para escuela para la educaci\u00f3n Zapatista.<\/p>\n
Es de su esfuerzo, su trabajo.<\/p>\n
Pero no bast\u00f3 ah\u00ed eso, se necesit\u00f3 gente que construya, como el compa Galeano y luego gente que trabaje para que sea promotora y se eche a andar lo que sue\u00f1a una, uno, y luego organizar lo de los alumnos y alumnas.<\/p>\n
Y eso fue eso el compa\u00f1ero Galeano, la construy\u00f3 y lo trabaj\u00f3 y lo ech\u00f3 a andar.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed estamos organizados los pueblos Zapatistas.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed llego ser maestro el compa Galeano, gracias a la ayuda del compa Luis Villoro y otras y otros como \u00e9l.<\/p>\n
Nos respet\u00f3 y lo respetamos, nos trat\u00f3 de igual a igual, nos crey\u00f3 y lo cre\u00edmos, llegamos a estar trabajando en una misma construcci\u00f3n, sin que nos vimos f\u00edsicamente, o sea se puede construir las cosas, sin que \u00e9l o ella est\u00e1 ah\u00ed personalmente.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed fue, por ejemplo, que la Sexta en el mundo trabaj\u00f3 en la construcci\u00f3n de la escuela y cl\u00ednica en La Realidad zapatista que sobre la sangre de nuestro compa\u00f1ero Galeano.<\/p>\n
No se conocieron los compas Luis Villoro y Galeano, y como quiera estuvieron juntos construyendo una misma libertad.<\/p>\n
Del compa Galeano tambi\u00e9n lo escuchamos partes de su vida de lucha.<\/p>\n
Primero decidi\u00f3 luchar, y luego tuvo apoyo, luego a organizar para la construcci\u00f3n, y luego organizar quienes van a hacer el trabajo de promotores, por ultimo ver de los alumnas y alumnos.<\/p>\n
Esto requiere organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Porque el compa Galeano, fue y es miliciano, mando de milicia cabo y luego sargento. Representante Regional del grupo juvenil, miembro de los MAREZ, Municipio Aut\u00f3nomo Rebelde Zapatista, maestro de escuelita Zapatista y estaba elegido para ser miembro de la Junta de Buen Gobierno.<\/p>\n
Esto quiere ORGANIZACI\u00d3N.<\/p>\n
De ah\u00ed practic\u00f3 y despu\u00e9s pudo ser maestro y fue a dar clase de lo practicado a muchas partes del mundo con el curso de \u201cLa libertad seg\u00fan las zapatistas y los zapatistas\u201d.<\/p>\n
Porque se necesita organizarse para poder LIBERARSE del sistema capitalista.<\/p>\n
Porque s\u00f3lo el pueblo se va a liberarse, nadie le va dar su libertad, no un l\u00edder de hombre o mujer va dar la libertad.<\/p>\n
Porque los capitalistas no van a renunciar o se van a arrepentirse y dejar de explotar al pueblo.<\/p>\n
Porque no se va a poder humanizar el sistema capitalista.<\/p>\n
Para acabar con ese sistema, hay que destruirlo, para eso hay que organizarse.<\/p>\n
Y el compa Luis Villoro, lo vio que as\u00ed est\u00e1n haciendo los zapatistas, no dud\u00f3 en acompa\u00f1ar, en luchar, en trabajar y en apoyar la lucha y la organizaci\u00f3n en que represent\u00f3 en su vida al compa Galeano.<\/p>\n
Ojala all\u00e1 m\u00e1s Luises y Luisas y Luisoas Villoros, Villoras y Villoroas.<\/p>\n
No se acaba uno de organizarse, porque se necesita organizaci\u00f3n para la construcci\u00f3n y organizase para vigilar lo que ya construiste y as\u00ed se va, la de que hay que estar organizados.<\/p>\n
Para que ya no vuelva la explotaci\u00f3n del mismo ser vivo de personas, como ahora explotan a hombres y mujeres y a quienes no son hombres ni mujeres.<\/p>\n
Para que el pueblo toma de la mano su gobernarse en s\u00ed mismos.<\/p>\n
Esto quiere organizaci\u00f3n. Organizaci\u00f3n es pueblos, mujeres, hombres y otroas.<\/p>\n
Y ya que hemos escuchados las palabras que nos han dicho, queremos decirles esto:<\/p>\n
Hay quienes piensan que somos una organizaci\u00f3n de ind\u00edgenas \u00f3 de mexicanas y mexicanos, pero No.<\/p>\n
Somos una organizaci\u00f3n de zapatistas, ind\u00edgenas y no ind\u00edgenas, justo como acabamos de ver aqu\u00ed, que estamos homenajeando a 2 compa\u00f1eros zapatistas.<\/p>\n
Estamos en M\u00e9xico porque aqu\u00ed nos toc\u00f3, es nuestra geograf\u00eda.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed como a quienes luchan por la libertad del pueblo Kurdo les toc\u00f3 donde les toc\u00f3.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed como a cada quien le toca donde le toca. Como lucha la Sexta en M\u00e9xico y el mundo que le toca donde le toca.<\/p>\n
Por eso decimos de la geograf\u00eda de cada quien, el rinc\u00f3n del mundo donde cada quien se levanta, se rebela y se lucha por su libertad, por la libertad.<\/p>\n
Aqu\u00ed lo que se necesita es tener claro c\u00f3mo es ser zapatistas,<\/p>\n
Ser de zapatista es estar bien decidido, decidida, decidoa, bien puesto y puesta y puestoa.<\/p>\n
Porque no es de presumirse, sino de trabajar, organizar y luchar silenciosamente hasta llegar con las \u00faltimas consecuencias, es decir, teor\u00eda y pr\u00e1ctica.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista ponerse un pasamonta\u00f1a y ya, sino es organizarse y destruir el sistema capitalista.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista decir con palabra \u201csoy zapatista\u201d, sino es decidirse hasta la muerte luchando.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista hablar del zapatismo, sino es estar trabajando colectivamente con los pueblos organizados.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista estar cuando est\u00e1 en moda como nos dicen, y ya no estar cuando se est\u00e1 sufriendo por el ataque del mal sistema, del mal gobierno.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista, ponerse uniforme, disfrazarse decimos, para ir a entregarse con el mal gobierno, porque el zapatista no se rinde.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista decir que yo soy comandante del ezln y hacer que se est\u00e1 dialogando por paga y proyectos con el mal gobierno, porque el zapatista no se vende.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista buscar y llegar a ponerse bajo los que quieren cargo y paga y que luchan s\u00f3lo cada 6 a\u00f1os o cada tanto que se pone el mercado de cargos.<\/p>\n
El zapatista lucha por un cambio total y lucha toda su vida y no claudica. O sea no cambia su pensamiento seg\u00fan la moda o seg\u00fan convenga o seg\u00fan qu\u00e9 color es m\u00e1s bonito en el mercado.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista estar en 2 lados, partidista y zapatista. Porque el partidista quiere que cambie el color del que manda. En cambio el zapatista quiere cambiar todo el sistema, no una parte, sino que todo. Y que en el pueblo mande y nadie lo mande.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista que nunca se tiene miedo. S\u00ed se tiene a veces, pero se controla y se sigue en la lucha.<\/p>\n
No es ser zapatista tener mucha rabia y no se organiza, sino se tiene que organizarse y con mucha dignidad.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQui\u00e9n dice cuando vas a ser zapatista? Los pueblos.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQui\u00e9n dice como es ser zapatista? Los pueblos.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQui\u00e9n dice hasta cuando deja de ser zapatista?<\/p>\n
No hay quien dice \u201cya acabaste\u201d, sino que tienes que seguir hasta que mueras cumpliendo el sagrado deber de liberar al pueblo explotado, y aunque sea ya en la muerte se sigue luchando.<\/p>\n
Por eso es que hacemos este homenaje, para recordarnos y recordarles que, aunque venga la muerte a tratar de olvidarnos, seguimos vivos en los pueblos, en la lucha, para la lucha y por la lucha de pueblos y as\u00ed sigue la vida y gana, y se acaba la muerte y pierde.<\/p>\n
Gracias.<\/p>\n

\nM\u00e9xico, Mayo del 2015.<\/p>\n
Compa\u00f1eros<\/em>, compa\u00f1eras<\/em>, and compa\u00f1eroas<\/em>, brothers and sisters, we are here today not to remember how much we miss the physical existence of the compa\u00f1eros<\/em> Galeano and Luis Villoro.<\/p>\nWe come here to remember and to talk about the struggle they waged in lives and in their work, the resistence struggles they were part of.<\/p>\n
We did not come here to remember death, but to remember what they gave life to through their lives of work and struggle, and what we must do to keep those lives of work and struggle alive.<\/p>\n
It is we who have to make it so that those who give their lives for a new world, one created by the people, live forever.<\/p>\n
We are not here to raise a statue.<\/p>\n
A statue will not provide life, a museum will not give life; they do not speak.<\/p>\n
We are those ones who speak. We are the ones who have to keep them alive and in this way, create a statue and a museum that will live in our hearts for generations, rather than remaining mere symbols.<\/p>\n
We were very happy that we were able to hear more about the life of the Zapatista compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Don Luis Villoro, who in other places is known as a theorist and who here we know as a practitioner; who in other places is known as a philosopher, and who here we know as a Zapatista.<\/p>\nTo those who were by his side in struggle and in work, to those who worked with him, we give our thanks because they told us more about him, about the other facets of his life.<\/p>\n
So we Zapatistas will tell you about another facet of his life.<\/p>\n
For example, thanks to the compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Luis Villoro and others like him, we have clinics and schools for Zapatista education.<\/p>\nThat came from his efforts, from his work.<\/p>\n
But that in itself is not enough. People were needed to build, people like compa<\/em> Galeano, and people needed to work as promotoras <\/em>to launch their dreams there and then organize for what the students would need.<\/p>\nAnd that was what compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Galeano constructed, worked on, and got moving.<\/p>\nThis is how the Zapatista people are organized.<\/p>\n
This is how the compa<\/em> Galeano came to be a teacher, thanks to the help of compa<\/em> Luis Villoro and others like him.<\/p>\nHe respected us, and we respected him. He treated us as equals. He believed in us and we believed in him. We came to work on the same project without seeing each other physically, that is, one can contribute to constructing something without personally being there.<\/p>\n
This is how, for example, the Sixth all over the world worked to construct the school and clinic in the Zapatista community La Realidad, over the blood of our compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Galeano.<\/p>\nThe compas<\/em> Luis Villoro and Galeano did not know each other, but nonetheless they were together, constructing the same freedom.<\/p>\nWe also heard about facets of compa<\/em> Galeano\u2019s life of struggle.<\/p>\nFirst he decided to struggle, and later he received support, and then he organized to for the actual construction, and then organized those who would be promotores<\/em>, and finally he oversaw what the students would need.<\/p>\nThis requires organization.<\/p>\n
Because the compa<\/em> Galeano was and is a miliciano<\/em>, a corporal, and later a sergeant. He was regional representative of the youth, member of the MAREZ (Zapatista Autonomous Municipality in Rebellion), teacher of the Zapatista Little School, and member-elect of the Good Government Council.<\/p>\nThis requires ORGANIZATION.<\/p>\n
From there he practiced and was later able to teach what he had learned, providing classes all over the world through the course, \u201cFreedom According to the Zapatistas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because one needs to organize in order to LIBERATE oneself from the capitalist system.<\/p>\n
Because only the people will liberate themselves, no one will give them their freedom; no leader, man or woman, will bring freedom.<\/p>\n
Because the capitalists are not going to give up or repent and stop exploiting the people.<\/p>\n
Because the capitalist system cannot be humanized.<\/p>\n
In order to put an end to the system, it must be destroyed, and to do that, one must organize.<\/p>\n
Compa<\/em> Luis Villoro saw that this is what the Zapatistas were doing and he did not think twice about accompanying us, in struggling and working and supporting the struggle and the organization that the life of compa<\/em> Galeano represents.<\/p>\nHopefully there will be more Luises, Luisas, and Luisoas, Villoros<\/em><\/strong>, Villoras<\/em><\/strong>, and Villoroas<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\nOne never finishes organizing, because you need organization in order to build, and then you must be organized in order to watch over what you have built, and that\u2019s how it goes, that is what it means to be organized.<\/p>\n
That is what is necessary so that the same exploitation of people does not come back, like today men and women are exploited, as well as those who are not men or women.<\/p>\n
So that the people take on the task of governing themselves.<\/p>\n
This requires organization. Organization is made of communities, women, men, and otroas<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\nNow that we have heard the words that have been spoken to us, we want to say this to you:<\/p>\n
Some people think that we are an organization made up of indigenous people or of Mexicans, but we are not.<\/p>\n
We are an organization of Zapatistas, indigenous and non-indigenous, just as we have seen here in the act of paying homage to two Zapatista compa\u00f1eros<\/em>.<\/p>\nWe are in Mexico because this is where we happen to be, it is our geography.<\/p>\n
Just like those who struggle for the freedom of the Kurdish people are there because that is where they happen to be.<\/p>\n
Just like everyone is where they happen to be, like the Sixth in Mexico and across the world, they are in the places that for whatever reason correspond to them.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we talk about the geography of each of us, the corner of the world where each of us rises up, rebels, and struggles for freedom.<\/p>\n
Here what needs to be made clear is what it means to be a Zapatista.<\/p>\n
To be a Zapatista means to be decided and ready.[i]<\/a><\/p>\nBecause it\u2019s not about showing off but about working, organizing, and struggling in silence until their final consequences, that is, it is about theory and practice.<\/p>\n
Putting on a ski mask does not make one a Zapatista. Rather, organizing oneself and destroying the capitalist system does.<\/p>\n
Simply saying, \u201cI am a Zapatista\u201d does not make one a Zapatista. Rather, deciding to struggle until death does.<\/p>\n
Speaking about Zapatismo does not make one a Zapatista. Rather, working collectively with the organized communities does.<\/p>\n
It is not being a Zapatista to take up the struggle when it\u2019s in fashion and put it aside when attacks by the bad system cause suffering.<\/p>\n
Putting on a uniform\u2014disguising oneself, as we say\u2014in order to hand oneself over to the bad government does not make one a Zapatista, because a Zapatista never gives in.<\/p>\n
Saying that one is an EZLN commander and pretending to dialogue [with the government] in order to get paid in money and material projects by the bad government does not make one a Zapatista, because a Zapatista never sells out.<\/p>\n
Searching for and working under those who want a government post, pay, and who only struggle every six years or whenever the market for official posts [elections] rolls around again does not make one a Zapatista.<\/p>\n
A Zapatista struggles for total change; they struggle all their life and do not give in. That is, their thoughts do not shift with the trends or with whatever is convenient or according to whatever color is shining brightest in the marketplace.<\/p>\n
Trying to have it both ways, to be a [political] party-follower and a Zapatista does not make one a Zapatista. Because the party-follower wants to change the color of the ruler. In contrast, the Zapatista wants to change the entire system, not just one part but all of it, so that the people rule and nobody rules over them.<\/p>\n
One is not a Zapatista because they are never scared. One may have fear sometimes but control it and continue to struggle.<\/p>\n
One is not a Zapatista if they have a lot of rage but no organization. Rather, one must organize with others and with a lot of dignity.<\/p>\n
Who gets to say when you become a Zapatista? The people.<\/p>\n
Who gets to say what makes a Zapatista? The people.<\/p>\n
Who gets to say when you cease being a Zapatista?<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t anyone who says \u201cyou\u2019re done.\u201d Rather, one must continue to struggle until death to fulfill the sacred duty to liberate the exploited, and even after death you continue in struggle.<\/p>\n
This is why we are having this homage, in order to remind ourselves and all of you that, even if death comes in an attempt to convert us into the forgotten, we continue to live in the people, in the struggle, for the struggle and for the struggle of the people. That is how life continues on and wins\u2014and death comes to an end and loses.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
