That is, of our pains and our struggles.<\/p>\n<p>We are convinced that any attempt at homogeneity is no more than a  fascist effort at domination, regardless of whether it is hidden in  revolutionary, esoteric, religious, or any other language.<\/p>\n<p>When one speaks of \u201cunity\u201d they elide the fact that such \u201cunity\u201d  occurs under the leadership of someone or something, be it individual or  collective.<\/p>\n<p>On the false altar of \u201cunity,\u201d not only are differences sacrificed,  but the survival of all of the small worlds under the tyranny and  injustice they suffer is obscured.<\/p>\n<p>In our history, this lesson is repeated time and again. And every  time the world turns, our place is always that of the oppressed, the  disdained, the exploited, the dispossessed.<\/p>\n<p>What we call the \u201cfour wheels of capitalism\u201d: exploitation,  displacement, repression, and disdain, have been repeated throughout our  history, with different names up above, but we are always the same ones  below.<\/p>\n<p>But the current system has gotten to a state of extreme madness. Its  predatory ambition, its absolute disrespect for life, its delight in  death and destruction, and its effort to impose apartheid on all of  those who are different, that is, all of those below, is taking humanity  to the point of disappearance as a form of life on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>We could, as someone might advise, wait patiently for those above to  destroy themselves, without acknowledging that their insane arrogance  and pride will destroy everything.<\/p>\n<p>In their drive to be higher and higher above, they dynamite the  floors below, the foundations. The building\u2014the world\u2014will ultimately  collapse and there won\u2019t be anyone to hold responsible.<\/p>\n<p>We think that yes, something is wrong, very wrong. But that if in  order to save humanity and the badly damaged house it inhabits someone  has to go, then it should be, it must be, those above.<\/p>\n<p>And we aren\u2019t referring here to banishing those above. We\u2019re talking  about destroying the social relations that make it possible for someone  to be above at the cost of someone else being below.<\/p>\n<p>The Zapatistas know that this great line we have drawn across the  world geography is not a conventional understanding. We know that this  model of \u201cabove\u201d and \u201cbelow\u201d bothers, irritates, and disturbs some. This  is not the only thing that irritates them, we know, but for now, we are  referring specifically to this discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>We could be mistaken. Quite likely we are. The thought police and  knowledge inspectors will surely appear in order to judge, condemn, and  execute us\u2026 hopefully only in their flamboyant writing and not hiding  their vocation as executioners behind that of judges.<\/p>\n<p>But this is how the Zapatistas see the world and its\u00a0<em>modos:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There is machismo, patriarchy, misogyny, or whatever one may call it,  but it\u2019s one thing to be a woman above and something completely  different to be one below.<\/p>\n<p>There is homophobia, yes, but it\u2019s one thing to be a homosexual above and something very different to be one below.<\/p>\n<p>There is disdain for those who are different, yes, but it\u2019s one thing to be different above and quite another to be so below.<\/p>\n<p>There is a left that is an alterative to the right, but it is one  thing is to be on the left above and it is something completely  different (we would say opposite) to be on the left below.<\/p>\n<p>Place your own identities within the parameters we are laying out and you will see what we are saying.<\/p>\n<p>The most deceitful identity, fashionalbe every time the modern state goes into crisis, is that of \u201ccitizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccitizen\u201d above and the \u201ccitizen\u201d below have nothing in common; they are opposite and contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>Differences are chased, cornered, ignored, disdained, repressed, displaced, and exploited, yes.<\/p>\n<p>But we see a greater difference that crosses all of these differences: that of above and below, the haves and the have-nots.<\/p>\n<p>And we see that there is something fundamental to this great  difference: the above is above on the backs of those below; the \u201chaves\u201d  have because they dispossess those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>We think that being above or below determines our gaze, our words, what we hear, our steps, our pains, and our struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there will be another opportunity to explain more of our  thinking on this. For now we will just say that the gazes, words, ears,  and steps of those above tend to conserve this division. This does not,  of course, imply immobility. Conservatism seems to be very far from a  system that discovers more and better forms of imposing the four wounds  that the world below suffers. But this \u201cmodernization\u201d or \u201cprogress\u201d has  no other objective than to maintain above those who are above in the  only way it is possible for them to be there, that is, on the backs of  those below.<\/p>\n<p>In our thinking, the gaze, words, ears, and steps of those below are  determined by the line of questioning: Why this way? Why them? Why us?<\/p>\n<p>In order to impose answers to such questions on us, or in order to  avoid our asking them in the first place, gigantic cathedrals of ideas  have been built, more or less well thought out, usually so grotesque  that not only is it amazing that someone has developed them and someone  believes them, but also that they have also constructed universities and  centers for research and analysis based on them.<\/p>\n<p>But there is always a party pooper who ruins the festivities at the end of history.<\/p>\n<p>And that stick-in-the-mud responds to these questions with another: \u201ccould it be another way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This question could be the one that sparks rebellion and its broader acceptance. And this could be because there is a \u201c<strong>no<\/strong>\u201d that has birthed it:\u00a0<strong><em>it doesn\u2019t have to be this way<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Forgive us if this confusing detour has irritated you. Chalk it up to our\u00a0<em>modo<\/em>, our ways and customs.<\/p>\n<p>What we want to say, compa\u00f1eras, compa\u00f1eros,\u00a0<em>compa\u00f1eroas<\/em>, is that what convoked us all in the Sixth was this rebellious, heretic, rude, irreverent, bothersome, uncomfortable \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We have gotten to this point because our realities, histories, and rebellions have brought us to this \u201c<strong>it doesn\u2019t have to be this way<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This and also because, intuitively or by design, we have answered \u201c<em>yes<\/em>\u201d to the question, \u201c<em>could it be another way<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We still need to respond to the questions we encounter after that \u201c<em>yes<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What is that other way, that other world, that other society that we imagine, that we want, that we need?<\/p>\n<p>What do we have to do?<\/p>\n<p>With whom?<\/p>\n<p>If we don\u2019t know the answers to those questions we have to look for  them. And if we have them, we have to make them known among ourselves.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p>In this new step, but on the same path of the Sixth Declaration of  the Lacand\u00f3n Jungle, as Zapatistas we have tried to apply some of what  we have learned in these 7 years. We will make changes in the rhythm and  speed of our step, but also in its company.<\/p>\n<p>You all know that one of the many and great defects we have as  Zapatistas is memory. We remember who was present when and where, what  they said, what they did, what they didn\u2019t say, what they undid, what  they wrote, what they erased. We remember the calendars and geographies.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t misinterpret us. We don\u2019t judge anyone, everyone constructs  their alibis as they can for what they do or don\u2019t do. The stubborn  advance of history will tell if they were correct or erroneous.<\/p>\n<p>For our part, we have seen, listened to, and learned from everyone.<\/p>\n<p>We saw who came around only to take political advantage of the Other  Campaign, who jumped from one mobilization to another, seduced by the  masses, and thus revealing their incapacity to generate anything  themselves. One day they are anti-electoral, another day they hang their  flags in whichever mobilization is in style; one day they are teachers,  the next students; one day they are indigenists, the next they are  allied with landowners and paramilitaries. They clamor for the avenging  fire of the masses, and disappear when the antiriot tanks arrive with  water cannons.<\/p>\n<p>We will not walk again with them.<\/p>\n<p>We saw who appears when there are stages, dialogues, good press, and  attention, and who disappears when it is time for the work that is  silent but necessary, as the majority of those who are hearing or  reading this letter know. All this time our gaze and our ear were not  directed toward those on the stage, but rather toward those who built  it, who made the food, swept the floors, tended to things, drove,  flyered, stuck it out, as they say. We also saw and heard those who  climbed over everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>We will not walk again with them.<\/p>\n<p>We saw who the professionals of the assemblies are, with their  techniques and tactics for driving meetings into the ground so that only  they, and their followers, are left to approve their own proposals.  They distribute defeat wherever they appear, facilitating roundtables,  sidelining the \u201cyuppie\u201d and \u201cpetit-bourgeoisie\u201d who don\u2019t understand  that at stake in the day\u2019s agenda is the future of world revolution.  Those who think poorly of any movement that doesn\u2019t end in an assembly  that they themselves run.<\/p>\n<p>We will not walk again with them.<\/p>\n<p>We saw those who present themselves as struggling for the freedom of  the political prisoners during events and campaigns, but who insisted  that we abandon the prisoners of Atenco and continue the journey of the  Other Campaign because they had their strategy ready and their events  programmed.<\/p>\n<p>We will not walk again with them.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p>The Sixth was convoked by the Zapatistas.\u00a0 To convoke is not to  unite. We don\u2019t intend to unite under a single leadership, be it  Zapatista or any other. We do not seek to coopt, recruit, supplant,  impersonate, simulate, trick, subordinate, or use anybody. Our destiny  is the same, but the richness of the Sixth is its difference, its  heterogeneity, the autonomy of distinct modes of walking, this is its  strength. We offer and will continue to offer respect, and we demand and  will continue to demand the same. The only requirement to adhere to the  Sixth is the \u201cno\u201d that convokes us and the commitment to construct the  \u201cyeses\u201d that are necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p><em>Compa\u00f1eroas<\/em>, compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eras:<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the EZLN we say:<\/p>\n<p>1.- For the EZLN, there will no longer be a national Other Campaign  and a Zezta Internazional.\u00a0From now on we will walk together with those  we have invited and who accept us as\u00a0<em>compas<\/em>, whether they are on the coast of Chiapas or that of New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, our territory for our work is now clearly delimited:  the planet called \u201cEarth,\u201d located in that which is called the Solar  System.<\/p>\n<p>We will now be what we are in fact already: \u201cThe Sixth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2.- For the EZLN, to be in the Sixth does not require affiliation,  membership fee, registration list,\u00a0\u00a0original and\/or copy of an official  ID, or account statement; one does not have to be judge, or jury, or  defendant, or executioner. There are no flags. There are commitments and  consequences to these commitments. The \u201cno\u201d convokes us, the  construction of the \u201cyes\u201d mobilizes us.<\/p>\n<p>2.- Those who, with the resurgence of the EZLN, hope for a new epoch  of big stages and large gatherings, with the masses peering in to see  the future being made, and the equivalent of assaults on the winter  palace will be disappointed. It is best they leave now. Don\u2019t waste your  time, and don\u2019t make us waste ours. The walk of the Sixth is a long  one, not meant for mental midgets. For \u201chistorical\u201d and \u201cconjunctural\u201d  actions, there are other spaces where you will surely find your place.  Here we don\u2019t want only to change the government, we want to change the  world.<\/p>\n<p>3.- We confirm that as the EZLN, we will not ally ourselves with any  electoral movement in Mexico. Our conception about this in the Sixth has  been clear and has not varied. We understand that there are those who  think that it is possible to transform things from above without  becoming one more of those above. Hopefully the coming consecutive  disappointments do not turn them into that which they fight against.<\/p>\n<p>4.- When we propose organizational, political, and dissemination  initiatives, our word will be EXCLUSIVELY for those who request it and  whom we accept, and sent from our website email to the addresses that we  have. They will also appear on the website of Enlace Zapatista, but  their full content will only be accessible with a password that will  continually change. We will get you this password somehow, but it will  be easy to deduce by those who read carefully what they do see and for  those who have learned to decipher the feelings that become letters in  our words.<\/p>\n<p>Every individual, group, collective, organization or however each  refers to themselves, has the right and the liberty to share this  information with whomever they see fit. All of the adherents to the  Sixth will have the power to open the window of our word and of our  reality to whomever they desire. The window, not the door.<\/p>\n<p>5.-\u00a0 The EZLN asks your patience while we make public the initiatives  that, over 7 years, we have developed, and whose principal objective  will be to put you in direct contact with the Zapatista bases of support  in what is, in my humble opinion and long experience, the best way  possible: that is to say, as students.<\/p>\n<p>6.- For now we\u2019d just like to let you know that those who can and  want to, and who are explicitly invited by the Sixth-EZLN, should start  getting together the bread, the dough, the money, or whatever it\u2019s  called in whatever part of the planet, in order to be able to travel to  Zapatista lands on dates yet to be decided. Later we will give you more  details.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude this letter (which, as is evident, has the disadvantage  of lacking a video or soundtrack to accompany and complete the spoken  version [<em>the version to be read at the Red\u2019s meeting<\/em>]), we  would like to send the best of our embraces (and we only have one best)  to the men, women, children, elderly, groups, organizations, movements,  or however each might refers to themselves, that all this time have not  let their hearts grow distant from us, who have continued to resist and  who have supported us as the compa\u00f1eras, compa\u00f1eros y<em>compa\u00f1eroas<\/em> that we are.<\/p>\n<p>Compas:<\/p>\n<p>We are the Sixth.<\/p>\n<p>It will take a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Opening ourselves to those throughout the world who have pain will not lessen our own. The path will be even more treacherous.<\/p>\n<p>We will battle.<\/p>\n<p>We will resist.<\/p>\n<p>We will struggle.<\/p>\n<p>We may die.<\/p>\n<p>But one, ten, a hundred, a thousand times, we will always win always.<\/p>\n<p>For the Revolutionary Indigenous Clandestine Committee\u2014General Command of the<\/p>\n<p>Zapatista Army for National Liberation<\/p>\n<p>The Sixth-EZLN<\/p>\n<p>Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos.<\/p>\n<p>Chiapas, Mexico, Planet Earth.<\/p>\n<p>January 2013.<\/p>\n<p>P.D.- For example, the password to see this text on the webpage is, as is evident, \u201c<strong>marichiweu<\/strong>,\u201d just like that, without caps (letters \u201cbelow\u201d) and starting from the left.<\/p>\n<p>::::::::::::::::::::::::<br \/>\nSee and listen to the videos that accompany this text:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;list=PLD999D1842E26FB2A&amp;v=jkXabnv_MIc\" target=\"_blank\">Cumbia Zapatista<\/a>,\u201d  by the group \u201cSonido Psicotropical.\u201d Part of the album \u201cRola la lucha  Zapatista.\u201d Move your behind to the rhythm of the cumbiaaaaa!<br \/>\n(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;list=PLD999D1842E26FB2A&amp;v=jkXabnv_MIc\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;list=PLD999D1842E26FB2A&amp;v=jkXabnv_MIc<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=YFJHBoWRkWk\" target=\"_blank\">Nadie mira<\/a>,\u201d  by the group \u201cRABIA.\u201d With Iker Moranchel, guitar and vocals.
