That is,  some students covered others. But that means that the numbers don\u2019t work  out, <em>compas<\/em>. It was thanks to some students who gave more than  the 100 required pesos (and some didn\u2019t give anything), as well as to  generous donations from others that we could more or less break even.<\/p>\n<p>For those who gave more and those who made extra large donations, we  thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And we should also thank those  who didn\u2019t pay the full 100 pesos or didn\u2019t give anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>But we know very well that we can\u2019t expect this to work out again  this way, where some students pay the course for others, which leaves us  with the following options:<\/p>\n<p>a) \u2013 We close the Little School.<\/p>\n<p>b) \u2013 We reduce the number of students to what we Zapatistas can pay  for ourselves. Subcomandante Insurgente Mois\u00e9s tells me this would be  about 100 per <em>caracol<\/em>, or 500 total.<\/p>\n<p>c) \u2013 We raise the cost and make it obligatory.<\/p>\n<p>We think that we shouldn\u2019t close the Little School because it has  permitted us to meet more people and for other people to meet us, people  who we didn\u2019t know before and who didn\u2019t know us.<\/p>\n<p>We think that if we reduce the number who can come, many people will  be sad or mad because they already have everything ready to attend and  it could be that they wouldn\u2019t make the list. And above all, as you now  know, the essence of the course is found in the communities and the  guardians and <em>guardianas<\/em>, and if we reduced the number of students I would have to give them the bad news, and I would get the backlash.<\/p>\n<p>So the only solution is to ask that you pay for your own transport  and food. We know that this, in addition to bothering some people, might  leave others out. That is why we are letting you know ahead of time so  that you can find a way to pay your fee and\/or the fee for other <em>compas<\/em> who want to come but can\u2019t pay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The cost now will be $380.00 (three hundred eighty Mexican pesos) per student<\/strong>,  and should be paid at registration in CIDECI on the designated  registration days. If on top of that you want to bring a pound of rice  and a pound of beans, we would appreciate that too.<\/p>\n<p>And please, we beg you, we plead with you, we implore you to clarify  who is coming with you, how many of you there are, and each person\u2019s  age. The thing is that we get emails that say \u201cI\u2019m coming with my kids\u201d  and then they arrive and well, it\u2019s like the cast for the \u201cThe Walking  Dead.\u201d All those who are going to attend must register ahead of time,  this includes kids, adults, elders, and the walking dead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also please clarify the dates on which you will come. There are  two dates now, one at the end of December and another at the beginning  of January. It is important for us to know which one you are signing up  for because, as you know, there is an indigenous family that is  preparing to host and attend to you, a guardian or <em>guardiana<\/em> that  is preparing to orient you, a driver who is getting his or her vehicle  ready to transport you, and a whole village preparing to receive you.  And clarify if you want to take the course in a community or in CIDECI  in San Crist\u00f3bal de Las Casas, Chiapas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh also, come to listen and learn, because there are some who came to  give seminars on feminism, vegetarianism, Marxism, and other \u201cisms.\u201d  And now they\u2019re upset because we Zapatistas don\u2019t obey them, these  people who came to tell us that we should change the revolutionary law  for women to their liking and not as determined by the Zapatista women,  that we don\u2019t understand the advantages of marijuana, that we shouldn\u2019t  make our houses out of cement because it\u2019s better to make them out of  adobe and palm, or that we shouldn\u2019t wear shoes because by going  barefoot we would be better in touch with mother earth. In sum, that we  should obey those who come to give us orders\u2026 that is, that we should  not be Zapatistas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPECIAL CASES: the Anarchists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given the anti-anarchist campaign launched by those of \u201cgood  conscience\u201d and the well-behaved left united in a holy crusade with the  old right to accuse the anarchists, young and old, of challenging the  system (as if anarchism had another option), including the dismantling  of their shows (this thing about turning the lights off, was that so we  wouldn\u2019t see the anarchists?), and the repetition <em>ad nauseum<\/em> of  epithets such as \u201canarcho-hardliners,\u201d \u201canarcho-provocateur,\u201d  \u201canarcho-thugs,\u201d \u201canarcho-etcetera\u201d (somewhere I read the epithet  \u201canarcho-anarchist,\u201d isn\u2019t that sublime?), the Zapatista men and women  cannot ignore the climate of hysteria that so firmly demands respect for  windowpanes (which don\u2019t reveal but rather hide what happens just  behind the counter: slave-like work conditions, a total lack of hygiene,  poor quality, low nutritional value, money laundering, tax evasion, and  capital flight).<\/p>\n<p>Because now, apparently, the robbery poorly disguised as \u201cstructural  reform,\u201d the assault on the teachers union, the national patrimony  \u201coutlet\u201d sale, the theft imposed by the government on the governed  through taxation, and the fiscal asphyxiation \u2013 which only favors the  large monopolies \u2013 is the anarchists\u2019 fault.<\/p>\n<p>This includes blame for the fact that now \u201cdecent people\u201d don\u2019t go out into the street to protest anymore (\u201c<em>hey  but what about the marches, sit-ins, roadblocks, graffiti, flyers\u2026\u201d  \u201cYes, but those are teachers-bus drivers-vendors-students, that is,  country bumpkins, and I\u2019m talking people really-truly-from-the Federal  District.\u201d \u201cAh, the mythical middle class, so courted and yet so  despised and cheated by the entire political spectrum and all of the  media\u2026<\/em>\u201d), the fact that the institutional left also evicts the protest rallies, the fact that the \u201conly opposition to the regime\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elkilombo.org\/wp-admin\/post-new.php#_edn1\" target=\"_blank\">[i]<\/a> has been overshadowed by the nameless again and again, the fact that  the arbitrary imposition is now called \u201cdialogue and negotiation,\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elkilombo.org\/wp-admin\/post-new.php#_edn2\" target=\"_blank\">[ii]<\/a> the fact that the murder of migrants, women, youth, workers, children \u2013 all of this is the anarchists\u2019 fault.<\/p>\n<p>For those who fight as and claim the \u201cA,\u201d a flag without a nation or  frontiers, and who are part of the SIXTH\u2014but who really are in the  struggle, not just as a fashion or a fad\u2014we have, in addition to an  embrace of solidarity, a special request.<\/p>\n<p>Anarchist <em>Compas<\/em>: We Zapatista men and women aren\u2019t going to  blame you for our shortcomings (or lack of imagination), nor are we  going to hold you responsible for our mistakes, much less persecute you  for being who you are.
