What are some non-ML movements (past and present) that you guys strongly support?

Me personally, I find the EZLN fascinating. (if there is anything bad about them, let me know because I do not know much bad things about them)
They are one of the few movements that anarchists praise that I actually think are based, although the Zapatistas have told westerners to stop calling them anarchists, communists, or anything else.
They also fight against drug cartels and seem to have created one of the most stable territories in the Chiapas region.
However, they are too small to do anything big like overthrowing the Mexican government. They would be crushed quickly.
Give me your thoughts on the EZLN and/or, as the title suggests, any non-ML movements that you support.
You're viewing a single thread.
Just came back from a holiday there: Basque independence movement. The Basque have their own language, culture, socio-economic vision so I see no reason why I shouldn't support them wanting to become independent from Spain and France.
Just curious, what are your thoughts on Catalonia independence?
I'm not who you are replying to, but here's a fun fact: years ago I did some research on the International Brigades that required pulling out documents from the SOVDOC.
One of these was the record of a political discussion in 1936-37 between members of a communist unit that included Catalonian independentists, about the question of self-determination for Spain's various nationalities. The meeting ended with a recommendation of Stalin's Marxism and the National Question as a read for the unit's members and the decision that the text's conclusions was the way of thought to follow.
To this day, I still recommend that one text to anyone who wishes to know how to proceed ideologically in regards to any movement for national independence, including Catalonia's.
Thanks for the reading recommendation -- I was just wondering if there's some good theory on essentially what degree of local control is best/what type of independence or autonomy should be supported.
Yeah same. I was wary of mentioning it because it's like what the ukrainian workers and people are defending right now and that's not viewed in a good light here.
