The Zapatistas are organized like a popular militia. The military commanders wanted to build something more centralized in this Mexican state, but the locals did not like this idea. It does not fit well with the traditions of indigenous peoples.

The only free people are those who possess police powers.
As soon as someone has authority over you, you become their slave.
Can these villagers arrest the drug king with as much authority as they can arrest the village hobo?
I don't believe that an arrest is a possible and desired action between individuals of equal rights. For me it is enough that drug king can't arrest me. And I don't want to arrest him. That is true anarchy, true freedom.
So you don’t want those dirty powers Americans had from 1776-1960s?
If you support a cast system, and the inequality under the law that comes with it, you are on team tyranny.
You’d be the enemy of us freedom lover’s in the coming civil war.
It's a tribalism. I don't want to choose between two evils. I don't consider that anyone should have a right to arrest anyone else. Self-defense - yes. Arrest - no.
