[edit] EZLN
THe statement that Marcos was the spokeperson for the EZLN "since he could speak many indigenous languages and had been a successful organizer for the EZLN for years" needs to be sourced. I have spent a lot of time researching the EZLN for my thesis and this is the first place I have seen it. My guess is that it is another bit of Marcos folk lore that exists on the net. I'm deleting it for now unless someone can source it. Dklangen 18:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Subcommandante Marcos is not the leader of the EZLN and never has been. He could be regarded as a leader, but more than anything, he is a spokesperson. (I think I'm right in saying this; the book of his writings, Our Word is Our Weapon, states it.) -- Tzartzam
Is there a reference for this "Federal Zapatista State of Chiapas" stuff? I've never heard of that, and i can't seem to find anything about it. I know that the EZLN is attempting to set up autonomous municipalities, but i don't know about this federal state idea. -- Doviende 09:15, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
