I am curious what issues the larger communities have if you have more information on that?
I read part one of EZLN's "Autonomous Governement" but had forgotten about that. IIRC, one issue they mentioned is that when they invested in services, people outside the autonomous areas wanted to use them but didn't help support them at the same level as they were using them, which increased the difficulty of providing services for the community. I should read the first one again and the rest of them. The english translations are available at:

You link confuses the Zapatista Galeano with the writer Eduado Galeano, at least to the extent of implying that Subcomandante Galeano is named after the writer. The Zapatista Galeano was killed by paramilitary forces (that came from two rightwing parties, the Green Ecologist Party and the National Action Party, as well as the Independent Center for Agricultural Workers and Historic Peasants) who also destroyed a school and health clinic.

- saganus 9y agoI am not really aware of specific issues with larger ones, but I've never seen mention of sizes beyond a certain point (small towns, marginalized areas in the mountains, etc). I'd love to have better references on this. No, I was trying to refer to Eduardo the writer. He's written about Zapatistas' Caracoles a bit. Can't find the specific text though :(
- joveian 9y agoI'll keep an eye out for translations of Eduado Galeano's work, thanks for the recommendation!
- saganus 9y agoI think it's going to be pretty hard to find the relevant texts among Galeano's work. Closest thing I could find with a tiny bit of information about Caracoles is the Wikipedia page translated with Google :/ https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fes.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCaracoles_y_Juntas_de_Buen_Gobierno&edit-text=&act=url https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&js=y&prev... But at least maybe you can find some pointers there in case you want to do a bit more research. In any case, my Keybase profile is in my hn profile so you can get in touch with me if you want to. Cheers!
