On August 9-11, 2013, a few months before the 20th anniversary of their uprising against the Mexican government on January 1, 1994, the Zapatistas decided to throw a party. Subcomandante insurgente Moisés sent out word to “quienes se hayan sentido convocados”) (those who feel called) to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the creation of the five Zapatista five ‘caracoles’ (Autonomous Municipalities), each with its own governing structure or ‘Junta of Good Government’ (Junta del Buen Gobierno). The caracoles were set up to organize and provide health care, education, and basic services to the various autonomous communities who receive nothing from the state. As opposed to the ‘mal’ or bad government that rules over Mexico and most other parts of the world, the five or so men and women of the Junta de Buen Gobierno who serve on a rotating basis are voted in by the community and have to obey community mandates.
