In 2006, the people of Oaxaca, Mexico rose up against the oppression of the bosses and the state.
They seized the radio stations and began broadcasting their messages of liberation widely.
They laid out barricades to block the streets at night so that government thugs couldn't come in to smash shit up.
100 hundred days freer then any of us can imagine.

A beautiful example of a militant North America anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, movement.
Please read more about this movement and the struggle of the EZLN (Zapatista Army of National Liberation) in Chiapas, Mexico who have lived autonomously since 1994. Viva Zapatismo.

There are some really beautiful things in this world.

lyrics

Law enforcement in the streets with no one else around.
Black and white smoke fills the air as we burn this city down.
"City Upon A Hill" must be drowned.

Material conditions forcing revolution
-200 years in the making.
Love and insurrection, no more self-rejection
You've got this thing coming.

Without mass mobilization, there is no revolution.
Without armed struggle, there is no victory.
