HOLY SHIT that's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING, I AM DYING WITH AMAZING AMAZING pride!!!!!
The big question comes in how they set up the parallel government. A lot of people have jumped the gun and assumed that this means Revolution.
But a nonviolent movement would not set up a government of taxation, police, and the military, but a system of caring and sharing, of working through disputes, of lifting up one another in ways that make the failed state irrelevant.
Something like the Kingdom of Heaven.
I think this could be very, very, very interesting.
hahahaha! !!!
nice. i've got to read into this a bit more later on...just got back from the local grito! what perfect news to return to!
The-powers-that-would-be seem to think that this will just go away.
Ha!
It will just go away...the PRD is already splitting, or actually being torn apart by Lopez. Don't forget that the 2006 elections were the most successful in the PRD's history, even with Lopez's loss. The PRD is now the second largest party in Mexico, just behind the PAN. The new Mexican government will be inheriting a strong economy and a budget surplus. Cardenas has already started moving to the left, so the PRD knows it can get some good legislation passed during his term - indigenous rights law, agricultural reform, welfare and education programs. The PRD legislator's now have a choice to make - join Lopez's movement or accept the results of the 2006 election (with all its flaws) and take office. I think it is pretty clear that they will soon dump Lopez if he continues with his theatrics.
