Getting There: The Road to the Zapatista Encuentro

https://crimethinc.com/Encuentroad

The Zapatistas burst onto the world stage on New Year's Day 1994 with an uprising that established an autonomous zone in Chiapas.

Die AfD ist schon lange keine rechtspopulistische Partei, sondern eine rechtsextreme. Wenn wir Rechtspopulismus in unserem Wortschatz nutzen, so lange verharmlosen wir das Wesen dieser Partei. Rechtsextremismus ist das richtige Wort. Worte gestalten die Wahrnehmung und die Entscheidungen der Menschen. Mit Rechtsextremismus verbinden wir Menschenfeindlichkeit. Rechtspopulismus klingt dagegen zu niedlich und das Wort macht eine Wahl der AfD wahrscheinlicher.
