The Paris workers’ shots at the clocks in 1830 and the taking of San Cristóbal de las Casas by Zapatista Indigenous people in 1994: Some notes on discontinuity

Abstract

This short essay presents the idea of the non-linear temporality of the struggle against the rule of capital and suggests the “secret” link between past generations that produced significant ruptures in domination and the Zapatista movement. It also points out some aspects of what we venture to call the temporal form of Zapatismo.
