un mundo donde quepan muchos mundos
(a world in which many worlds fit) … a world of many walks
i was writing a story where there was a worm that crawls into peoples ears… it’s a completely normal occurrence… and the worm will heighten their intuition to a point where they know exactly what they are to perform from that point on… it is very systematic, every individual will be chosen when it is the right time to hold certain powers in the world.. so every person on earth at one point will be president of the world.
and it reminded me of the zapatista…
above is there slogan
I want to imagine a world where home feels like a shared experience, I imagine a world where people do not feel like their home is under threat of human destruction.
It blows my mind that a nation supposedly against socialism/communism runs its military like its model. everyone i know who is in the military are well off.. at least the people who I know who aren’t dissident, those who have not been traumatized (money can only help so much when you live with PTSD) …

On 1 January 1994, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), an indigenous armed organisation, declared war on the Mexican Government, demanding “work, land, housing, food, health, education, independence, liberty, democracy, justice and peace.”1 This article explains the factors that encouraged this indigenous uprising that began in Chiapas, Mexico, by highlighting the interests and demands of the indigenous peoples as well as the Mexican Government’s responses to them. It also addresses the limitations that both sides experienced during the struggle, and the consequences and effects this conflict brought to indigenous rights and living standards in Mexico. The EZLN movement was an eye-opening event for both the Mexican government and the non-indigenous population to realise the alarming situation of indigenous people in Chiapas. The indigenous conflict in Chiapas not only provoked a domestic awareness of indigenous rights, recognition and self-determination, but also an international awakening on these issues.

i became more aware of the Zapatistas because of Arturo Escobar’s pluriverse … which is concept often described as the Zapatistas slogan … before I understood who either were I have always felt this way about the world… that multiple, unknowable amounts of worlds are within our one world… it is why I am so interested in Sufism and the poetry of Sufism, of writers like Doris Lessing and science fictions*(because though something may seem out of this world, or completely science fiction it is, or must make a conscious effort to believe that other beings (living or non-living presenting) are experiencing a real lived reality that we are not experiencing and that we cannot understand no matter how amazing our imagination is… like the colours humans will never experience, bees and birds and so many other animals experience the world in a completely unknowable way, of course in theory we can imagine but it does not make their living experience non-existent and non-important)
