[RED RAGE]

Has anyone seen the DVD or video, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - THE BATTLE OF MEXICO CITY? If so, have you seen the documentry bit showning the communist rebellion in south-east mexico and how did it make you people feel, seeing real rebellion in action? It affected me, seeing people like you and me rebelling against oppression in a way which has made more militant. especially since the USA backed the Mexican Dictator when all the people wanted was some freedom and some basic human rights! How about you guys?

Marcos is a genius. I saw his interview adn he talked for ever from his mind.

EDIT: VIVE LA ZAPITISTA

Everytime I go to buy that DVD I can never get it. There's a card in HMV saying that they have BOMC but there's never any copies of it there. They probably don't bother restocking it any more. Anyone want to make me a copy? :biggrin:

[ireallyhadablackout]

yes, its quite intriguing. the mind set, i mean.

definately should not be exploited by any measure. :angry:

bornofzapatasguns,

im not sure which dvd i am replying to, mainly because its a VHS and though i have analysed the tape several times (damn, its amazing how many new things i pick up on every time) i dont even know the title of the vhs only that it came with a single copy of "The ghost of Tom Joad." hmm. now im curious about which tape i actually own.

if your serious, and i dont have the one your speaking on, yes. i would be interested. thanks. :smile:

[ireallyhadablackout]

opps, never mind. how embarrassing. me thinks you were offering...so with that said i say this...

if the copy i own is the same one, then yes i will get you a copy. first, let me find out its title. its actually down the street at my families house, i dont own a vcr.

red, what mexican dictator are we speaking on? im not clear on what you mean.

[Rebelde para Siempre]

Yes, I have the DVD.

First of all the Zapatistas are not communists. Secondly, yes Mexico is a dictatorship, albeit hiding behind a veil of democracy.

[RED RAGE]

Ah, i see, i thort that they were communist, still... they were after freedom, still thing that we fight for so still, its relevant to us.

[truthaddict11]

isit true that BOMC is edited?

[RED RAGE]

I dont know, possibly... There is parts of it that dont seem to fit with whats happeneing on stage. Then agen, most of it sounds authentic.

[Smoking Frog II]

it felt good.

[GuErRrIlLa]

It made me feel real good that people like the EZLN our around. To fight against opression.

[Organic Revolution]

the zapatistas are democratic socialists. for more info on them read the book the zapatista reader our our words are our weapons by comedente marcos

[redstaruser]

that has to be one of the best dvd's i own. The rebellion action was great, the marcos interview, genius!, and the noam chotsky interview, amazing, everythign about that dvd was great!

[dsmtuner]

Damn straight!
