The two members of the Zapatista support bases who were detained by the state have been released. It is interesting the read the EZLN's recounting of events.
What stands out is that the acts the two were accused of were committed by other individuals. The Zapatistas claim to have identified those individuals and then turned them over to the state.
This series of events is remarked upon as being a success. But is handing people over to the clutches of the state ever an "achievement"? It points to those frictions within autonomies of where autonomy ends and the state begins. Other autonomous projects, such as Cherán, also cooperate with the state at times on issues of "justice."
I don't have a solution, but I wonder about other possibilities. If the Zapatistas, correctly, I believe, see the capitalist state as an "empire of death," does anyone deserve to be turned over to it, even those they label "criminals"?
