Does Capitán Insurgente Marcos have the coolest Wikipedia header pic of any socialist? (hexbear.net)

Are there other leaders who have intro pics nearly as drippy as this? Like this shit goes stupid hard

Also Schools for Chiapas, an organization run to help support the Zapatista community, has recently expanded their online store and has some new cool and unique items! Consider purchasing from there especially if you need bath/body products or coffee. Additionally, many of the donations on the site are now able to be written off on your taxes, so check those out as well!

I didn't know that he was no longer a subcommandante; my knowledge of what's been happening in the last decade or so in Chiapas is clearly out of date, so I'm glad you shared this.

Zapatista coffee slaps. Really tasty stuff.

I wish I could get it here at a reasonable price, or without going through a few layers of middlemen skimming profit off the top. It's really good coffee.

Marcos was basically a PR campaign for the zapatistas so that's why he's got the coolest persona and most benign rhetoric. The PR campaign was successful but it wasn't translating into much material success for the zapatistas so they canceled it. IIRC Marcos was a Jesuit priest who volunteered for the role.
