Historically we remember General Emiliano Zapata and the Zapatistas, who constituted a Communal Autonomy in the state of Morelos, formed an organization with deep social roots and independent of the State, they based their decisions around General Assemblies and where through their struggle they liquidated latifundios, nationalized sugar mills, returned to communities land stolen with impunity for centuries, restored the use of water, switched to local authorities, imposed forced loans on merchants and ranchers, and took into their hands production in the latifundios.
