Evo presumably thinks that you can reform the capitalist state in the interests of the poor and the oppressed ethnicities.
The Zapatistas think you can ignore the capitalist state and reform society in the interests of the poor and the oppressed ethnicities.
John Ross defends the Zapatista variant, or at least he did last time I heard him. Try raising the question at his talk of how liberation can take place while the capitalists hold state power. If he's true to form, he won't even try to answer the question.
I like John Ross and appreciate his reporting, his poetry and his speaking style. I just don't think he has much to offer as a political analyst.

Lberation can never take place while *anyone* holds state power.
