'The world now has a new kind of hero, one who listens more than speaks, who preaches in riddles not in certainties, a leader who doesn't show his face, who says his mask is really a mirror. And in the Zapatistas, we have not one dream of a revolution but a dreaming revolution.' Naomi Klein 'In this age of 'Anti-Corporate, Inc', the tempered words of Subcomandante Marcos read like an instruction manual for future rebellions' Observer
