Article on Zapatista paths to peace in the pluriverse by Felix Krawczyk
The Zapatista movement (EZLN) has renewed its political approach and emphasized the principle of “communalism and non-ownership” as the core of an alternative peace process. This approach focuses on relationships—between people, communities, and the more-than-human environment—and thus fundamentally challenges the logic of capitalist modernity.
In his contribution to the Pluriversum des Friedens series, Felix Krawczyk shows how the Zapatistas understand war and crisis as expressions of capitalist world orders and why they counter them not only militarily, but also by strengthening communal practices and autonomous territories. The article makes it clear that peace arises where new forms of coexistence are tried out, commons are defended, and relationships of solidarity are built—beyond state and market-based guidelines.
