Subcomandante Marcos is the de facto spokesman for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), a Mexican rebel movement. He was also known as Delegado Cero during the EZLN's Other Campaign (2006–2007), and since May 2014 has gone by the name Subcomandante Galeano.
Marcos is an author, political poet, and outspoken opponent of globalization, capitalism and neo-liberalism. Marcos wants the Mexican constitution changed to recognize the rights of the country's indigenous Mexicans. The internationally known guerrillero has been described as a "new" and "postmodern" Che Guevara, or a cross between Mad Max and Zorro.BBC Profile: The Zapatistas' mysterious leader by Nathalie Malinarich, March 11, 2001Zapatistas Launch ‘Other’ Campaign by Ramor Ryan, The Indypendent, January 12, 2006 Published translations of his writings, speeches and interviews exist in at least nineteen languages.
