Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

What are some non-ML movements (past and present) that you guys strongly support? (lemmygrad.ml)

Me personally, I find the EZLN fascinating. (if there is anything bad about them, let me know because I do not know much bad things about them)

They are one of the few movements that anarchists praise that I actually think are based, although the Zapatistas have told westerners to stop calling them anarchists, communists, or anything else.

They also fight against drug cartels and seem to have created one of the most stable territories in the Chiapas region.

However, they are too small to do anything big like overthrowing the Mexican government. They would be crushed quickly.

Give me your thoughts on the EZLN and/or, as the title suggests, any non-ML movements that you support.

I am skeptical of the PSUV's version of events as well as the CPV's, but the CPV doesn't present any concrete solutions to Venezuela's problems. Despite their rhetoric and that they claim the government is unfairly targeting them, they play right into the hands of the imperialists that wanted to sanction, slander, balkanize and invade Venezuela. They call an end to sanctions yet are ambivalent about a potential overthrow of Maduro and his cabinet, but they provide no concrete plan for addressing Venezuela's precarious economic sabotage or fighting against the cartels and CIA agents or multinational billion-dollar corporations that all have a stranglehold on the Bolivarian republic, beyond just concepts and ideas, that will occur if the PSUV is dismantled.
