This dissertation investigates three hypotheses: 1) that, since 1994, we have been living in a long cycle of global anti-capitalist protests which would have the Zapatismo – and not Seattle – as its initiator movement; 2) that spin-off movements would have emerged from it: not only the anti-globalization movement, but also those most recent ones, like 15M-Indignados and Occupy Wall Street or still its São Paulo version, the Ocupa Sampa movement – that, in 2011, maintained a camp for 41 days in the Anhangabaú Valley and which this research explores in more details; and 3) that, in the end, such protests would not only have been using the countercultural, anarchist and autonomous repertoires, as the literature has shown, but also a repertoire coming from Liberation Theology, which is diluted in the composition of the Zapatista repertoire. By demonstrating the decisive role played by Liberation Theology in the route change the Zapatista Army of National Liberation [EZLN] had to go through – being forced to abandon its original marxist-maoist approach in favour of a horizontal way of organising similar to that one from the Basis Ecclesial Communities (CEBs) –, this dissertation argues that, without the presence of Liberation Theology on its genesis, the Zapatismo would hardly have been successful in setting in motion a cycle of protests; as well as least likely to have been welcomed by the “new left” which emerges after the fall of the Berlin Wall as its greatest inspiration.
