One of the most symbolic phrases of Zapatismo was that the land belongs to the tiller, reflecting a kind of privatism, originally coined by Zapata himself while trying to remove the chieftaincy in Mexico and restore possession of the land to the peasant classes the south. The phrase and what it represents became the symbol of Mexican Agrarianism.[1][2] After Zapata's death the Zapatista Army of National Liberation adopted a radicalized form of this philosophy known as Neozapatismo.
