It looks like sub-commandante is a bit ignorant on the subject, or at least swallows raw the conservative canard that civil society = charity. It does not. Not only charity accounts for a minuscule portion of the civil society support (most revenues come from volunteer work, self-support, and government payments), but development agencies are often agents of empowerment, especially in Africa.
