His critics maintained that Monsiváis ' life was filled with social movements interweaved with real life politics and entertainment figures as he wrote about that " 1968 army massacre " whose death toll varied from 25 to 350 depending on the sources . Monsiváis became an early defender of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation . In 1994 , he supported the Zapatistas 's Chiapas revolt on behalf of Mexico 's indigenous peoples .
