Both of your examples fared incredibly poorly under external pressure and collapsed. Which is pretty much what happens with every poorly aligned group of people.

Mexico itself is under a lot of pressure due to the cartels, some of which are armed and supported by the United States to act as a destabilizing force.
But the Zapatistas are not hiding from the threat. How can a territory with borders containing hundreds of thousands of individuals hide? They are taking the threat seriously, of course, and have heightened security, but aren’t hiding.
By contrast, Stalin would have probably executed a few thousand innocent people to respond to such a situation.
