I have noticed that largely most anarchists online are from the first world and that anarchism is very popular than communism in western countries, i.e. its become overtly a first world white people ideology.

While marxism leninism is popular in the third world, with large marxist leninist parties and non existing anarchist forces. What do you think about this?

Not entirely correct. The zapatista movement is not an anarchist movement, nor is it a marxist movement (it's a zapatista movement). But to say they « disavow » anarchism is a stretch. See also A zapatista response to « The EZLN is not anarchist »: « There are anarchists in our midst, just as there are Catholics and Communists and followers of Santeria. We are Indians in the countryside and workers in the city. We are politicians in office and homeless children on the street. We are gay and straight, male and female, wealthy and poor. What we all have in common is a love for our families and our homelands. What we all have in common is a desire to make things better for ourselves and our country. None of this can be accomplished if we are to build walls of words and abstract ideas around ourselves. »

Still, there are a lot of anarchists in Mexico, not just Chiapas. But in Chiapas, too.
