All this has to do with the aggressive and defensive fronts that put capital on the table, in the inevitable class struggle that we are all in, whether we are conscious or not. Thus, most of the media are on their side as the vanguard of their system, which, together with the powers of the capitalist state, the parties, the unions, the church, the centers of studies, organisms and intellectuals that fill the system, keep us, add to the reasoning of bourgeois philosophy and make us believe the possible and the impossible. If someone, in a very conscious way, directs their line of action towards those at the bottom or those who sell their workforce, we say again, with or without conscience, that it is the capital and its class, the bourgeois class.
- Colombia: As long as the oligarchs and their imperialist holders cleanse political militants and former guerrillas, the forces of the FARC community (surrendered the weapons and ideology and surrendered to the murderous oligarchy a part of the FARC-EP) make public votes so that their surrender/treason is not so obvious. It is no coincidence that those who here dissolved the Basque National Liberation Movement politically supported Timochenko and the company, as the narco system of Colombia, the corrupt and the oligarchs are fighting. Nor is it by chance that part of the Colombian Catholic Church calls for the release of three of the prisoners into the hands of the ELN, while the Colombian regime neglects the atrocities it is carrying out a few centimeters away from the holy clergy.
- Uruguay: In their day, the Tupamaros ended the monopoly of violence on capital. Apparently, it was wrong and the arms of the oppressed were questioned, so some claimed guilty of the imposed military oligarchic dictatorship. After disappearances, murders, torture, etc., they acted under the rules of the bourgeois dictatorship, so today they have a right-wing president and the Communist Party of Uruguay, as other "left" structures, shouts that they will fight for democracy. In other words, he publicly states that his goal is not to fear the noise of the sabers, nor is he moving half a meter away from the limits set by the bourgeoisie.
- Latin America: Socialism in the 21st century. In essence, the same reformist thesis of the past centuries, sustained by social democracy with different costumes and ornaments. The so-called leftist parties want to reform capitalism by giving the image of delight, but capital continues to bring added value without any consideration. Sometimes, although it apparently ceases to govern, it retains jealous economic, military power and the set of means or instruments for its reproduction. In addition, if things become crazy, they place as president a civil pawn through the propaganda of social networks, or show other models of fascist coup based on their geographic location, politics and other objective and subjective conditions.
- Spain: The Constitutional Court (TC 118/2019) advocates freedom of enterprise and the defence of production in the dismissal of workers on sick leave. Nothing is happening, however, because the leftist parties and the unions have to play the role that the capitalist system has assigned them.
- Basque Country: A former ETA prisoner says: "There's no truth. Then he states that "the truth does not exist." The reaction seeks encouragement, needs, fatigue, lack of scruples and ethics … and it seems evident that the myths that are idealistic and small bourgeois are at the orders of the bourgeoisie. There is class struggle in Euskal Herria (occupied and exploited) and in the world, whether it be blurred or covert, because some want it to be like this. It is undeniable, because if not, the bourgeoisie (which has the color it has) and the capital become bleached again.
Euskal Herria’s largest newsletter (and…, referred to by the PSOE-GAL) points out that the agreement between PNV, PSOE and EP is nothing more than a trite game, as it denaturalizes the pre-agreement of the new vasconado Statute signed by EH Bildu and the PNV. The same one that has not been tired of repeating that without the PSOE and the PNV there could be no progress and nothing could be achieved. Now, the Basque social democracy complains of the Basque and Spanish bourgeoisie for not complying with what was agreed, while it benefits the PSOE-GAL. It should be remembered that, recently, the leaders of Sortu ensured the independence of Euskal Herria within six years and, at the same time and intermittently, at the door, justify their political action and, at the least, the denial of the historical objectives of independence and socialism.
We end with the telegraphic conclusions that we draw from the facts cited and many others that due to lack of time and paper we cannot list.
In order to achieve independence and socialism, in particular in the Basque Country, we cannot ignore the struggle. We don't have to ask anyone for permission to decide on our future. The right of self-determination had its function and was recognized by the international bourgeois order, since sometimes, inevitably, the will of the armed peoples defeated the metropolis and on other occasions, for economic reasons advantageous to the imperialists. From the logical, ethical, legal, political and ideological law of the enemy that oppresses and exploits us, we do not have to ask or expect anything. In the future, the future well-being of those who sell labour in Euskal Herria (as well as the struggle to maintain the acquired power and revolutionary internationalism) will be the Basque Socialist State, because otherwise there will be no welfare. Let us build the Socialist and Revolutionary Basque National Liberation Movement! Always go ahead!
