The business of trafficking in black people, in this case from Africa to the Caribbean, has also led to members of the Basque oligarchy. For example, the Ybarra de Neguri family has been a great beneficiary. Some members of this family maintained this business in the 19th century. It is curious to note that the internal communications mentioned the goods – slave trade – the “681 packages” and the “600 dirty wool basin”. To prevent the confiscation of the British war army, the slaves were thrown into the sea before reaching the port, and so they chose the strongest who would swim to the coast.

From that “business” also wrote Javier de Ibarra, from that saga, in chapters 5 and 6 of the book We the Ybarra (Gu, ibarratarrok), which concludes as follows: “And thus ended the penetration of ybarratarras into such turbulent businesses.” Was the selective slave trade in the Gulf of Guinea nothing more than “scrapped business”? Were the creation of weapons for the Franco army and its allies in the feud of the Ybarra, in the AHV blast furnaces, in 1936, also “mixed businesses”?

Capitalism has always been savage, anti-human, anti-social and even criminal. Even though today they want to dress in a more human face, this capitalism continues to attack and continue to attack by the same keys, seeking maximum performance. A system in which the objective always justifies resources.
