The author tells us how he sees Euskal Herria and his independence today. According to Aristi, clear strategies and tactics are needed for independence and we Basques do not have them. It clearly states that, to the extent that they deny the freedom of peoples, Spain and France are imperialists, they are not democratic, and they have used – and use – violence and all kinds of tricks to dominate Euskal Herria. Or win Spain or Euskal Herria, there is no more.

It strongly criticizes the independence parties because, among other things, they participate in the system of domination created for the Basque Country: “If we want to function as a people, we will have to start giving up the elections that divide the country.” The economic crisis we are experiencing offers the opportunity to take important steps towards independence. Independentism emphasizes that it has important historical references: The Kingdom of Navarre, then “political subject of the Basque people”. “We are all Basque, from all territories, but we are from the Navarro State.” It says that the State of Navarre was conquered, kidnapped, and that the idea of ‘devotion’ has to be recovered. To give importance to words and ideas in this process, it proposes to create

a Laboratory of Political Ideas and an Institute of Independence, to elaborate a dictionary of independence, to practice linguistic input. The book explains with crudety how the winners and the defeated in the struggle between nations behave, and that in order to be winners you have to beat the adversario.El book has served to stop

me on independence and reflect on different situations and concepts. It has not served me, it has given me no clues to imagine another independent process in the current Basque Country, nor to unite Basque territories, nor to deepen the transformation of the relations of forces of minorities and majorities, which must be key in the path of independence.
