Neoliberalisms of the Basque Country (I)
The long process of assimilation and cultural substitution of our people is taking place in a capitalist context. The characteristics and criteria of the market economy also explain the decline suffered by the Basque Country and affect its development. On the one hand, because this logic of the consumer society has not (quite) favoured the Basque people, at least for the time being. The market encourages the standardisation of culture to facilitate sales, to multiply capital gains and wealth. Usury admires the main languages and disregards the Basque country, naturalizing this prepower. Cultural ethnocide is profitable to him. In addition, the Basques also have the hedonism and narcissism of consumerism meted to the bones. We're drawn to the big stuff, and we've become fans of bizarre products and indiscriminate consumers.
Liberalism encourages deregulation of the markets and, from the same logic, prevents regulation in favor of the Basque country. Moreover, it can be said that our regulation is simulated.
On the other hand, destructive developmentalism has turned the territory into a gigantic mare, making people naked, matching the landscapes with cement and bringing down culture. It is characterized by its desire to be enriched, by its desire to accumulate soon profit and by its vanity. It has people by objects. Moreover, it does not allow them to be subject, because it is based on power, on attitudes (powerlessness), and provokes addictions, tactics and indirectly. We Basques are a hindrance to capital, which is a cost to guarantee our rights and to contribute to the dignification of our culture. In addition, it does not recognize migrants who consider cheap labour to have a culture and does not facilitate access to Basque culture.
Finally, it should be remembered that liberalism drives deregulation of the markets and that, from the same logic, it avoids a favorable regulation for the Basque country. Moreover, it can be said that our regulation is simulated, as it is not often applied (public contracts, consumer issues…). Furthermore, leading to liberalisation, the administration has privatised many services and prevented their Euskaldunisation for many years. In the same vein, managers ask Basque creators to stop crying and act under parameters of efficiency and competitiveness as if it were an egalitarian situation. Likewise, they leave the normalization of the use of Euskera over the natural process and the management of people, avoiding institutional tasks and leaving aside the collective character of the language.
The causes of these variables are system posts. Recently, Allartean in his blog has pointed out the CAV Popular Party as a model of linguistic liberalism. Well, I would include others in this view. Do we list them?

Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
