If I tell you that all men, by birth, are equal, you will tell me that it is obvious. However, in these days, when I see and read what I have said about the kings and those around Spain, I thought that this matter has something to say.

It seems to me that people do not believe too much in the real equality of human beings. Basically, we believe that some are more valuable than others and that they have the right to live better.

These two ideas indicate the extent to which the myths upon which liberalism is based are internalized. They make us believe that in society there are two groups: those who generate wealth and the others, those who are worthy of being rulers and those who are made to work; those who deserve to be revered and those who are common. In addition, they make us believe that the “valuable” have to receive a good in return for what they have done. Traditional market law, in a one-dimensional society.

We mention Athenian democracy, often when we talk about equality, but we forget that those “citizens” were, above all, local elites, and beyond that there was nothing but slavery and submission. At the beginning of modern society, the enlightened proclaimed Egalité, but, like the former, equality lay solely with the bourgeois elite who paid taxes.

In the 20th century, with universal suffrage, we've been led to think that we're all citizens, but those elites continue to rule at the end of the bureaucratic system. Because we leave it to you.

In Spain, there was never a revolution and the bourgeois elite has joined the feudal elite. Unfortunately, the problem has doubled. As long as one quarter of the population remains unemployed, we have to see, in the staircase of the system, the number of adulterers and adulterers there, the number of so-called citizens who wish to be servants, servants and subjects.

Surprising is the number of “enlightened” people who are willing to bend their heads in the face of a medieval waste, willing to kneel to ask for something, in the desire to receive a favor in the return of power, at least under a pretext of institutional loyalty.

You will tell me that Basque society is not like that, that we are “different”… Are you sure? In the festivities of my people, the municipal authorities (which should be their representatives), dressed elegantly, when they parade from the church to the City Hall, after receiving the greetings of the dantzaris, come to listen to the municipal band. In the repertoire is the well-known song, Happy Slaves.
