Continue with the cooperative wave of Euskalgintza
The agents who are working on the development of transformative cooperativism tell us, through five cooperative waves, the development of Basque cooperativism, with the aim of giving depth to its history and plurality of character. In this sense, we place the third cooperative wave in the flowering of the self-training projects that was the Basque cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.
Even though that wave provided a plentiful harvest that has come to this day, some projects were halfway or without real development, such as the stone apostles of Oteiza, who for fifteen years remained on the edge of the Arantzazu road. What happened along the way?
"In the coming convulsive and apocalyptic times, the choice of Basque culture will be important: approval or transformation; submission or sovereignty"
The 1970s gave many possibilities of self-formation, as the pulsation of the need to do everything developed strong citizen dynamics. But it was also the time of institutionalization, as the self-formed instruments also had the need to achieve stable forms. This need was developed in three ways: administrative public, market and social economy. The paradigm of regime 78 was the great development of public space. Also in the field of Basque culture, especially in its beginnings, several self-formed projects became public, always within the framework of the State of the Autonomies. From time to time, this line began to diffuse, especially due to the paradigm of commodification, and from a moment on, projects with a goal and a public or community vision tended to be homologated within the framework of the capitalist market. Where, then, has the social economy remained?
Many projects, fleeing from the autonomic state model or from the merkantila dichotomy, have chosen to move forward in the cooperative formulas they have adopted from the beginning or later, addressing the path of community autonomy offered by the social economy. In the bases of Basque cultural activity it has been important to answer questions such as what and how: resources and structures have been created to live in Basque, but it has been given importance to manage them in a citizen and democratic way, since solidaridad.En the next convulsive and apocalyptic times, the choice of Basque culture will be important: approval or transformation; submission
or sovereignty. We have projects that draw futures in Euskera, such as the Aiaraldea Activity Branch. Cooperativism and independent work will be important instruments on the road to transformation.

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]
On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]
In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
