Growth is also political

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

If we want to combat oppression, it is not enough to identify, denounce and oppose the tyrant authorities, as history has consistently shown us. It is necessary to pay attention to a mass that so easily accepts the power of these authorities, because it is in the character of the subordinates, as La Boetie warned us, one of the most important factors in understanding oppression.

Wilhelm Reich saw the need to investigate the phenomenon of oppression also from a psychological perspective, and contributed decisively to social and political psychology in the 1930s of the last century, when he wrote the book Psychology of the Mass of Fascism. In it he tried to show that one of the main keys to Hitler's triumph was in people's psychology, giving revolutionaries an important lesson that we have not yet used correctly: the radical manipulation of people's psychology is one of the most powerful weapons of (authoritarian) power, which is to carve the mind of the mass according to specific interests.

"You have to create a structural emotional dependency on a person. And for that, in the early years of life, we usually use a fine engineering of growth that we offer to children."

All societies try to create in future generations the psychological profile necessary to promote this model of society. And because the psychological configuration of the adult is based on childhood, education is the most effective tool that a system uses: a design of the ideal person is made that determines the psychological characteristics that must be incorporated or extracted in a child.

In a society like ours, the main goal is that we are not able to live freely, because those who are not able to live as their own authority will necessarily need the leadership of another person, and this is especially convenient. The Education Directive has been developed for this purpose, losing confidence in ourselves and failing to live in accordance with our principles, so that we can learn to live in accordance with other interests and get used to it. That is the core of the hidden curriculum of
escuela.Esta education is not, of course, an activity that can be carried out without causing harm to children. If they are healthy, and they have enough strength to do so, they will always put a resistance against which a different level of violence will be imposed (and justified). Instructive education implicitly carries an amount of violence.

However, to avoid psychological sovereignty, it is necessary to create a structural emotional dependence on a person. And for that, in the early years of life, we tend to use a fine engineering of growth that we offer to children, much more effective than school education. Not letting a child decide when to breastfeed, when he or she wants to arm, or when he or she will be removed from the diaper is a common, but standardized pediatric practice that is not as neutral or harmless as it is believed. To atrophy our intrinsic ability to freely manage our reality has as a consequence the sowing of dependency in our own biology, which is not up to us to make decisions on important issues, learning from the very beginning.
Education is an activity in the field of policy, but more so in terms of growth. Because through it we will be able to install an interested lifestyle according to the societal regulation, or self-regulation (and self-government), which is the basis of freedom. Faced with indoctrination, we must have an impact on education and on the changes needed to make people psychologically strong (and free).

Is everything tied and well tied?

The Spanish state would become the dystopian stage of Tejerazo, in 1981. There, the political leaders confined to Congress were "invited" to approve a tacit agreement in which the status quo linked to the monarchic system, the bipartisan political system (establishment of closed... [+]

Head by neck

The new government formation has left many unanswered questions, but it is clear that once again we will have to be firm in betting on the Basque Public School. We were told that, although the same party will govern, we would have new faces, but that has not been entirely true... [+]


20 June Joint Initiative for Palestinian Children and Adolescents in Schools

We are parents of Euskal Herria, daughters and sons; they are called Maddi, Izei, Dani, Alaitz, Aida or BEÑAT, but they may be Hatem Salem, Awad Muhammad 14 years old, Zakaria Magdy 6 years old or Nour Ahmed 7 years old. They were all killed by Israel in Gaza.

We can't imagine... [+]

Solitude of the tortured

When we talk publicly about torture, we realize how much society embraces the opinion that the “system” itself puts into effect on this issue. It uses a wide range of ministers and advisers, judges and experts, all with the help of the organic media, of course. And it has to... [+]

How many are too many and enough?
What are our real needs to live well? What is living well? Answering these questions is fundamental in the society of abuse, even more so in times of climate emergency, ecological crisis and civilizing crisis.

Late Spanish

If Valeria Vitella, who 2000 years ago offered an altar stone to the Basque goddess Larrahe, raised his head and found himself face to face with Alberto Santana, what would he say? Surely something like this: "What are you talking about?"

First of all, let us look at it. As a... [+]


Public propaganda instruments of private companies

In recent times we have had in the media Aitor Uriarte, representative of the renewable energy company Solaria, to pay tribute to the benefits of the macro-projects they want to carry out. In the case of the appearance of Radio Euskadi on May 28, I felt a deep shame of the... [+]

Tardeo

The new word that we have heard in recent years: delay. I suspect that there will be changes in place. I only know that of Bilbao, and it seems very simple: those of us who are of an age, we have named ourselves the name of what we did the first night, that is, and, in short, do... [+]


No emergency measures!

In prisons dependent on the Basque Government, Basque political prisoners have lost a great deal in terms of communication with our family and friends. The number of monthly prefixes is lower and their duration is shorter. So, even if we get closer, we devote less time to the... [+]


Taste is mine

An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.

The Laws of Life

The most promising futures are more concerned about the future than the long-term ones. It's the CCCLXIX law of life. It seems like a mouthpiece, but the laws of life I don't write them, but life itself.

Cumulation

The other day I wrote a message to META. Say, I thought and I started to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hasn't slept since then, because it wasn't just any message, I wrote it rather dry. Edge, almost. Through an Instagram video I learned that META will use the information its users share... [+]
