Without land for life there is no future
We have run out of the land needed for life. Food production, energy generation, workplaces, meeting points for cultural development, educational spaces, data accumulation all need land and we do not have it, or at least we do not have it in collective ownership. And so it's impossible to build sovereign futures. We have left futures in the hands of private property.
The loss of land for life does not occur without conflicts, and in daily life we see dispute to exploit for the benefit of capital spaces that should be common, leaving in the background the current or future needs for life. It also happens that, among the needs of life, it is about overcoming some needs in front of others, without accepting that life itself is a network of interdependencies. The tensions that we see on the skin are those that are taking place right now in Erdizen, Arbona, the old town of San Sebastian, Piaspe or in many towns, neighborhoods and areas of Euskal Herria and the world. Most of the tensions are due to the importance that the ground still has for capital accumulation, but we will see more and more those that occur as a result of the gradation between the different needs of the citizens. This is a field of universal conflict.
Our Andalusian colleague Oscar García Jurado, master of economics, always reminds us that the land does not lose value, that is why it is the basis of the power of the lords here and there
Our Andalusian colleague Oscar García Jurado, master of economics, always reminds us that the land does not lose value, that is why it is the basis of the power of the lords here and there, and that it is essential that the land be for the one who works and lives there. Along the way we have to work two lines. On the one hand, we need a citizen planning of land use to sort out current and future use based on citizenship rather than capital needs. On the other hand, we must strengthen and expand projects for the recovery of soils and habitable spaces, with close examples: Lurzaindia, Etxalde, La Borda, Marinaleda, Biziola and those who believe.
How can we reverse the situation at a time when the privatization of material toilets has taken place almost and the privatisation of immaterial toilets? The road must be public-community, elaborated by the citizens, creating projects and structures of collective property in our territories with the institutional and cooperative instruments at our disposal, buying, recovering and collectivizing the soil. For example, we can add our savings in Koop57 to recover, from a young age, land for life and futures.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]
On January 15, the techno-business lobby called Cedarios presented its 6th report, Euskadi and the European Union, the shared destiny of prosperity and competitiveness. This neoliberal Think Tank, made up of eminent experts drawn from the world of finance, presented a magical... [+]
We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
