I write these lines the day after the elections to the European Parliament, the dark times, the triumph of the Reactionary International in the elections to the European Parliament. It was already in advance and it is the confirmation of the conservative phase we live in, but it creates fear. In fact, one of the great victories of neoliberalism is the loss of ability to think collectively about future stimulants. It is in this void where the right end finds its place in an uncertain present without desirable prospects.
In this situation I come to speak about utopias and their necessary need. To think about desirable futures, stimulants and emancipators to transfer them to our daily tasks. Surely the moment when the underestimation of those of us who want to talk about utopias strategically will receive new fifths. We have to find new forms of utopia, even though we met them with an island, then they've had moles, planets, red stars, states, compact communities and other forms that today will have to take the form of ideas and imaginaries that will help us along the way.
One of the great victories of neoliberalism is the loss of ability to think collectively about future stimulants.
The dirty, dormid, multiple utopias will probably be what we have to build in the future, since to work advanced and developed utopian ideas, they will have to have an integral vision, with living lives in the center, and that allow analyzing and developing all the possibilities of life, created by the soil, the mud. We must develop a transitional approach to think about the collective sovereignty of the areas that make possible energy, food, living spaces, leisure, care, technology, work and life, to carry out the transformation of our bodies and relationships beyond the cis, patriarchal and anthropocentric model. We need a transhumanist, material and stimulating imagination.
Dirty utopias have always been a reality in our daily lives, and we must learn from people who have lived before, because for us they were lives, practices and projects that would be utopian, and that still exist today. Those that may need to be transformed to expand, but that, while dirty, show us the way. In dark times, to activate the international of hope, we're going to have to work on the landing utopias, dirt stained, rhizomatic, from day to day. C. Ursula As Le Guin said, "because our roots are in the dark, in the land that feeds us."

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... [+]

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
With the new year we are... [+]
Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]
A couple of weeks ago, a number of data from Norway was published. In this country of Northern Europe electric cars have predominated, being the Tesla brand the most sold, with 90% of recyclable energy consumed there. On the contrary, Norwegian public enterprises have no problem... [+]
These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
