Does eco-axism come to us?
The eco-social crisis generated by capitalism is causing global unrest across the planet. The "summits" of material and energy resources, establishing limits for growth and accumulation, entail imbalances between nature and society. The crazy wheels of extractivism, climate change and biodiversity loss. The crises of surveillance and food, the weakening of democracy, racism, xenophobia, necropolitics and wars are part of this disturbing panorama. Crisis of complex and diverse civilization.
While the "imperial life" of the capitalist elites increasingly condemns more people to misery, right-wing populism continues to grow throughout the world.
The ultra-right groups want to divert their eyes from the process of expropriation and expulsion that we are experiencing. According to Yayo Herrero, this process can only be hidden in an environment of tension, violence, fear and hysteria.
In this way, we perceive the reappearance of the ecologist discourse in the new authoritarian populisms. Ethnoecologism for whites and Europeans. Dismantle the "communist" monopoly of ecological issues and use racism and xenophobia in the defence of the rights of the nation.

What to do? Learn from history and make a proper analysis. In German Nazism and in the Spanish phalanx, we have historical examples that allow us to understand these relationships between ecology and the extreme right. On the contrary, I believe that eofascism is not a category or concept of aid. New fascisms appear everywhere. Territorial fascism (Trump, Bolsonaro, Salvini…) that establishes internal and external borders to distinguish leftover citizens. Or the fossil fascism of Andreas Malm and Zetkin Collective. In his view, fossil technologies have been born full of racism.
I am convinced, as Emilio Gentile says, that talking about the "return of fascism" or "eternal fascism" does not make any historical sense. It increases misinformation about what fascism really was and prevents us from understanding the present.
Some authors prefer the "environmentalism of the extreme right". I think it is more politically and ideologically appropriate, where we find a mixture of fascism, conservatism and nationalpopulism. And in it, naturalism, spirituality, mysticism, authority, autarky, nostalgia and Manichaism as heuristic devices.
The European ultra-right have contradictory positions. From negationism to pragmatic environmentalism, always for racist and chauvinistic reasons. The guilt… immigrants!
According to Arundhati Roy, "never simplify what is complicated or tangled simple."

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]
I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]

Euskaraldia comes back. Apparently, it will be in the spring of next year. They have already presented it and the truth is that it has surprised me; not Euskaraldia himself, but his motto: We'll do it by moving around.

I do not know if you also have the same perception – I recognise this: here I have started to write in a scientific way. I am referring to the natural extension of the word laziness. I hear more and more in the corners of Hego Euskal Herria: Basque, Spanish and, of course,... [+]
Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
I have always found the way in Spanish to the carriages that can be found here and there: humiliating. Isn't it a pretty light, white name or doesn't it have any connotation? After all, everything that was going on there had to be humiliated. It is known that for the god of... [+]
The end of the Syrian Arab Republic has caused great surprise at the way in which it has taken place: fast and almost without resistance. However, it is not so strange when we consider that the country was destroyed, impoverished and trodden. Most Syrians have long been... [+]
Novelty is usually one of the most heard words associated with the Durango Fair. The novelty is there, and here's the novelty. However, in some cases it is sufficient to give a different aspect to the previous one to paste that label. The CDs and remastered reeditions with... [+]

Young people start consuming pornography before, as porn is their only sex education. How on earth have we come here?
Today, it has to be acknowledged that thanks to the Internet it is much easier to see pornography. Unfortunately, through a click, the 7-9 year-old boy comes to... [+]
