International criminals —authors of war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity— as such, possess no human or political rights in general. Peoples defend themselves against them by virtue of the right to self-determination, the right to independence and territorial integrity of the state, and all legal means recognized by international law, including the inherent right of self-defense.

They claim to be victims of separatism, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing, labeling as such the right of peoples to self-determination. The national differentiation of peoples is the very basis of international law, but what the ideological agents of imperialism attempt to conceal and confuse through the recovery-falsification of terms and concepts is the denial of peoples' right to independence: it is the policy of liquidation and genocide...

El nombramiento todavía reciente, con que, tras largo forcejeo, fué provista la sede episcopal de San Sebastián, fué un hecho de notable significado: la política eclesiástica, después de un paréntesis de largos años consecuencia de la derrota vasca frente a la Cruzada de 1936, reconocía oficialmente la "existencia" del Pueblo Vasco.

Sería, por supuesto, exagerado... y peligroso creer que ello entraña un amplio reconocimiento de la justicia de sus exigencias y la consiguiente decisión de satisfacerlas. En cuanto a lo que supone como constatación de una potencialidad social con la que es preciso contar, no parece que la Jerarquía aprecia más necesidad que la de adaptarse a ella mediante procedimientos más complejos y flexibles que los hasta ahora empleados...

What strategy has "Euskal Herria" pursued in recent years? Why? What are the results?

I will refer to Hegoalde [Southern Basque Country] (although in Iparralde [Northern Basque Country] more or less the same thing happened). In the 1960s, the Country allowed itself to fall into a trap by adopting two infrastrategical and complementary paths: "the institutional path (Pnv)" and "attacks (Eta)", only for everyone to end up in the "institutional" one, largely promoted and directed by imperialism itself. Now, institutions serve the political power that establishes them; that is what they are made for. Both, lacking their own ideology and strategy ("the people who lack their own strategy necessarily make that of others"), have adopted the dominant ideology, have openly shifted to imperialism, of which they are the most obstinate, residual, and backward ideological commando, and now it is easy to observe that the Pnv-Eta combination has fully integrated into the PsoE...

El fascismo es una de las formas que adopta el capitalismo cuando se dan ciertas condiciones sociales e históricas. Habrá que tener presente, pues, dos cosas:
a) Que se trata de un sistema capitalista;
b) Que es una forma distinta entre las diversas que adopta el capitalismo a lo largo de su desarrollo. No debe de ser confundido con esas otras formas, con el neocapitalismo o con el capitalismo de estado por ejemplo.

Aunque todos los regímenes que cumplen con las condiciones que definen al fascismo son correctamente llamados fascistas, siempre se dan entre ellos diferencias de detalle que los singularizan entre sí. Consecuencia: al adoptar un determinado régimen como modelo fascista, los que no sean idénticos a él pueden ser considerados -por los ingenuos- como exteriores a esta forma específica del capitalismo...

Hemos señalado en el apartado anterior algunas características específicas del poder político, principalmente las adscritas al género de recurso que utiliza para el desempeño de sus múltiples y variadas tareas. Ahora vamos a destacar otra propiedad que el poder político pretende siempre en las sociedades con estado, aunque con éxito desigual: la legitimidad que le asiste para ejercer el poder y la correlativa obligación de obedecer que comporta para todos los que viven bajo su jurisdicción...

The opposition between imperialism and the struggle for national freedom is asymmetrical. The "dissymmetry of the colonizer-colonized pair" is general across both nationalisms, in their strategy, goals, means, ideology, and demographic, economic, and cultural conditions. The "inequality of resolve between the adversaries," "the dissymmetry of will, of interest, of animosity in the bellicose dialogue of conservatives and rebels" is, at times, "more pronounced than the inequality of material forces." The motivation of the side fighting for national freedom is greater than that of the side trying to end the adversary's resistance or existence. "The nationalists who demand the independence of their nation (which may or may not have existed in the past, and which may or may not live in the hearts of the masses) are more passionate than the rulers of the colonial state. At least in our century, they believe in the sanctity of their cause more than their adversaries believe in the legitimacy of their domination."...

Cultural formation, instead of constituting a spiritual atmosphere, is for the middle class, plainly and exclusively, merely a means of advancement. The fear of anything unaccustomed or out of the ordinary is, at the same time, enormous, and constitutes a much more effective guarantor of the current state of affairs than all the police...

In contemporary political and philosophical discourse, the concept of the “person” is often invoked as the foundational unit of ethics, law, and social organization. Liberal thought presents the individual as the core of moral and legal consideration, asserting that every person possesses inherent dignity and rights. While this appears noble, a closer analysis reveals profound tensions between the abstract notion of the “person” and the concrete reality of peoples. This essay will argue that the prioritization of the abstract person over the political reality of a people serves as a powerful tool of imperialist strategy, subtly disarming demands for self-determination by framing all political questions as matters of individual rights and legal frameworks...

La Confederacion Mundial del Trabajo (CMT), Confederacion Internacional de Organizaciones Sindicales Libres (CIOSL) y la Confederacion Europea de Sindicatos (CES) han requerido notarialmente al Sindicato ELA-STV, Congreso de Lejona (Solidaridad de Trabajadores Vascos) para que deje de utilizar las siglas de estos organismos internacionales en sus publicaciones. El STV es considerado como sindicato "amarillo"...

The origin of the word “castle” (gaztelu in Basque) is typically attributed to the Latin castellum. However, after visiting and documenting over 200 castles in the Basque Country, and reflecting on both their purpose and the structure of the Basque language, I propose an alternative: that gaztelu is a native Basque term, deeply rooted in the language’s unique structure and worldview. This presentation combines personal experience, linguistic analysis, and cultural context to invite a new discussion on this word’s true origin...

La política es la determinación del comportamiento social por medio de la violencia. La ideología es la determinación del comportamiento social por medio de las ideas. Toda empresa de dominación social establece su supremacía por el control de los recursos económicos y de violencia sobre los hombres, y desarrolla una ideología que la sirve. El grupo social dominante hace las normas, sus servicios de propaganda legitiman sin limitaciones las que le convienen para aumentar, consolidar y justificar su poder, debilitando toda resistencia actual o virtual. Remedia con ello las inevitables limitaciones efectivas de su propia violencia...
