Listen! Let's talk about education!

  • I'm sick. Truly ashamed of fake news politics. Enough! This does no good to anyone who is left-wing and Abertzale. You can write it with the name you want (*I mean the Abertzale Left), but, leave this war with everything you don't control! Euskal Herria, does not need a weak Abertzale left, Euskal Herria *needs a strong Abertzale left, and for that you need two things. On the one hand, to accept and internalise that we are not what we were and on the other, to reopen the political debate in a healthy way. To make war between us is to make war against the enemy. Only behind the reasons for those who do not add to the last sentence can there be two reasons; either they have stopped sharing the strategic objectives of Independence and Socialism, or they consider future allies to be enemies from a partisan position.

There is little talk of strategy in the people of the cooks. We all have the label (pseudo-Marxist, Spanish, independentist, reformist, communist, liquidationist dissident...) but we also define what others do by another label. There are few people or collectives who have entered the real political debate in recent times, and so it is difficult to build something healthy.

As if it were not enough, lately we also make improper use of concepts and therefore incorrect (propaganda, ideological bases, strategy, tactics, campaign, enemy, ally, accumulation of forces, plurality, Marxism, strategic objectives, revolutionary subject, organization, movement...) without knowing what we are talking about. In this way, reality leads us to a constant clash with the discourse we are making in our political activity. The difference between what we say and what we do is so great that we do not understand the contradictions behind these clashes. We mix all the material with the ideal.

So I'm going to jump to the open war of the past few months. I say open war, because it has been an unclear debate of political debate. This has only brought confusion and, in most cases, the smallest and least middle-class is the loser in face-to-face competitions. However, in this case, I am quite convinced that we are in a situation without winners, if we have not been defeated by the Abertzale left and by the Abertzale left. So I'd like to go into political practice and look at reality above it, so that I can identify what the real political debate is, beyond words, looking at the facts.

Taking into account the dynamics carried out by Ikasle Abertzaleak in recent years (Herri Unibertsitatea, occupation of spaces, input on Selectivity and other selective tests, strikes against the Lomce-Heziberri-EU2015, campaign against the elections of the rectorate of the UPV...), his real practice has not changed much, although he has undergone changes in his political discourse. It has carried out notably the rupture with the Spanish-French educational institutions that historically serve the capital.

Conversely, Left Abertzale agents support the rector of the UPV/EHU. They seem to be willing to reach an educational agreement to improve LOMCE in the Basque Country. The demonstration in favour of the right to strike called by Ikasle Abertzaleak was not held in Arrasate (today is the day on which they have obtained the right to strike in Arizmendi for the student struggle)... The Abertzale Left is committed to transforming education from the current institutions (the ikastolas are concerted and depend on governments in most cases, except for exceptions; the Continental Basque Country...), leaving aside the independent construction of an own educational system that has historically been promoted.

Looking at this, each one will see what has changed and at what point it has changed. We have all changed, the right question would be what we have changed in. Who has followed the path of national construction (in rupture with the two states) to build a proper educational system, or who has taken the path of its transformation from the interior of the current institutions. In this sense, there is a clash between the improvement of the UPV or the construction of a public university; or between LOMCE-Heziberri-Heziberri 2.0 and the education that arises from the People and the People. Finally, there is a clash between the student movement being an instrument to condition the institutional debate or a student movement that can condition the institutions.

Under the noise of rockets, there's a real hijacked argument. But this, for reasons, goes down again and again. This has been a simple attempt to publish, much more should be written in this sense, as is the case of the Historical Re-reading of the student movement. Everyone will be able to see who to play and who to position themselves with. But dirty play does nothing but drive people away. In conclusion, I would like to say that it would be better for us to encourage these discussions among ourselves rather than boxing. Otherwise, we will lose the chess game we have with capital and states.

PD: “A philosophy that has been maintained and ratified from the first congress to the fifth congress.”

We went and will be (from the review article published in Naiz on 08/11/2018)

The lack of location of the presentation of the 6th Congress (via the website of Ikasle Abertzaleak) in the historical line of Ikasle Abertzaleak directly affects the educational line of the presentation of the first congress of Ernai Gazte Antolundea, which assumed it. On the other hand, this congress affects a large number of militants who have signed this text, some of whom participated in the drafting process of this text and ratified it.

*Left Abertzale (Sortu, Lab, Ernai)

*left abertzale (left space and sociologically abertzale)

The pedagogy of
