For many years, the extreme left has supported all kinds of dictatorships, including some of the most brutal in the world.<\/p>\n
A few months ago I pointed out here that in the Spanish Parliament there are six parties that support dictatorships<\/a> and all six are left-wing. Coincidentally, four of those parties (EH Bildu, ERC, BNG and Podemos) demonstrated yesterday in Bilbao against \"authoritarianism\", according to Europa Press, in a march called by the first of them. They also had the support of the communists of the CUP (who support the Cuban dictatorship)<\/a> and Communistes de Catalunya, who support the dictatorships of Cuba<\/a> and Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n To that we must add one fact: EH Bildu is a party that has never condemned ETA terrorism<\/strong>, a criminal gang that murdered 853 people, including 22 children. For decades, ETA tried to turn the Basque provinces and Navarre into a dictatorship<\/strong>, in which anyone who disagreed with its separatist and far-left ideology became a target to be murdered with a bullet to the head or a bomb, extorted, or kidnapped. With that campaign of crimes, ETA terrorism managed to expel 180,000 Basques from their land<\/a>, ensuring a clear political advantage for EH Bildu in all the electoral processes called since then.<\/p>\n It's a mockery of democracy for people like this to demonstrate against \"authoritarianism.\"<\/strong> It's the same mockery as if the Ku Klux Klan were to call for a march against racism. In reality, the extreme left doesn't reject authoritarianism: it only rejects a dictatorship if it's neither socialist nor communist.<\/strong> If the dictatorship is of a similar ideological persuasion, then that anti-democratic regime and its human rights violations seem irreproachable to them. Let's remember, in fact, that four years ago<\/a> those same parties refused to condemn the crimes of communism in a vote in the Congress of Deputies.<\/strong> That is the far-left's idea of \u200b\u200bdemocracy.<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n PHoto: EH Bildu.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For many years, the extreme left has supported all kinds of dictatorships, including some of the most brutal in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10398],"tags":[10776,1970,428,8881,22428,3484,382,10497,7841,1895],"class_list":["post-62035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-basque-autonomous_community","tag-bilbao","tag-bng","tag-cup","tag-comunistes-de-catalunya","tag-eh-bildu","tag-erc","tag-far-left","tag-podemos","tag-vizcaya"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-11 20:39:55","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62035\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
