Demokratak eta biolentoak
Demokratak eta biolentoak, horra hor modu antogonikoan aurkezturik liburuaren gaia, gu denok kezkatzen eta are nazkatzen gaituen herri honen bizi nahi eta ezin bizi tristea, heriosuharrezko borroka sarritan antzu beti mingarria, ez hemengoekin ez hangoekin gustura eta identifikaturik sentitu ezina, auzo eta lankide behar luketenak liskarturik eta muturturik ibili beharra? Bi hitzetan esateko, Euskal Herriaren egoera petrala. Modu antagonikoan ez ezik, estilo polemistan idatzi du Azurmendik saiakera hau, arazo gordinenei ihes egin ordez horiexei helduz hasieratik bertatik. Hona, esate baterako, liburuaren hasierako ?Zer zarete zuek abertzaleak ala demokratak??. Probokatu egin nahi gaitu egileak, kitzikatu, ez ordez bere burua nabarmentzeko edo inor epatatzeko, ezpada irakurleari bere kabuz pentsarazteko; izan ere, ohituegi gaude hemen nork bere elizatxoko fedea itsuki sinesten, eta badugu garaia betiko topikoak, katarro kroniko hau, gainetik kentzeko.

Nota real: 3,75.
Es un libro que me ha gustado, en tanto que aporta una visión muy interesante sobre la demonización del uso de - ciertas - violencias en las democracias actuales. Es un libro breve, pero aún así, expone muy bien diferentes enfoques sobre la verdadera naturaleza de las creídas sociedades perfectas y participativas: las democracias modernas.
No obstante, tampoco me ha fascinado; hay muchas cosas que no comparto, pero creo leer sobre ellas nos ayuda plantearnos y debatir sobre nuestras propias convicciones.
En definitiva, os digo que se trata de un libro que, pese a su brevedad, expone un tema que es interesantísimo desde un enfoque - que lo hace aún más - atrayente: el caso vasco.
