I'm just curious if there are any Basques that post on this forum, or anyone who has connections to Basque solidairity groups. I've been trying to get in touch with some, but most groups on the internet seem to be getting shut down or are fairly outdated and inactive. So what's up?

I have close links to the basque community.Iam Scottish but have visisted the Basque country 3 times,theres a scottish basque solidarity movement.I have many basque socialist comrades but unfortunately they are split between ETA(m) and ETA(p-m).Anything you are interested in knowing it be a pleasure to help you if i can comrade!

A very good book to get would be Dirty war clean hands by Paddy Woodworth,Its about ETA,the GAL and basically Spanish "Democracy"

Actually, I'm looking to get in touch with some solidarity organizations and figure out what I can do from the middle of the US...

Do the Basques have the same goals as the Catalans, or are they two completely different forms of seperatism?

How do you mean? Both want independent states. I'm more familiar with the Catalan struggle, and there is everything from rightists wanting statehood to leftists, though leftists seem to be the majority to me. I would imagine the situation is similar in the Basque country, though probably more Basques are independent minded.
