Gov't
- By Alicia Fraerman, InterPress Service, 22 December

- Let's Talk about Spanish
Imperialism
- By Francisco Brotons Beneyto, Northstar
Compass, November 2000. The imperialist character of
the Spanish State does not come from owning colonies in
North Africa, but its character as a monopolist country
ruled by a financial oligarchy and exploits economically
other peoples and other nations and from the fact that it
takes its part in the plundering and domination of other
countries through participation in NATO.
