In the mid 80's the party had a debate over its ideology and space in the Basque Ezker abertzalea movement, defending a direct democracy model based in municipalities and neighborhood associations,[1] prioritizing social movements to institutions. ASK created commissions dedicated to determined social movements, including Basque language, amnesty for the Basque prisoners, feminism, ecology, anti-militarism, popular culture or the fight against drugs, among others.[2]
ASK disappeared in 1994, fully integrating themselves in Herri Batasuna.
