Eusko Alderdi Sozialista (English: Basque Socialist Party; EAS) was an underground revolutionary socialist Basque political party.
ETA(m) considered that armed struggle and mass struggle should be independent and clearly separated, unlike their rivals of ETA (pm) that considered that political and armed struggle were the same. In line with this idea, ETA (m) created a political party composed only of civilians that should participate and/or lead the mass struggle in Euskal Herria. The party participated in the social unrest that existed in the Basque Country during the last years of Francoism.
The party disappeared in 1975 when it merged with their Basque-French counterparts of Herriko Alderdi Sozialista, to form Euskal Herriko Alderdi Sozialista, the first Basque party at both sides of the border.

The Basque conflict, also known as the Spain–ETA conflict, was an armed and political conflict from 1959 to 2011 between Spain and the Basque National Liberation Movement, a group of social and political Basque organizations which sought independence from Spain and France. The movement was built around the separatist organization ETA, which had launched a campaign of attacks against Spanish administrations since 1959. ETA had been proscribed as a terrorist organization by the Spanish, British, French and American authorities at different moments. The conflict took place mostly on Spanish soil, although to a smaller degree it was also present in France, which was primarily used as a safe haven by ETA members. It was the longest running violent conflict in modern Western Europe. It has been sometimes referred to as "Europe's longest war".
