Catalans declare independence as Madrid imposes direct rule

The Catalan regional parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain, while the Spanish parliament has approved direct rule over the region.
Catalan MPs backed the motion 70-10 in a ballot boycotted by the opposition.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had told senators direct rule was needed to return "law, democracy and stability" to Catalonia.

The crisis began when Catalans backed independence in a disputed vote earlier this month.

The Catalan government said that of the 43% of potential voters who took part in the referendum, 90% were in favour of independence. But Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled the vote illegal.

There are certainly some parallels. Catalonia is the richest part of Spain and far more liberal than the south.

Catalonia is a part of Spain, it has always been a part of Spain, and it will always be a part of Spain. The results of a shitty plebiscite that had low turnout because the opposition boycotted as it was illegal and contrary to the constitution aren't valid.

Fuck nationalism. We all need to unite into superstates. Kill the idea of the nation.

Nationalism is a poisonous divisive idea. Humanity needs to be united as much as possible, not arbitrarily divided and separated. It is the new monarchism, and extreme rightist idea contrary to freedom.

Um, the superstate is a nation. Heading toward feudalism is what constitutes a move away from nationalism.

Grind - the person who believes in the stunning idea that you have the right to do whatever the fuck you want with your own property, except transport it and yourself across arbitrary and meaningless lines in the sand.

That's what Grind really wants. New feudalism. Divide humanity as many ways as possible between arbitrary robber barons and imagined nationalities.

The only nationalism that should be allowable in Europe is European nationalism. Phony sub-nationalisms like Catalonianism are meaningless.

No, we need to go back to era of city states. That was the peak of society.
