I am distressed by the Socialist press (World Socialist Website) publishing site) writing articles that appear to support the Spanish police in making raids on the homes of members of the Catalan Independence Movement, saying they are "terrorists" and confiscating such things as pots and pans, a bit of fertilizer for their plants, etc. There are some items that can be used to make fireworks, but Catalonia loves festivals and celebrations and does use fireworks in these events.
I personally do not think that the Catalan Independence Movement is in any way violent. Please read my letter to the World Wide Socialist Publishing site. Waiting to see if they accept it,
I would like to say that while I am not a "card-carrying: socialist per se, i have lived as one, making room for the poor in my Vermont home and community. I have friends who are dedicated Socialists. Tha Catalan Independence Movement is not a violent revolutionary or terrorist group. Catalonia has seen beloved leaders who have small children go to prison and they have not taken aggressive terrorist action against Spain-- which, I feel, is being haunted by the ghost of Franco. The country is dropping its pretense of being a democracy (while still protecting itself under the EU blanket as one). It is returning to the Fascist way of life, and the consequences can be dire, not only for Catalonia (which I feel wants and deserves her freedom from Spain-- at least Catalonia should have a chanee to voite without being beaten over the head with heavy bats as they were on October 1, 2017, by the Spanish Police. Please, Socialists-- Spain does not deserve your support! Stand with a free Catalonia!
