As a lawful anarchist, I have great sympathy for the concept of self-rule, home rule, and maximum local independence. I wish to see the people of Catalonia be totally independent, but Prime Ministoer Rajoy, a federalist, says no way.
For those within a nation state, breaking away, without mutual agreement on the subject will cause a conflagration to erupt. There must be a principled agreement reached among the people of a nation that local autonomy is maximized, without willingness to sacrifice a rule by central authority under a federal system. The latter must be a patriotic duty.
Civil war over this ,when an imbalance emerges, is very bloody and very costly. It must absolutely be a last resort.
