Hence the whole community recognized as such, as a group , as a people , as a nation , and of course , as a class , have the inalienable right to decide their future. As expected this September 11th the people of Catalonia will again take the streets to demand something that is obvious and logical : the right to be free to decide as a people on all aspects of our future .

Attitudes Harden in Spain as Catalonian Referendum Looms (someday,maybe..)
“I hate Catalonia and I can’t stand the Catalans.” These blunt words rolled off the sharp tongue of an habitually sweet-tempered 15-year old Spanish girl called Aina. Aina is from Spain’s north-eastern province of Aragon and she is among a score of Spanish teenagers attending a two-week summer language course I’m helping to organize in the UK.

UPDATE: In a blatant attack on dissent the neo-fascist Madrid government still keeps 5 young people, including a mother of 2 small kids, without bail in anti terrorist punishment cells. Their only crime.. sharing anti state images with friends in accounts already deleted by Facebook.!!
UPDATE de los 5 de Barcelona
Pedimos por favor que NO MANDÉIS CARTAS a los compañeros, es peligroso para ellos y para vosotros mientras estén en FIES3. Aprovecho para puntualizar que estamos llevando a cabo un duro trabajo, pero que lo que podemos publicar es mínimo, nuestro trabajo es desde apoyo a los presos, la familia y contactar con decenas de organizaciones. Pedimos por favor que nadie actué por su parte, haciéndolo con la mejor de las intenciones puede convertir su acción en un problema grave para nuestros compañeros. Los que pedís como ayudar, podéis preparar acciones de recogida de dinero (bolos, cafetas etc...) ya que en breve tendremos lista la cuenta para el apoyo económico, también organizar concentraciones solidarias todo y que nosotros no organizaremos nada mientras eso no pueda ayudar a nuestros compañeros. Salud y gracias por la compresión....See MoreYou, Ricardo Mauriz, Ste Blacknoise, Abel Garcia and 91 others like this.View 12 more comments

At least 1,200 Catalans manage themselves with their own ”money”, education and health , they do not use the euro but ecos, a “free money” that can be exchanged for hours of work or products..
They have organized a network of health care, education and access to housing, based on trust among members.
They are expanding to the rest of the peninsula. in France and Italy similar experiences have been initiated.
They have a currency of its own, a self-managed health care system, an educational network and housing office. They are self-managed cooperatives and self-organization, groups of people living outside the system, and make decisions in open assemblies based on trust organization. In Catalonia, there are already 1,200 citizens who have chosen this way of life and the implementation of these communities is spreading. The crisis and the 15M indignados movement has given it wings. Continue reading “Integral Revolution Coop takes off in Barcelona”
