I agree very much with this take on the issue of Catalan independence:
"Self-determination is not achieved through government; it is the opposite of government. If the objective is to promote autonomy and create a more egalitarian society, this will not be achieved by passing and enforcing laws, however liberal, but by dispersing power throughout participatory social movements capable of opening spaces of freedom and solving their own problems directly."

The own process of popular direct action and disobedience to achieve independence may very well be the path to such real autonomy. However, I see too many people still clinging to the state paradigm of organisation. Anyway, this is an excellent opportunity to break a lot of things, or even maybe just to create cracks in the system that we'll be able to grow in time.
