We honor Barcelona and Catalonia for the moral clarity, civic duty, social cohesion, political moderation they demonstrated in their worst time.
#NoTincPor - I am not afraid - was their local response to global terror.Sadly, terror in Catalonia has been ridden by the global mainstream media as an occasion to advocate for further concentration of power, centralism, militarism, imperialism, neocolonialism, war on "Islamic terror" - by which in fact they mean more military action and neocolonialist intrusion in Islamic countries and beyond.
To cope with terror spread by the "radical losers", following the lesson of Hans Magnus Enzensberger, we need exactly the opposite: strong local democracies with real powers to include and protect their citizens, localized welfare, bottom-up social change, local patrolling, independent judiciary.
A radicalized generation is living with us and many of them will hardly be recovered to a sense of humanity, but a network of human-scale, fair, inclusive communities can, if not heal their deviation, at least put them under control.
A network of self-governing communities can be much more resilient in the globalized world, and not only this.
Catalonia, Scotland, Corsica, Sardinia, Tuscany - along with Vermont and many others - can be crucial actors in the effort to put an end to serial Western-led "regime changes", "exportations of democracy", barbaric proxy wars (as the one unleashed by Barbaria Saudita in Yemen), and other neo-colonialist American, British, French disastrous interventions in the world.
It is up to us, to stop centralism, militarism, imperialism, which are deeply intertwined with the spread of global terror.
Not "war on terror", but decentralism is the antidote to war and terror.
Decentralists of the world unite!
