The State Violence Against Citizens in Catalonia Demonstrates the Current Western Worldview – or Platonism – In Action

Here is a very good reportage by Jonathan Rugman.



The Catalan independence referendum 2017 demonstrates many things, for example, the ongoing break up of the ideal of the Divine rights of Rulers or Kings to that this Divine right can only be defended by violence.

Or like this.

When Franco died in 1975 was Spain liberated from an almost Open Theocracy.

And now the Catalans in Spain appears to liberate themselves from the almost hidden Theocracy demanded by the national state of Spain.

And then will hopefully the Catalans and others realise the necessity to completely liberate themselves from the terror of Hidden Religious dogmas or Platonism altogether.

And Do not miss this!
