    Yeah sorry your analogy doesnt make any sense to me.

    Also

    taking civilian government positions by force rather than election

    This has nothing to do with anarchism

      But it has everything to do with Catalonia! Because that is what they did. It was quite successful for a few years. It is unfortunate that it didn’t last longer.

      The analogy isn’t that important if you don’t get it, basically I’m arguing that Catalonia was cool but it wasn’t flawless and if you try to perfectly replicate an autonomous state that was crushed within 3 years then you will also be crushed in 3 years or so.

          With the knowledge they had at the time I don’t know if I would call them idiots, I’m not enough of a historian to know. In modern times though I think it is clear that you should vote too. Abstaining from voting gets you nothing.
