Independence Anarchism

Independence Anarchism is a movement and ideology that advocates for the autonomy, self-determination or independence of a seceding geographical territory from forms of hierarchy (notably the state) in defense of the area's culture, language and history.

Independence-anarchist movements are mostly prevalent in Western Europe but also exist in Asia and the Americas; a few examples of which are in Catalonia, Brittany, Occitania, the Basque Country, Hong Kong and Puerto Rico.

Independence anarchism is most similar to anarchist movements involved in national liberation struggles such as Post-Colonial Anarchism,  Indigenous Anarchism and  Black Anarchism.

In the Catalan Countries (territories where the Catalan language is spoken), there are three main groups advocating for anarchism and by extension independence anarchism as well; the  National Confederation of Labour (CNT), the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and the  Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI). The CNT was founded in 1910 in Barcelona, while the FAI was founded in 1927 in València. The two groups briefly united into the CNT-FAI during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) to prevent the nationalists from taking Catalonia. However, the CNT-FAI's social revolution would fail, and the nationalists would take over Catalonia. Franco would later have a lot of CNT-FAI members executed.

After the civil war, the two Spanish groups would separate again. Throughout more recent history, the CGT was formed in 1979 as a result of a split in the CNT concerning union elections. The CNT, the CGT and the  FAI would continue to campaign for anarchism in Catalonia, frequently holding debates and talks about the "National Question" between its members.

More recent collectives exclusive to the Catalan Countries such as Negres Tempestes would push for the same goal as well. (TBA)
