> somebody was giving pamphlets talking about route 1.
That's the worst route of all. And there's only two. It doesn't for the Catalan people but against Spain. It's just changing shackles to chains. Also as I think of it, it has the undertone of socialism, but for now it would only be good for the multis, a Europe country that is.

That's a lot of people.

Route 2 would be beneficial for the Catalan people. They get sovereignty. What's not beneficial in that? In term of other things, situation wouldn't change much, still everyone in the EU, so cooperation would still remain. They could even form a block like V4 (just better, ehehe).

> Catalonia has nothing to gain from this struggle.
They gain the much needed Catalan identity. The common struggle builds the sense of community. This is the kernel which the Catalan nation can be built around.

This is very true tho. But the thing isn't impossible, look at Yugoslavia.
Frankly it wouldn't make much difference if there weren't a Spain, but smaller countries instead. Only certain deals would have to be negotiated with different partners.
