Wouldn't the CIO and its associated unions have been the comparable phenomenon 
in the 30s?

It's a bit "some guy pontificates about something he knows nothing about". The 
sectarian know-it-all reflex at work.
This bit is a scream: "Why should the poor and working people of Spain allow 
Catalonia to just walk out the door and abandon them?"
It ain't the poor and working people of Spain who are beating the shit out of 
the Catalans.

You are alive!!! (And as pedantic as ever) How are things with you politically?
Comradely
Gary---
Let's just say:
When we ran Lyle Shelton out of Toowoomba, we thought we were doing a good 
thing.
We didn't expect him to become the same kind of dickhead on a national scale.
...
That and a Real Job(tm), too much beer and working on a Saturday. So basically, 
politically inactive. :(

January 26 marks the arrival of the First Fleet, not Cook, of course.
When fighting over history we need to be careful to get the history right.
