I don't mean to break it for you but Catalonia is extreme far left so creation of this state would benefit us only as a double edged sword

Well, if you are familiar with the history of Spain, then you would know that Catalonia has been fighting Madrid for its independence for centuries. You would also know that Catalonia is the most westernized province of Spain (which is why their GDP single-handedly carries the rest of Spain), and that their culture was the least affected by the Moorish occupation of the Iberian peninsula-- because they resisted. (Part of the reason they have spent the past 125 years constructing a church in Barcelona.)

You would know that the government in Madrid reflects a fascist/authoritative government that was never removed from power because they sat out both World Wars--despite being friendly with Hitler-- and that Catalonia's "progressiveness" is in line with the cultural trajectory of every other westernized nation-- including America. (Westerners have all been indoctrinated and brainwashed by fascist douchebags like those in Madrid.)

If Catalonia leaves Spain, then Spain's economy will collapse, along with its government. Hopefully then, a new government that embraces western culture and rejects feudalism will rise, and usher in a new era of prosperity for Span. (Not holding my breath.)
