Sounds like the Communists who took over the Spanish Republican faction are feeling their oats again. Of course, there are differences today - no Russian backing (yet) for the Commies. And it’s unclear what today’s castrated Spanish Commies would do with weapons.

No, no backing from the Russians yet as far as I know, but they do have the much coveted blessing of Nicolas Maduro, which is hilarious if nothing else... Puigdemont was caught trying to beef up the armament of the Mossos d'Esquadra last month in anticipation of the arrival of more Guardia Civil and Policia Nacional from the rest of Spain. What would happen if today's Spanish commies were armed? I suspect they might possibly shoot themselves. Compulsory military service ended years ago and very few of the youth know how to manage a firearm.
