Yeah, and then Franco came in with more guns and Catalonia lived under fascism for the next 50 years. You can (and should) resist with violence if needed, but there's a limit to what a small group can do in the face of an organised military that doesn't care about who they kill.

And where is that fascist government now?

Replaced by a central, non-anarchist government, with a royalty, which is still opposing Catalan independence. And even though the party in charge is called socialist, they're not challenging capitalism because they know how that ends.

So Anarchism and fascism both lost. I'm sure liberalism will lose too sooner or later..

One can only hope it gets replaced by something better.
