'''Independence Anarchism''' is an [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|anarchist]], [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|culturally left-wing]] and [[File:Soc.png]] [[Socialism|economically left-wing]] movement that advocates for the autonomy, self-determination or independence of a given geographical territory from forms of hierarchy in defense of the area's culture, language and history. It inhabits the [[File:Libleft.png]] [[:Category:Libertarian Left|bottom left corner]] of the political compass.

Independence anarchist movements originated from and are mostly prevalent in Western Europe, but they also exist in East Asia, the Americas and Northern Africa; a few examples of which are in Catalonia, Brittany, Occitania, the Basque Country, Hong Kong and Puerto Rico.
 
Independence anarchism is most similar to anarchist movements involved in national liberation struggles such as [[File:Postconan.png]] [[Post-Colonial Anarchism]], [[File:Indigenous Anarchism.png]] [[Indigenous Anarchism]] and [[File:Blackan.png]] [[Black Anarchism]]. Ideologically, independence anarchism is compatible with both [[File:Socan2.png]] [[Social Anarchism|social]] and [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|individualist]] forms of [[File:Awaj.png]] anarchism.

The history of independence anarchism in the Catalan Countries (territories where the Catalan language is spoken) can be traced back to the 19th century. As the Catalan [[File:Awaj.png]] anarchist-oriented worker movement and the revindicative national liberation movement became ever so tied together, mostly due to their mutual belief in [[File:Fed.png]] [[federalism]], ideals close to those of modern independence anarchism began to arise. By 1881, Josep Llunas i Pujals (1852 – 19051852–1905), the primary theorist of what would later become [[File:AnSynd.png]] [[Anarcho-Syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalism]], founded the popular [[File:Acol.png]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism|libertarian collectivist]] weekly newspaper ''La Tramontana'' (The Tramontane), akin to [[File:Cball-Catalonia.png]] Catalanism and [[File:Fed.png]] federalism. Although the newspaper was closed by the authorities fifteen years afterwards, it would set the stage for other [[File:Awaj.png]] anarchist newspapers in Catalan to appear, such as ''L'Avenir'' (The Future, 1905-1910) and ''El Progrés'' (The Progress, 1905-1905). ''La Tramontana'' even came back in 1907 and 1913.
 
With the creation of the [[File:CNT.png]] National Confederation of Labour (CNT) syndicate in 1910 in Barcelona, factions within [[File:AnSynd.png]] anarcho-syndicalism that can be considered the precursors to Catalan independence anarchism began to materialize. Many prominent Spanish [[File:AnSynd.png]] anarcho-syndicalists such as Joan Peiró (1887 – 19421887–1942) and Federica Montseny (1905 – 19941905–1994) made statements in support of Catalan autonomy (despite the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia being a subject that initially caused an internal division in the [[File:CNT.png]] CNT). Meanwhile, the [[File:FAI.png]] Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI) was founded in 1927 in València.
 
The [[File:CNT.png]] CNT and the [[File:FAI.png]] FAI briefly formed the CNT-FAI during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) to prevent the [[File:Franco.png]] [[Francoism|nationalists]] from taking Catalonia. The CNT-FAI union still had its internal ruptures, which resulted in two main factions: the more moderate, minoritarian and reformist [[Treintism|Treintists]] that were mostly made up of some [[File:CNT.png]] CNT members, and the more majoritarian, [[File:Insarch.png]] [[Insurrectionary Anarchism|insurrectionary]] Faists led by the [[File:FAI.png]] FAI. Both sectors, despite the difference of their tactics, sometimes shared a [[File:Cball-Catalonia.png]] Catalanist sentiment although revindicative/nationalist rhetoric was nowhere to be seen. Before the CNT-FAI's social revolution fell apart, a proposal was made by the Valencian branch of the [[File:CNT.png]] CNT to make a Statute of Autonomy for the Valencian Country, but the project never saw the light of day. The [[File:Franco.png]] nationalists would take over all of Spain in 1939 and Franco would later have a lot of CNT-FAI members executed, effectively making independence anarchism in the Catalan Countries dormant for the duration of the Francoist dictatorship.
