The Truth About Catalonia's Fight For Freedom—The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Truthdig report on the violent Spanish police crackdown against the Catalonia independence referendum. Graham discusses the heavy-handed use of force, state suppression of voting rights, and the European Union's delayed response to the crisis. He draws parallels between global state authoritarianism, corporate globalization tactics, and domestic suppression of protests like Standing Rock.
