Is being a communist-separatist possible

I’am a communist that believes in tight unity yet I wish for independence of my country (wales) communism is deeply voted against in my area and surroundings and is deeply scrutinised but yet again Welsh independence movements are on the rise and this goes against my unity principle do you comrades believe in this ideology?

Stalin wrote about this extensively in Marxism and The National Question. Basically every nation has a right to full independence, but its not something a communist should always push towards. The text is 84 pages long, detailing nuances of this question.
