    Nah, it was just a friendly lil coup, y’ know?

    I’m sick of hearing people (not only fascists) praising him because “at least he wasn’t a communist” or “but he built a ton of infrastructure”.

    Fuck Franco, ¡viva la república!

    “No, he was not fascist, he was…” [read notes] “… Falangist!” (Spanish fascists that copy pasted Mussolini)

    Also funny, because that dude basically even put again the Spanish Inquisition on board, even if by other name, and gave priests an incredible amount lf power. So much, that they (reminder that the Catholic Church cooperated with fascism everywhere of Western Europe, from Portugal to Germany) even had the authority to direct the military police towards “unfaithful people” during WWII. I have family that died in Concentration Camps because they were seemed as “suspects” of being atheist, comunist, syndicalist, Jewish, etc.

    And this fuckers, the Francoists, even have the balls to say that Franco was “neutral” during WWII, where he sent hundreds of “Blue Helmets” in the Site of Stalingrad.
