…because they were seen as symbols of 'reactionary thought,' and around 70,000 were annihilated during their revolutionary terror.

The anarchists ruled in catalonia and many other places (yes, we Spaniards are the only ones to take that ridiculous meme ideology seriously)…

… and they didn't rule over the Catalan Parliament because their retard ideology forbade them from participating in electoral politics.

They executed people at will—around 8,000 just in 1936—including many in the catalan nationalist right (something that has been completely…

…erased from history by catalan nationalists because they ally with the left), burning their bodies in the infamous Asland factory, or throwing them into mass graves that are still being unearthed. As for the commies, the spanish 'democratic republic' had NKVD agents like…

Alexander Orlov making killing lists and freely running chekas on spanish soil.

Very democratic to have a foreign spy in charge of security...

The Spanish Republic was WORSE than Weimar; the left didn't think that the right had any legitimacy to exist, even when they convincingly won the elections in 1933. In 1934, they instigated the Asturias Revolution to cause chaos and anarchy; it was anarcho-tyranny all the way…

…down, and there was nobody on the political stage that seemed like it could alter this trajectory. Not that they wanted to; President Azaña (a fat malding imbecile) famously said, 'All the convents in Spain are not worth a single Republican life'.

And the political leadership on the right were also fat idiots with no ideas of their own.

Also, in contrast to the german case, the right didn't have militias or any way to protect them from left-wing violence.

Primo de Rivera, the man who many revisionists see as 'betrayed' by Franco, was able to get just one seat in parliament in 34, and his party didn't have enough muscle that could be compared to the freikorps or the SA.

He was just a bourgeois kid ripping off italian fascism who was killed because the left were insane and paranoid about a fascist takeover.

And despite all of this, Franco won an insurrectionary war against all odds and ruled for 40 years, but because Spain joined NATO and became a 'democracy' after his death, that means he 'lost' and nobody was saved from the left?

We spaniards have a good climate; we love living well and sharing our lifestyle with others. We are not some north koreans who can live like drones in a permanent autarchic state.
