Of all the Fascist dictators, Franco was a very nice man.
I think equivalently v. nice man on the left side would have to be Hoxha, he left the people nice bunkers to play in

Kārlis Ulmanis

...

Franco was an accidental tyrant, unlike many who seek out high office Franco had it thrust upon him by the deaths of those who stood before him in the line of succession. It seems to be axiomatic that anyone who seeks absolute power is a raging cunt, and that benevolent dictators are invariably those who more or less stumbled into power.

Single handedly saved my country.

Same.

Kind of reminds me of Perón in some regards.

Vargas, Péron and Pinochet are probably the best leaders to ever come from this God forsaken continent.

>tfw no paternal benevolent dictator

this

Not saying that Perón did what you attribute to Vargas (saving his country) by the way, just that he seems to have some points in common with Vargas.

the libyan dictator guy who gave his people free college and stuff before hillary had him killed

if you rate Peron you rate Fidel and Chavez

A really fascinating man. Would it even be possible to gain as much power in an American State today? I can't see the National government letting it happen, even if it was used benevolently like he did.

Are you retarded?

>Of all the Fascist dictators, Franco was a very nice man.
>Of all
There is single one and obviously only Roman can have fasci to begin with.

And by the way, in your opinion, how was Franco more nice than Mussolini? He didn't do a thing to save Jews from National Socialists like Duce and Fascists.

>tfw you put in place a right wing dictator who destroys the economy to prevent a left wing dictator from destroying the economy

it was because he pegged the peso to the dollar against the advice of the chicago boys

...

if only he had not done that one thing, everything would have been fine of course

Antonio Salazar

...

>find yourself in a hole
>keep digging
I mean not even Pinochet was that dumb

...

is that elon musk?

>fascist
>left-wing

This is a joke right?

America's greatest ally.

How the fuck did the King that he supposedly help rear end up becoming a socialist?

Can't believe nobody's posted Salazar yet.

One of history's very few Communist autocrats with some semblance of human decency AND competence.

Literally posted twice before you did.

He wasn't benevolent at all, he killed shitload of his countrymen.

Plus his legacy might be in ashes in a few years if Catalonia and the Basques go independent.

I agree with these , especially Metaxas, who despite being hated by leftists in Greece today, showed great strength of character by opposing Italy. He saved Greece's dignity.

Salazar would have ranked above all others, if it was not for the colonial debacle, which like De Gaulle he greatly mishandled. Other than that he managed to keep his country safe during WWII, and did not use much violence against opposition.

Also, Horthy. Benevolent? Check. Dictator? Double check.

>Plus his legacy might be in ashes in a few years if Catalonia and the Basques go independent.

Fortunately this couldn't happen, thanks to the anarchists.

>impfuckingplying

Franco was not the only fucking choice to lead the Nationalists, Davila, Mola and Quiepo de Llano were all in the running. Franco purposefully did nothing to save Primo de Rivera and when the Republicans did kill Rivera, Franco did the truth from everyone till after the war. He also arrested Hedilla, Rivera's successor, and forced Fal Conde into exile to neuter the Carlist leadership.

Franco very much intentionally walked into the dictatorship after Sanjurjo died.

it makes me sad knowing the communist took down all his statues, and Im not even spanish

Obligatory, did he even do anything questionable against lybians who didnt deserve it?

That's how i feel about Bashar Al Assad for example, he was gonna be an eye doctor but his father and his brother (successor) died on a traffic accident

>Founder of National Justicialism
>Buttbuddies with Franco
>"We're neither marxists nor capitalists!"
>His right hand was the leader of the Triple A, Argentine Anticommunist Alliance
The more you know
He wasn't a dictator though, just an elected populist

Sankara

pick one, or don't

Could someone explain to me why are non-portuguese pretending to know jack shit about salazar regime?

>Being Portuguese makes you an authority on Salazar's rule
Not an argument

>Dictator
>Benevolent
Pick one

>Comparing Perón and Vargas to Cuckochet

Only reasonable argentine dictator. Fucked up with Perón but made up for it.

Arguably this lad too

...

>de Gaulle
>mishandled colonies
what?

>not Fujimori

Give some respect to the only man in the world who decisively defeated a mass rebellion of Maoist guerrillas

His legacy is those regions not being able to legally secede or in fact even do a poll to see if people wants to secede.

Also sterilizing Amerindian trash

>Ungrateful roaches are currently squandering his legacy
f

Too good for this world.

...

As much as any post in this thread.

lol

He was only a dictator for like 3 months. So technically yes. [spoiler]Benevolent will depend who you ask[/spoiler]

Old Trudeau was alright. Not great, but alright. More benevolent than most of the guys in this thread.
