Who actually was /truefascist/?
Ryder Nelson
Mussolini literally invented it, Hitler as well. theres a set of criteria you need to fufill, one of which is wanting to go back to the good old days but the other is wanting radical change which franco didn't
Owen Williams
>hitler as well
Camden Rodriguez
Mussolini was pretty racist as well
Parker Cooper
Spaniard here. This fucking retard took power, probably letting true fascist/falangist Primo de Rivera die in hands of the commies, and then betrayed the principles of Falangism. He did some things right, but he is not a true fascist at all, not even a fascist.
Adrian Hughes
nah he just hated different cultures
Luke Morales
When dealing with such a race as Slavic – inferior and barbarian – we must not pursue the carrot, but the stick policy ... We should not be afraid of new victims ... The Italian border should run across the Brenner Pass, Monte Nevoso and the Dinaric Alps ... I would say we can easily sacrifice 500,000 barbaric Slavs for 50,000 Italians ...
—Benito Mussolini, speech held in Pula, 20 September 1920
Leo Hughes
I dunno, it sounds just as much like he hated their barbarian national culture and much preferred his own Italian culture.
Joshua Nelson
This.
Franco's 1960s free market reforms, at the tail end of his rule, are the only reason he is remembered somewhat positively, and they go against everything fascism teaches.
Actual fascist economics: Autarky, ultra-protectionism, the State leading industrialization efforts partnered with private industry, absolutely failed in Spain as they did elsewhere. Franco was just sensible enough to acknowledge this and change course.
Jacob Cook
Franco was the worst possible person to lead Spain, from right or left except maybe the communist party. He was a great field commander, he was cunning and cold-blooded and knew how to play people off against each other in order to get and then keep power. But he understood nothing of economics and fucked Spain over for a decade after ww2 by sticking with the Axis for too long, his people lived in grinding poverty well into the 50s, and in his mind what was good for Spain and what was good for Franco were one and the same.
