@Antiworld23 You idiot, how dare you insult these people at their very memorial?! Also, your defense of fascism is entirely un-American. Why don't you go live some place where they love fascists? You don't belong here in the U.S.A. We lost a lot of American blood fighting against fascism, and that's what is important here.

@bmalgs You are a fool, and your comment is inappropriate here. Yes, the Communist Party organized alot of the Americans who fought Franco, but good people from all over Europe and the U.S. went to fight Franco and the fascists for various reasons. Was Hemingway a communist? Auden? Also, in the America of the 1930s many educated, decent people WERE communists - it wasn't so stigmatized then. Finally, you are disgustingly inhuman to insult those who fought for freedom, here at their memorial.

They were communists. Marxist doctrine and communism has caused more human suffering and death than any disease and certainly far more than Fascism has, not that Fascism is a good thing. Both ideologies appeal to elitist stooges that are unable to thrive in competitive atmospheres for one reason or another. They vilify success and demonize personal liberty. Abraham Lincoln would be ashamed to have his name associated with this kind of scum!

Peace out my brothers!!  Go Obama!!! Go Green!!!!!

@Antiworld23 You got allot of nerve talking about how many people you think Stalin and socialism killed, while praising Franco and bragging about how ignorant you are by saying amazingly ridiculous things like "Marxist American Officals"....

Your just another delusional teabagger who is out of touch with reality and gets they're news from FOX, showing zero ability to think for yourself.

Being ignorant is nothing to brag about.

@PersonForPeaceLondon Stalin and Mao were worse than Hitler or Mussolini, especially body count wise. The Lincoln brigade fought to turn Spain into a Soviet puppet state nothing more. For that reason the only honor they get are from marxist American officals which outside of cesspools like San Francisco are few and far between. Thank God they failed. Spain owes more of it's prosperity today to Franco than these communists.

[Antiworld23]

Disquisting that San Francisco supports a monument for Stalin's stooges but doesn't support real American troops. I'm not suprised though.

@Kunsoo1024  A half truth is a lie. Franco was neutral during WWII because Spain was depleted by the civil war. Because of the International Brigades Spain had no choice but be neutral. If not for the Spanish Civil War Franco would have joined the war and we all would be speaking German today. Maybe you can go back and finish the 8th grade.
