You're both disgusting apologists for a regime that killed thousands of people. Free Spain from Anarchists? Don't make me laugh.

[TheHarlequin13]

Anarchists, acting indepedently and against the wishes of the CNT or the FAI, murdered about 2,000 people, most of whom were supporters of the fascist coup or played a significant role in the oppressive system that existed in Spain prior to the 2nd Republic. That pales in comparison to the Stalinist Red terror, which claimed 40,000 lives, and is dwarfed by Franco's white terror, which killed 200,000.

Thanks to the spanish army and thanks to the civil war, we are living on developing country.

@Rao665 How am I an apologist for Stalin? Because I didn't mention crimes that were taking place in the USSR during a discussion on the Spanish Civil War? Don't be ridiculous.

I've already covered your second "point". I doubt you've really read my post, seeing as how you've jumped on a single post in the attempt to label me an apologist for Stalin, nor do I think you'd read it if I reiterated it, so I'll leave it there.

@TheHarlequin13

Yeah, and I'm talking about Stalin and Communism.

STALIN not Stalinist. And by the way your a disgusting apologist for a regime that killed 20,000,000 of their own people. StalinIST get the fuck out of here. Now your joking!

And I still find it funny how a foreigner to Spain will attempt to explain their OWN HISTORY to them. Typical British shit, you guy's thought you were the answers to the world's problem.

[TheHarlequin13]

@Rao665 StalinIST. During the Spanish Civil War. The conflict this video and discussion is about. Unless you think Stalin killed 20,000,000 Spaniards during the Spanish Civil War, which would be quite a feat, given that the population of Spain at the beginning of the war was around 25 million.

@TheHarlequin13 Stalin? 40,000? Get the fuck out of here. 20,000,000

[Rao665]

@TheHarlequin13

Stalin 40,000? try 20,000,000

@TheReolus In what sense do you mean that Spain wouldn't exist? Did the Nationalists prevent it from disappearing into the ether by murdering 200,000 people?

It's certainly an advantage live in a place when studying its history but it's by no means necessary. Also it isn't conversely true that living in a country automatically grants one extensive knowledge of its history. There are a frightening number of people in my country who don't know who Oliver Cromwell was.

[TheReolus]

@TheHarlequin13 If it wasn't for Franco, Spain now wouldn't exist, I should just remind you that. And if you don't live here you can't really know what happened and what is happening now with separatists, they brain wash children against Spain, etc... it's horrible.

[TheReolus]

@TheHarlequin13 Oh, and sorry for being so rude, you are welcome to give your opinion, I don't remember why I was so rude, maybe I was pissed off with something. I lived and worked for 3 months in England (Erasmus scholarship) and people were usually very friendly. But just understand people may tell you a lot of lies about Franco regime, it certainly wasn't the best thing that could happen to Spain, but much better than communism. By the way, II republic was an absolute disaster.

[TheReolus]

@TheHarlequin13 And what do you mean with nationalist, a Falange supporter? Or just a normal nationalist? I mean, to be nationalist is different from supporting Falange. You can be nationalist and liberal at the same time, Im sorry if you can't understand me properly, my english is good but not pefect, so I may struggle a bit to explain you certain things.

I support liberal parties, I support capitalism, so I'm not "nationalist" if you mean Falange nationalists, who are anti-capitalist.
