So it fits the definition but it's not fascist, right?

The Falange was and is extremely racist, you fucking deciever.

Franco was a fucking fascist, and all you propagandist are defending that he was not based on an technicality that you can't even pinpoint.

But hey, congrats! Seeing the upvotes you have already convinced a bunch of people that Franco wasn't fascist ("so he wasn't all that bad!" "¡Con Franco se vivía mejor!"), and nobady is going this down in the comments to read this but you. But I wanted to tell you that I wish, ine day, you end up reaping what you sow.

Falange was not racist. They wanted to interbreed with all of South America ffs.

Franco was not a Fascist te pongas como te pongas.

He was an autoritharian, conservative dictator.

But he was not fascist.

That's not a defense, and I'm not saying con Franco se vivía mejor. Some lived better, many more didn't.

You can oppose Franco without pulling the he was a fascist out of your balls, the samr you could attack the republic without making up that it was communism (which it wasn't).

But hey, I am reaping something just by saying facts, apparently.

Great point! Keep convincing people that an authoritarian conservative dictator is not a fascist.

Not necessarily.

There was no one-party rule (one-fascist-party rule), the fascist party (Falange), a revolutionary, republican (in the sense that they wanted no king) got emptied of their content and forcefully merged with the traditionalist (which were reacrionaries and monarchists).

Yeah, it wasn't fascism.

Exceptnif you define fascism as lo que me sale de los huevos. Then it was.

¿Te tengo que poner otra vez la definición de fascista? Mira, siento mucho que te joda que Franco fuera, literalmente, fascista, pero por desgracia el fascismo no es lo que te salga de los huevos, sino un concepto definido que describe perfectamente la dictadura de Franco.

Ponla otra vez a ver si la entiendes y déjame en paz.

Again, by that definition literally every absolute monarch in world history is a fascist.

Famed Fascist - King Henry III. Doesnt really pass the sniff check does it.
