Classic Neolib take
''Well, if you get into the moral issue of it, we were certainly tested with regard to the Spanish Civil War I mentioned. I would say that the individuals that went over there were, in the opinions of most Americans, fighting on the wrong side.''
-:freedom-and-democracy:
the fukin Libs of 1936 sympathised with the Republicans, if you're to the right of 193-fuckin-6 liberals (all of whom endorsed genocidal imperialism in africa) you are a GHOUL
Today's liberals are decisively right wing, a hundred years ago they at least viewed themselves as revolutionary
200 years ago these fucks were revolutionary.
and i even quite like their avatouir--Robespierre
Also those sneaky russkies helped out those Republicans! LITERALLY DRUMPFS RUSSIAGATE BUT ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO
the communists and anarchists bent over backward, no, 360° on behalf of the Liberal republicans (so as to not upset Britain and France)
wildly wildly outsized influence in the wartime government despite the fact the actual votes overwhelming favored other parties, maintaining executive power with the liberals and shit
the individuals that went over there were, in the opinions of most Americans, fighting on the wrong side
this is correct because am*ricans know fuck all
Most Americans were weirdly sympathetic to any new Republic because America was one of the only republics for a long time. Now it is not so much
Included communists for averageperson. I remember reading a very weird article from ww1 America celebrating a communist revolt in imperial Germany
it's liberals I'm just going to assume they think the Spanish republicans were led by Donald Trump
Imagine if he had stopped short of the Pyrenees. Libs would try to paint Franco as a stalwart defender of freedom and liberty (like I've seen some of them do for Alexander Kolchak, Syngman Rhee and Chiang Kai-Shek).
I know I probably shouldn't be, but I'm actually surprised by the results of the poll.
Edit: Holy shit those comments. Every time I go on Twitter I'm reminded why deleting my account there was a great decision.
It used to be in the 30s for nationalists "only" for the first day or two. Then, somhow, it got linked from somewhere else since lots of "TradCaths" and unironic monarchists started flocking there, literally repeating fascist propaganda ad nauseum about "duh republicommies were raping nuns!" in the QTs. That, and this self-described neolib (who's apparently a Floridian gusano who buys into the propaganda) finally nudged me into posting this.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
