Leftists and protestants like to ignore the important strides that Francisco Franco made. Since Leftists and protestants make up the majority of the US, it's not hard to see why people don't discuss it. Franco had volunteers from Ireland, Germany, Italy, and France while the volunteers aiding the communists were largely Americans, Brits, and Mexicans. I personally don't know much about the war myself.

Speaking of obscure wars
I wonder how it would have turned out if the Krauts never intervened. What if the random white guy took the throne. Imagine if that happened and the resulting country survived today. They'd be the biggest fucking shitposters on the internet.
Isaac Robinson
That's a bit of stretch, at least for now.
Brandon Baker
This book is recommended reading.
Gabriel Baker
Probably the best, most digestible video on the Spanish Civil War
He mentions that a Jewish Conspiracy was afoot
allegedly :^)
Andrew Hughes
Marxists have been the majority in America for a fucking hundred years at this point.
Cooper Cooper
I said "Leftists and Protestants", just because I'm a Cat Lick who disagrees with protestants doesn't mean that I delude myself into thinking that they are all leftists. That's why I said that protestants together with leftists make up the majority of the US.
Gavin Long
Yeah all the important stuff Fransico Pionered like
-Banning Free Speech
-Implementing Gun Control
-Murder of Political Opponents
-Ignoring People’s basic freedom
-Denying the fact that Martin Luther Did Nothing Wrong
Fransisco was a terrible leader who should’ve never came to power. CNT/FAI>Franco any fay of the week. At least the Anarchists understand Freedom and Democracy.
Daniel Myers
That’s because 80% of Americans are Protestants. The other 20% are illegal Mexican immigrants.
Camden Smith
Leave you anti-American. Protestantism is the American form of Christianity if you don’t like it go back to Mexico you illegal scum.
Easton Martinez
The sheer variety of different ideologies (some political, some simply regional) on both sides is interesting even if nothing else is. In some ways that's similar to Syria was in the early period.
Grayson Thompson
Gas your self Marxist shitposter.
Benjamin Fisher
At least for burgers is it. Most people wouldn't even knew there was a civil war in Spain if it wasn't for Pan's Labyrinth.
As for the mexicunts there, most of them were commies recruited by the House of the World Worker, an anarchosyndicalist organization

But even here the Spanish Civil War is mostly ignored.
Now, the post-WWI german revolution is grossly overlooked, even if had a huge influence on the german society and it's effects rippled on future years.
Ayden Lewis
The US is planning a huge, nationwide Spanish civil war reenactment. The date hasn't been set yet, but pretty soon probably.
Chase Wright
So, homemade armoured cars soon?

Wir zogen übers weite Meer
ins fremde Spanierland,
zu kämpfen für der Freiheit Ehr'
weil Haß und Krieg entbrannt.
Hier herrschten Marxisten und Rote,
der Pöbel der hatte die Macht.
Da hat, als der Ordnung Bote,
der Deutsche Hilfe gebracht.
Wir jagten sie wie eine Herde
und der Teufel, der lachte dazu,
…
die Roten in spanischer Luft und zur Erde,
wie ließen sie nirgends in Ruh.
Hat auch der Tod mit harter Hand
die Besten oft gefällt
- wir hielten aus, der Wall stand fest,
die rote Flut zerschellt.
Und ziehen die Legionäre
als Sieger ins deutsche Land,
dann schreiten mit unsere Toten,
wir heben zum Gruße die Hand.
Wir jagten sie wie eine Herde
und der Teufel, der lachte dazu,
…
die Roten in spanischer Luft und zur Erde,
wir ließen sie nirgends in Ruh.
Lincoln Ramirez
It was supposed to be the war to end all shitpots.
Justin Martinez
How has the Spanish civil war not gone down in history as one of the best things humans have ever done?
Luis Watson
Should have sold them off as chattel slavery to african warlords tbh.
Camden King
"Talmudic Marxist deserve free speech, guise!"
Commies also disarmed their political rivals
self defense against Marxism*
He spawned the religion that openly endorses zionism and miscegenation.

Search for "Spanish Civil War Armoured Cars"
You will find a whole host of them.

Has a good list but there's hundreds scattered about.
Dylan Morris
CNT-FAI literally seized the guns from the police and army and distributed them amongst the workers.
Marx said that any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated by force if necessary.
Franco merged most small gun factories that became popular in ww1 into a couple of big corporations to effectively enforce gun control and banned dissenting opinions even amongst his right wing coalition after they won the war. Dude was no better than the bolshevils.
Benjamin Baker
Franco wasn't a tenth of the man General De Rivera was, but unless I missed the part where he genocided 66 million Spaniards come the fuck on.
Lincoln Thomas
Spain is the second country with more common graves in the world only behind cambodia. Franco's troops killed a shitton of people, every time they captured a village they shot any dissidence.
Any historian with any self respect will agree that the sublevados were the ones who carried the most brutal repression and most of the rearguard executions.
General primo de rivera (not to be confused with his son, the falangist jose antonio primo de rivera) defended a king who sent wave after wave of spaniards to die in africa, culminating on the disaster of annual.
Samuel Lopez
Don't get me wrong, the stalinists and MLs also had their fair share of repression and executions. The anarchists too, especially at the start of the war, but they relied on the support of the lower classes so they could not just go and shoot any one who disagreed.

If these edits keep coming I might have to dig around for Spanish Civil War photos and dump them here.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
Just realized how much meme potential the Spanish Civil War has. This is just a glimpse.

Fuck off commies
Andrew Bell
Leftists are human trash. They are literally worse than any disease ever encountered. You could kill 100 million leftists and it still wouldn't make up for all of the damage they have done to humanity over just the past 100 years.
Landon Miller
You can't call them human trash if they aren't human. Human trash at least can be redeemed at some point if they don't off themselves before it.
Blake Mitchell
It's official. Krauts hate fun.
Christian Sullivan
Took you long enough Greece. Now shut up and pay your debts
Ayden Wood
This surprises you?
Gavin Lopez
This makes me sad.
Ryder Cooper
Adrian Ross
Well they made a group in the Spanish Civil War called "Fat Cunts" and there was another called "Ugly"
Josiah Sullivan
It was largely overshadowed by WW2.
Juan Evans
Taken too soon
Oliver Brown
I was just saying that if we have civil war, we should just build a bunch of killdozers. They could be out version of the Hussite War Wagon
If you don’t know what a killdozer is, look it up
James Adams
As long as you race them afterwards.
Ryder Diaz
But that lead to the death of the greatest empire in human history, leading to the probable end of western civilisation in general - no matter what else happened, just laying the groundwork for that makes WW2 one of the worst things that human beings have ever done.
Asher Walker
true, how great then that we have feature history now who seem to be pretty cool
Mason Brooks
True, but that doesn't dismiss it's sheer scale of clusterfuckiness.
Levi Robinson
Isn't (at least the first half of) every war a wall to wall clusterfuck showroom though? Granted WW2, being the biggest war to date, had a much larger cluster of fucks - but that's to be expected.
Josiah Scott
i didnt know ww2 ended roman empire
Jaxson Lopez
True, but WW2 overshadowed the spanish civil war like how rhodesia and south africa are generally overshadowed by the other events in the cold war.
Adam Lee
bump
Zachary Garcia
If you call everyone you kill a leftist, then suddenly it seems justified, but of course, Franco killed more than just leftists, and I'd rather not have the government police my thoughts.
Camden Rodriguez
The thing to discuss is why haven't the hymns been recited
CARA AL SOL
Austin Mitchell
Cara al sol con la camisa nueva,
que tú bordaste en rojo ayer,
me hallará la muerte si me lleva
y no te vuelvo a ver.
Formaré junto a mis compañeros
que hacen guardia sobre los luceros,
impasible el ademán,
y están presentes en nuestro afán.
Si te dicen que caí,
me fui al puesto que tengo allí.
Grayson Wood
do you even have a tv channel or went to school?
they indocrinate them right on the schools.

I'll never understand how centralization is fantastic for wars but awful for everything else.
