Spain was economically devastated after its Civil War. It could not even feed itself. It could not equip or supply an army. There was no way it could enter WWII. The only thing it could supply to Germany was warm bodies. Even with that, Germany could not afford to equip or supply a major influx of Spanish troops. Franco wasn't brilliant, but he was practical. Even before German catastrophes, Franco could see Germany was not the wave of the future.

Re 45:30, if you study Ronald Rogowskiʼs 1989 book "Commerce and Coalitions" you might discover that Francoʼs idea is potentially less absurd than presented here. Rogowski demonstrated that both American capitalists and European workers gained from trade and thus possessed a cested interest in an economic globalisation that threatened to (and after World War II and especially the 1973 oil crisis, did) eliminate the influence of the ecclesiastical and landowning powers who formerly ruled Europe and whose support drove Franco to power. Rogowski is in fact not emphatic enough about how whole groups - the Catholic Church in Europe, blacks in the United States - lose from expanding trade.

Well, I just subscribed to the RU-vid channel and so did my husband. Fragile ego much? It’s well done and I’m sure glad I found this. Have you seen anything about #Project2025 ? They are very similar.

@Fjodor.Tabularasa 6 месяцев назад

You are totally right. Equalling Trump with dictators in the thirties by that wannabe 'historian' was laughable. But just ignore it. It only disqualified everything he said after. It is also very petty it was included in the video. It kinda destroys its whole credibility.

Franco could smell a worse rat and was one of the most intelligent dictators in recent history.

So Franco means by spaniards only the ones who think like he does? How is that Nazism? It is the very definition of communism; clash of the classes, etc.

@herrero4270 5 месяцев назад

Nazis believe in cooperation among the classes, not a struggle.

No, it is the definition of Totalitarianism, on either side of the political spectrum.

@herrero4270 4 месяца назад

Nazism NEVER spoke about class struggle, but on the contrary they spoke about class colaboration. Just as Franco did.

Franco's dictatorship was quasi-totalitarian. The Falange had its own ideology. He shared with the Fascists and Communists the objectives of eliminating anti-social and ideologically subversive elements, an excellent objective, and _autarchy,_ or national economic self-sufficiency, a worthy goal but impracticable in the long term and impractical in the short to medium term. Still, Franco and the Falange had the right idea.

41.03; the Catalan Jordi Riera says in Catalan that the teacher (mestre) "Aquí se hablan cristiano" which means "here one speaks Christian". The translator says "here we speak Spanish". The tying together of Spanish and Christianity, versus Catalan, and, logically, not-Christianity, is important in understanding Franco's dislike of inferiors. Although, it should be noted the child of El Ferrol did not have antipathy to Gallego...
