Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell.
The "republicans" lost to Franco in part because they were marxists too busy slaughtering each other. I think they spent more energy executing one another than fighting the war.
Reading Orwell you can't help but be glad Franco won.
It was only after Franco was dead for forty years that it was safe to say you opposed him. Franco was a fascist dirt-bag the Left likes to call a ‘’right-winger’’ like they do Hitler.
