>>18243388The institutions Mussolini set up during Fascism literally caused the postwar economic boom for Italy, although it's not socially acceptable to admit that

>>18243388>Manages to defeat his enemies, stay in power, and keep his country afloat >After his death power is peacefully transferred back to the monarchy>UHH HE FAILED BECAUSE SPANIARDS AREN'T TURBO FASCISTS TO THIS DAY
>>18243440I'm sury Franco will be deligthed to see his nation becoming more left wing than what any European of his time could even have conceived about the left political spectrum.
>>18243388>>18243440That failure is on Juan Carlos; not Franco. And this isn't some americope with "it doesn't count if we lose AFTER we leave." No, it's that Juan Carlos inherited the nation as planned, but he decided against its continuation like a coward. That's not a failure of Franco's system, that's a failure of trusting the wrong man.That's like saying Leonidas wasn't a great warrior because Ephialtes did something else.
>>18243474Should have picked a better successor desu
>>18243478I agree. Never trust monarchists after WWI.
>>18243478He had. That guy got assassinated in a car bomb.

>>18243478it could have worked if he had chosen the right prince
>>18243355That would be Tito
>>18243355Salazar?
>>18243355Is he the Spanish Cromwell or is Cromwell the English Franco?
>>18243478You know he was blown up by the basques yes?
>>18243981CIA did it. He was going for spanish independent nuclear program.

>>18243363>mediterranean>portugal
>>18243388short lived reigns usually generate more nostalgia than 40 year long regimes that peacefully dissolve, yeseither way, there is no debate as to who was more directly influential on their nation's progress, and it was not Benito. that's not to say that he wasnt a great net positive in many regards of course, Franco just had more time to flesh out his policies>>18243473retard, see >>18243474 and >>18243492 (by the CIA)
>>18243499That foundation is useless and full of inoperative boomersFrancoism is more alive and widespread today than at any point since the late 80s
>>18244390He was too lenient to be a Sulla. His catholic wife and upbringing weighed on him (not necessarily a bad trait, but definitely not the pragmatic approach on how to deal with enemies of Sulla)
>>18243388Serious question, whats his legacy like in Spain? Is it one of those things where left wing people hate on him while right wing people praise him?Or is it more controversial where right wingers like him, but they have to be cautious with their praise of him and they bring down statues of him in polite society?Or is Franco just completely untouchable in a way similar to Hitler in Germany? In a way where NO ONE, even a right winger who might secretly like him, would never publicly praise him?Im an American and I equate this sort of stuff to praise of the Confederacy.
>>18244390>>18243977I see him Spaniard-Galician version of Shōgun
>>18243363Not Mediterranean and Franco was better in the latter part of his rule than Salazar was.
>>18244641>not the pragmatic approach on how to deal with enemies of SullaYou mean slaughtering everybody who says a bad word against you, Iossif?

>>18243399What institutions? Sincere question
>>18243355>1933: The left Republicans and Socialists attempted to pressure Niceto Alcalá Zamora, the president of the Republic, into cancelling the election results. They did not contest the ballot results but simply rejected the center-right's victory; they argued the Republic was a leftist project and so only leftist parties should be allowed to governWhy were the Lefties so comically evil?
