We need a Franco, someone in the military who will take the wheel.

Franco had no policies of his own and was basically just a soldier's soldier. If you want to actually change society you need at least some politics. Franco failed in this which is why Spain went straight back to Liberalism when he died...

José Antonio Primo de Rivera would have been so much more successful as a leader.

I like Franco for three reasons:

  • he was anti-democratic
  • he successfully saved Spain from Bolshevism, left-wing lunacy, whatever you want to call eahtever that was
  • he did not fuck everything up the way Hitler and Mussolini did. Yes Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin no good either but....

The reason Hitler and Mussolini fucked up is because they actually did fight jews, finance, and liberalism. The reason Franco didn't is because he didn't.

Hitler and Mussolini actually fought for their people and were destroyed for it, Franco kept his people in slavery and therefore wasn't destroyed. What good is an Orban, Salazar, Franco etc if all they do is relieve a few of the symptoms for a while? They are just painkillers hiding the effects of international finance, once they're gone the people are still infected with the disease.
