Remembering Mao. Remembering Spain.

Communism kills

Josh Gelertner

A good reminder.

What would have happened to Spain if the reds had won?

To this day, the propaganda of the left controls memory of the Spanish Civil War and the conventional view on who were the good guys and who the bad guys.

Much as the left controls memory of the long civil war in China.

In both cases the propaganda concentrates overwhelmingly on the wickedness of the white (as opposed to red) forces.

Much as the left wing propaganda against the Vietnam War concentrated on the wickedness of government of the South, and of the conduct of the war by the South and the US.

The left had done the same in France against the war in Indochina and the later war in Algeria.

But in the case of Spain the left at the time and to this day hid reality by characterizing its side as "the Republican side."

Of course, the Republic was no better than a red controlled zombie from very shortly after the Nationalist uprising began.
