Kiwi is pretty amazing!

Franco’s dictatorship, though perhaps less universally invoked in conversations about #fascism than #Hitler or #Mussolini, deserves greater scrutiny as we reflect on the resilience, creative expression, and quiet defiance of those who lived through it.

Imagine how much more profound our understanding of resistance, solidarity, and the endurance of the human spirit could be if we brought Spain's history into these conversations.

Is it because it's "too soon" since Spain's transition out of a crushing dictatorship still lives in the memory of many still living?

Is it because Mussolini and Hitler failed while Franco succeeded (for nearly 4 decades!) that it's so easy to bring their names up but not his?

Was Franco that successful at silencing his own people that even others many decades later, separated by entire oceans have forgotten what he did and all that Spain had to endure to recover from the harm his dictatorship caused?
