36 years prior to that date, his Nationalist forces won the Spanish Civil War with the military backing of Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy (you may be familiar, perhaps, with the Luftwaffe’s firebombing bombing of Guernica in support of Franco during this war, as depicted by Picasso).
Despite remaining “neutral” in the ensuing world war, his Spain sent thousands of volunteers to fight alongside the axis powers. Meanwhile, during and following the Spanish Civil War, la Represión franquista (The Francoist Repression) performed a “cleansing” of political opponents, union leaders, teachers, Freemasons, homosexuals, and other groups it deemed undesirable, in which hundreds of thousands were interned, tens of thousands were executed, and hundreds of thousands more were exiled to France, many of whom would eventually be sent to Nazi concentration camps under the Vichy government.
These, among other events, barred Spain from admission to the United Nations following World War II. UN General Assembly Resolution 39 asserted Franco’s regime as “fascist” “in origin, nature, structure, and general conduct,” and as having supplied “very substantial aid” to the axis powers, ultimately naming Franco as “a guilty party with Hitler and Mussolini,” ultimately recommending the withdrawal of all ambassadors from Spain. It wouldn’t be until about ten years later that the Cold War forced the reassessment of this policy, and the grudging acceptance of Spain after it committed to some democratic reforms.
In present day, Spain's far right continues to pay its respects to his tomb with flowers and fascist salutes, often surrounded by protestors chanting "Truth, justice and compensation for the victims of Franco" or "We won't forgive, we won't forget!" Spain's Civil Guard watches closely to stop any pro-Franco propaganda and cease illegal items like flags of the Franco regime.
“Francoism is based on a single and very simple concept - class.”
“The two classes recognized by Francoist Thought are the Feederites, who are the nations of their respective Pacific and seek to harness and work with the means of production (namely the Pacific region itself), and the Userites, who seek to exploit its fruits; by exploiting both the nations of the Pacific and the political structure set up within it to further their own political, military and social power.”
“The Pacific shall remain a state where the teachings and dogmas of the Francoist Revolution, inspired by Proper Francoist Thought, written in August 2005, are to be preserved, obeyed, and practiced in perpetuity.”
“We are very patient and we do not forget - we just waited for the right time to strike. It has to be said, that we are no raiders and our motivations are always highly political. We do not engage in military actions without a proper Casus Belli.”
I'm speechless. I have no speech. These last 12 hours have been a chaotic, beautiful mess and embodied what NationStates is all about. Players from all over coming together and finding a reason to truly take a side and engage to the fullest. Like fuck, dude. I am in awe with all of the regions and players that came to support this mission. In this moment, words seem a little limited to fully convey the joy that we were able to create. We inspired intense motivation to push our abilities to the limits. 162 endorsements in 12 hours. This has not happened in such a long time. We were ahead. Today will be remembered in NationStates history for years to come and you can say that you were part of it.
Thank you to all of the regions, organizations, and individuals that were on our side. Even though we had tough luck and wasn't able to see our hard work tangibly realized, please know that it is truly realized and sincerely appreciated. Giddy up.

And looks extremely arrogant, as well as obviously wrong (or "lying",as we call it in these parts...) in its claim that the Pacific[s] are "the means of production": That term implies that the region[s] create nations and then make them available to players, who therefore should show their gratitude by leaving the nations in place, whereas -- of course -- nations are created by individual players who might well have intended moving them out to UCRs all along (and are only assigned to feeder regions, initially, by game mechanics that the feeders & their governments also had no role in creating).Ever-Wandering Souls wrote:Well, we have here on NationStates a branch of followers of an ideology known as “Francoism.” This is not a direct following of Francisco Franco, but rather an ideology named by Poskrebyshev and Unlimited/Vladimir after the player “Francos Spain,” especially in the latter's essay “Proper Francoist Thought.” Besides being of a frankly disgusting root namesake, as above, this ideology is one rooted in division and the demonization of a lesser class of players.
