Members of a communist/socialist youth group.
That would make them the 12 turds
What they would have done given the chance ... remember Lenin and the killing of the Czar and all of his family including children.
That is a very good question.
I have little sympathy for the people who seek to enslave the world. The Spanish communists ,like the Bolsheviks, murdered Christian priests and nuns .

Can’t see Franco as any kind of “freedom fighter”

The Spanish communists have been lionized in the U.S. because the media and academia are filled with pro-communists. You can wear a Che shirt but not a Himmler shirt. One of Biden’s top advisors claims Mao was one of her heroes.
