Start with the Spanish Civil War.

And, by the way, the American revolutionaries weren’t right wingers in the modern sense. Although the Confederates were.

The confederates don’t fit the category of revolution. There people just wanted out of a union they saw as unjust. But since I wasn’t there ...

What I see in a modern revolution is what happened in Venezuela, where people were conned into thinking they were going to get the free pies only to find the baker quits.

It’s what the minstrel man Obama is selling. Split the tip between two homeless guys and the homeless guys will out vote the waiter everytime. It’s a con job.

Spanish Civil War?
I am not sure about that.

Francisco Franco was a fascist that would make them left wing. But then again he got support from the fascists but I know he resisted them after he took power.

So, I am bit hazy on that war.
