"Despite the widespread republican sentiment, Spaniards support the monarchy because of their reverence for King Juan Carlos - born in exile during the Franco dictatorship, brought back and groomed to succeed him as head of state after Franco died in 1975 and a hero for putting down a coup attempt six year later by generals nostalgic for right-wing rule."

This is the associate press calling fascism a right wing ideology not I. Again your article is a link from an unreliable Internet source. I cannot even verify the veracity of your piece. You gave no bibliographical information. But to leave that aside. Even if they call themselves socialists "which they did" changes nothing. Because fascism was a response from the right to the threat of revolution from the communists. It was a strategy in response to the 1929 world economic crisis and the Russian revolution. They had support from the catholic church and conservative groups in general that saw communism as a threat against religion, the family and property. It is odd that you believe that fascism is not a right wing ideology because fascist considered themselves right wingers. (they still do). But regardless of that don't you find odd that you claim that no right wingers existed in Europe? Because at the time there were the communists on the left (with very organized parties). The fascists on the left according to you. Than where was the right? Where were the defenders of religion, the family and property? According to you and the other members of the board the right disappeared from Europe from 1920s-1945. Odd, no right wingers for many decades. Where did they go?

You can call them "right" if you want to, but they did not believe in free enterprise. They condemned capitalist "plutocracy" of the "international bankers" and communism both as materialist jewish inventions.

Blaming "the right", capitalists, conservatives, and the Catholic Church for Nazism is a leftist mindset. The Nazis hated all these groups and worked to destroy them all.

Real conservative Germans loathed Hitler and many of them were executed in the July plot. They plotted to kill Hitler not because they sympathized with Germany's enemies, but because they wanted to win World War II.

Than where was the right? Where were the defenders of religion, the family and property?

Are you saying this is what the nazis stood for?

The Nazis were gangs of homosexuals who set up nationalized whorehouses for SS men to breed the Master Race.

Is that what you think conservative family values stand for?
