[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4066552, member: 7724"]thank you for the link. it shows that the lower classes weren't the working ones intellectually... it was rather the gentry, that seems to have been deranged and used all their force to keep influence on the public opinion and their investiments for their easy living by their blarney about the situation on the continent. modern historians class the Franco era rather as a military dictatorship with the typical attributes of Juntas. Mussolini and others were strictly against "the" Church and would have closed down the Vatican if they didn't need the masses. there's a good book of Ian Kershaw about Lord Londonderry that shows another level of weirdo-ism in those years.[/QUOTE]
