Seventy-five years ago today, on July 17, 1936, Francisco Franco led the Army of Africa against the Popular Front government in Madrid.  The long Spanish Civil War began.  According to the left, this was a classic conflict between socialism and fascism.  Orwell, and others, saw Bolsheviks in Spain murderously purge all rivals on the left during the war.   The greater lesson of this war is that the "left" is simply a gang of corrupt power-junkies.  The politically correct history given us is grotesquely false.

Very interesting article about the Spanish Civil War.
