It seems wrong to label Spain blue for "Democratic" when it was ruled by a dictator until 1975. Especially since Switzerland is labeled grey, even though it had a democratic government. You should change the label to just "anti-Communist."

@@samsonsoturian6013 Almost. Austria, Sweden, and Ireland are also not part of NATO, and yet they're the same light blue as France, which was a founding NATO member. Meanwhile Spain didn't join until 1982. Something about the coloring/labeling is definitely weird and incorrect.

Wait hold on, did you just said Spain was a democratic state? It was a cruel, genocidal fascist dictatorship under Francisco Franco (helped out by Hitler and Mussolini themselves) up until 1975. And Portugal was a corporative dictatorship as well under Salazar until 1974. But I guess the US gave it a pass...
@kK-ox7rk3 жыл бұрын
Well Spain was under a “dictatorship” but it wasn’t cruel and specially not genocidal.....”helped out” by Hitler and Mussolini wouldn’t the best way to describe it either, Hitler asked Spain to be their allies in WW2 but Spain didn’t want to join. That’s the only time Hitler and Franco ever met. Btw after a while Franco tried to become more friendly to the western powers but since it was a dictatorship it didn’t go too well with the USA. But it is to be noted that Franco prevented Spain from becoming a communist country

How about adding the disappearances of 114,266 people between 17 July 1936 and December 1951 still estimated to be in unmarked graves and the fact that we continue, to this day, exhume every year bodies from these graves. Not cruel at all... for sure not.

“Democracy vs Communism”? Please. It wasn’t about democracy. The US organized coups (and deaths) of democratically elected leaders who were leftist. And also the US supported dictatorships who were from the right. It wasn’t about democracy. So that title is extremely misleading. A more correct title should be “Capitalism vs Communism”

These changes are not always easy, but the alternative is really not very appealing. The habits of dysfunction are bizarrely comforting, but they do not make them ok nor effective. The better work, while minimizing usurpations can ease some of the rhetoric without ridding the obvious needs of decent governance. Human rights is a baseline requirement for this work... and it is good work.

You have confused sovietism and communism. The Greek question was less about communism as it was about Stalin setting up shop in Greece if the (Yugoslav) backed communist rebels succeeded. The establishment in the US was less concerned about communism as an ideology. The sales pitch to the people had to be moral, and that is where communism came into play.
