FWIW, the only thing I recall from Spain during that time was their betrayal of Germany who funded their fascist side during their civil war. Spain wanted France for their assistance in WWII & since Germany wouldn't budge, Spain stayed psuedo-neutral along with Switzerland.re: "democracy vs. totalitarianism"
... Beware the tyranny of mob rule, lest we forget that's precisely why pure democracies don't work.

NO, but a socialist, YES! ... nobody said money follows intelligence, only that a fool loses it.
You'd think that with the money Hollywood makes, it wouldn't want such a system, but every chance they get they want their projects publicly funded. That's right, billion dollar industries want more of your money to fund more stuff (mostly propaganda) because the populus won't pay to see it. Or, how about millionare actors asking the middle-class & poor to fund out-of-work actors? Talk about cojones! It's amazing they can walk at all!
