The Spain as left by Franco was far and above anything that the bolsheviks and their lackeys left after falling everywhere else, like in Eastern Europe.
But the stronghold of leftists among academia is so strong that these questions are so rarely raised. Another example of the bolshie-leftist influence is how the USSR and the RSA are compared. During the recent Football World Cup we heard again how reporters and everyone who wanted to be "in" were applauding how FIFA ejected the so evil apartheid South Africa from their tournaments while conveniently forgetting to wonder why the very same FIFA of great moral fiber had no trouble in keeping in the USSR, the number 1 human rights violator of all times. What was going in RSA at that time was peanuts in comparison. And considering the facts that ever since the bakcks took over RSA, the sole beacon in the whole continent has sunken in the bottom with vast increase in corruption, crime, economic instability. These facts are again so unpleasant to the Red academia.

I would not call pre-civil war spanish government as "Stalinist", majoriy of this left wing spanish were socialist and anarchist, neither were friends of Soviet, and as far as I know neither Stalin nor Hilter had direct role of the breaking out of the spanish civil war, that tragic war was a result of almost 100 year long bloody conflict between left wing and right wing of the spanish society. It was a conflict between liberal vs conservative, rather than Fascist vs communist
