Is Fascism ok?????????
So for a end of school history project I chose Fascism in Europe. I was researching leaders like Salazar, Franco, and Mussolini and the more I learn about them the more I am starting to like them. Their countries were strong Catholic countries that held prestige and had pretty good economies(e.g. the Spanish Miracle 1959-1974) Now I know Fascism would never work in America b/c of the constitution and the fact that we are not a country made up of one ethnicity. I know the Mussolini had political enemies killed but I was reading that other than the Spanish Civil War everyone got a trial in Franco Spain( I don't know how true that is but it was written in a pretty legit looking book) Also crime was really low in Spain, Portugal, and Italy and (again only from books I've looked through) The only time you needed to be afraid of the government was when you were doing something wrong. I would love it if people who actually lives through Franco Spain or the Estado Novo could answer but anyone who loves history and knows their stuff it's much appreciated!! thanks in advance!! (also please don't mention Hitler b/c he was a National Socialist..thanks again)
