Spanish+Fascism+D

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - i.e. [|catalun.jpg.jpeg] - Spain used propaganda and slogans such as "To defend Madrid is to defend Spain" - Used red as the primary color in their propaganda.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Francisco Franco, the leader of Spain prohibited speaking in dialects - Made some people "disappear"

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The Spanish government tried to unite Spain by saying that the other European countries on the East were trying to attack Spain. Many propaganda (like the one shown above) encouraged Spanish people to defend their country.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Violence was often used to control people

5. Rampant Sexism -Education was different between boys and girls. Girls were encouraged to study cooking and economics in school because they would ¨provide the basic pillars for happiness within a girl`s future family.¨

6. Controlled Mass Media -Because it was illegal to go against the government, the media could only tell lies about it, although nobody strictly told them to do so.

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Religion was Catholic, although Franco held the power of all the clergymen, and used that power to motivate people to do what he said.

9. Corporate Power is Protected - Only those on the very top hold all the money. All the rest are given just what they need in order to survive. - After Spanish government gains power from Civil war, they wanted to keep the power to dominate their citizens.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - In Spain, labor power was very much suppressed, as it was better for Franco to continue on ruling everyone.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - There was some schooling, but, not much, if, at all.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Franco's forces were well known for their cruelty. They killed without asking any questions, and they literally could do anything they wanted, as long as it went with Franco's party.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Franco only, or mostly allowed only family, or close friends to join his little 'group'.

14. Fraudulent Elections - Franco always bribed, or blackmailed higher ranking political leaders in order to get support for him, in order for the average citizens to vote for him.
