    To begin with, Franco was not strictly comparable with Hitler or Mussolini. His rising was a military mutiny backed up by the aristocracy and the Church, and in the main, especially at the beginning, it was an attempt not so much to impose Fascism as to restore feudalism. This meant that Franco had against him not only the working class but also various sections of the liberal bourgeoisie—the very people who are the supporters of Fascism when it appears in a more modern form.

    From Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”, emphasizes added.

    The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it’s in their interests to do so. Don’t trust them past the current crisis.

      Don’t even trust them now. Nothing has happened yet. We can say that they took our side after MAGA is out of power and the extremist apparatus that supported them is totally destroyed.

      If there’s one lesson we can learn from Trump, it’s that it’s much easier to destroy something than it is to build it. IF we gain power again, we need to take that lesson to heart, and turn it against the fascists who gleefully applied it to the American people, and the rest of the democratic world.
