Good heavens Shaw!!!! Just looked!!!! And the similarities between what Franco did to secure his regime and country against reactionary counter-revolution and what Lenin and Stalin did are amazing!!! Does that make him a Communist???

We have the Parliamentary democracy we enjoy today because of actions taken by Oliver Cromwell who ruled as a complete and utter despot - yet he is known as the "Father of British Democracy" that is why his statue stands outside the House of Commons, while the statues of other notables stand in Parliament Square.
