Not when the true meaning of tyranny is understood, does Castro, Kim, Franco, Hitler give one a better understanding of tyranny?

Alan, As Paul Harvey used to say, I would like to hear the rest of the story! This was a little known event that had not come to light.

You are right about Uncle Joe, killer of how many million of his own people? Franco only has a couple hundred thousand of the opposition put to death and equal amounts ran out of the country to obtain a single party country.

Franco was the man for the times.Do you think Spain would have prospered as it did until recently under a quasi communist government?Do you think there wouldn't have been more death and oppression under a republican (communist) government?
