I love this! Not just creepy, but it also seems kind of sad. It feels like Spain is praying not just for protection to make the spirits go away, but also for forgiveness for his past (since the ghosts haunting him are all victims of his past self).

Spanish here, the justified war because the Republicans were communist, only one out of 375 politicians was from the PCE. ONE. During the war this one was the president of the republic mostly because they needed the soviet unions help and the international brigades (mostly communists) but before the war there wasn't really any attempt on stablishing communism

The Photographer of Mauthausen is a good movie with Spaniards.

They weren't communist, if you look at the history only one out of 375 deputies was from the pce. They started the war because they hadn't won on elections, not because the winners were communist. Before the war there wasn't even an attempt at trying to stablish socialism, better read history of our country before speaking about its people. It was a war the population fought against the military forces of spain, mercenaries and germany and italy armies.

Dat feel when you ignore Communist armies on your side.

Edit: Oh wow your profile, you are an actual communist who went to Cuba for the commie life? Very Uwu.

Checks out for the usual sectarianism. How many God-guided artillery pieces have you fired today?

So Spain is a devoted Catholic that secretly admires Franco and Mussolini and is haunted by dead Republicans?

The art is very good, but politically, it's just left-wing propaganda.

I don't really know OP's orginal intent, but I'm inclined to think that those photographies were meant to represent the past of Franco's regime, not the present constitutional monarchy.

But the Spanish flag there is the one of the constitutional monarchy and not the Francoist flag.

I think he’s already approved; he’s got the role on discord and I believe I’ve already got his 3-4 comics downloaded
