    I didn't say that the catholic-fascist dictatorship of country X was evil. I said that after they won (whatever their reasons for starting the fight) they kept the power for 40 years using force and without consulting the population. Now, if you want to put other things in the balance, feel free to do it. I can't avoid to ask myself if we were talking about concrete real countries like Germany or Japan, instead of the hypothetical country X, we would be so picky about nuances. Maybe, you are right and it's a propaganda thing.

  You just omitted everything, for example that the republic had 8 different Coup d'etat and that it often needed to use the army to repress their own civilians, restrict rights in many regions and became ungovernable during most of its time. Neither the Republic was a free democratically elected nor the dictatorship was fascist during its whole time in the power. And still the fascist dictatorship was still terrible with no doubt, but missing the key facts misses the point of history which should be to honor the truth to avoid repeating those mistakes again. You are still judging it in the frame of the modern world. Do not romanticize the past by judging only parts of the story projecting modern ideas on them. Saludos Roberto.
