The reason for mentioning Russia and China is that they were the most spectacular successes that I could think of, gaining for Lenin and Mao control of huge, superpower territories. I don't believe Franco's success was anywhere near this scale. The reason for not mentioning Hitler is that Nazi Germany ended as a smoking crater, one reason it wouldn't be as brain dead easy to argue for Hitler's "success". I wish I could give right wing examples, care to help me out with some? Does George Washington count?
