Do you think we're going to see another Spanish civil war serving as a dry run for communism vs fascism round 2, or is that too obvious normie thinking?</div>\n<p>I think Madrid will keep control with occasional unrest; no one has international <em>patrons</em> like in the Spanish Civil War</p>\n\n<p>I think it\u2019s the playing-out of EU consolidation and pacification - if Spain isn\u2019t defending you from France, and it isn\u2019t capturing Havana for your benefit, and it isn\u2019t minting you a currency or protecting your industries with tariffs, then what\u2019s the appeal of being Spanish?</p>"}
