23
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:00,719
doing great, Pete glad to be here. Awesome, awesome, Hey,

24
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:05,280
if you're here, let's talk about a little more about

25
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,840
the Spanish Civil War, and let's go in a completely

26
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000
different direction than we've done before. When I read this,

27
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,360
I was like, Yeah, this information has to get out there,

28
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,360
because not only does it speak to the time they

29
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,680
were in, but I think it definitely speaks to a

30
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,080
lot of the conversations that we have now as far

31
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,039
as women in politics and conversations like that. So yeah,

32
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:34,759
I'll just let you go, all right.

33
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:45,159
Speaker 2: So, as in our last recording, my Spanish correspondent and

34
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:52,639
friend Morgor, he'd been helping me with some research and translation,

35
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,520
and then started he was really inspired by the assassination

36
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,199
of Charlie Kirk to talk about like a realistic perspective

37
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,479
on the similarities and differences between Spain of the thirties

38
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:13,479
and the United States now, as you know, as well

39
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,800
as just kind of the meta global kind of European

40
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,120
political scene. And so he keeps coming across all this

41
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:26,319
really interesting information and so he's been writing these articles.

42
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:29,879
I just apply a tiny bit of Polish to them

43
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,759
because some stuff doesn't translate perfectly from Spanish to English,

44
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,319
and so I'm just happy to be sharing those. But yeah,

45
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,479
this one is a banger Women in the Spanish Civil War,

46
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,800
and you know, putting together my substack article and you

47
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,719
can read this read along with us at Carldall dot

48
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,800
substack dot com. That's k A R L d a

49
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,840
h L dot substack dot com. And the subtitle I

50
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,439
is the natural order versus progressive delusion. So let's dive

51
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,400
right into it. I'll read along and Pete will pipe

52
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:14,159
up when he wants to add some comments. There will

53
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:19,680
be plenty more coming on this topic, including a full

54
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:24,560
article on one of the women who's mentioned herein and

55
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,360
as well as Largo Cabileiro, which is going to be

56
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:31,439
super interesting because there just isn't a ton of great

57
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,720
single source information about Largo Cabierro in English. That's awesome,

58
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,720
all right, great, So we begin women are important. No

59
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,040
matter what we say, think, or do. In our heart

60
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,000
of parts, we know that women are very important to

61
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:55,120
any healthy society or movement. We have all indulged in

62
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,920
comments about Foyd's women moments and whatnot, rightfully criticizing the

63
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,959
behavior and habits of the vast majority of modern women.

64
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,879
But we know that despite their behavior, flaws, and the

65
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:14,240
many things men cannot comprehend about them which transcends time,

66
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,240
women are important. This is a constant as true in

67
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,199
the past as it remains today, no matter how many

68
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,879
years go by or how our ideas may have changed.

69
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,160
A properly functioning movement needs both men and women. It

70
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,439
can be divided by gender subgroups for men and women,

71
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:37,439
as in the Pelong Hey, but we need places of

72
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,839
honor for both. I learned some time ago that a

73
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:44,160
man is a product of his experience, while a woman

74
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,560
is a product of her environment. This truism is illustrated

75
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,519
by the years leading up to and during the Spanish

76
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:57,000
Civil War, a tumultuous time of change with new ideas, mentalities,

77
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,000
and organizations which also changenged women in many different ways

78
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,040
during the last years of the dictatorship. In the early

79
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,600
years of the Republic, there was considerable growth in workers

80
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,079
unions and left wing associations. Initially, these groups focused upon

81
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160
working men, as most women in Spain did not work.

82
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Around twenty four percent of women were employed at the time,

83
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,839
with more than eighty percent of those being widows or single,

84
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:29,800
but most women during the late nineteen twenties joined Catholic

85
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:36,120
associations as well as welfare or mutual aid organizations because

86
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,399
at the time it would have been done privately in Spain,

87
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,879
in the United States, et cetera. So the rise of

88
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:49,680
left wing organizations and workers' unions in the nineteen thirties

89
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,120
saw a steady increase in the number of working women,

90
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:59,240
mainly from humble families from Andalusia, Austurias, Catalonia, and Basque Country,

91
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,879
who formed the main bulk of those organizations female membership,

92
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,120
along with outliers such as the occasional daughter of a

93
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,480
wealthy family, intellectuals or aspiring politicians, which are so common today.

94
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,480
As the left saw a steady rise in both manpower

95
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,519
and influence within the Republic, reactionary right wing organizations also

96
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:27,000
developed and grew their own institutions. These organizations began with

97
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,279
the old religious unions and welfare organizations, which could be

98
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,399
transformed into something new or elsewhere abandoned in favor of

99
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:39,800
a more fitting structure. The moderate right wing organizations allowed

100
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:45,319
female participation, but others like the Folongey did not allow

101
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,000
female membership. For this women created their own parallel all

102
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,480
female organizations as a complementary wing of the one they

103
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:59,879
wished to join. Such was the case of the Session

104
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Feminina female section, which began as a students union, which

105
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,879
evolved into the support wing of the Phalonghey, led by

106
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,720
the scrumptious Plar Primo de Rivera, sister of Jose Antonio Primo.

107
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: De Rivera, the leader of the Falangey.

108
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,199
Speaker 2: Most women who joined right wing organizations were religious women

109
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:26,000
from all walks of life, from college days, aged women

110
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:29,720
to daughters and wives from wealthy families and the nobility.

111
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
There was a substantial divide between the left and right

112
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,039
and how women contributed and took action. Each side bears

113
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,200
the names of important women who played significant roles. The

114
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,559
lovely Plar Primo de Rivera with her chud jaw and

115
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:52,159
Mercedes Salm baschilare So. Two great women of the Spanish

116
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:56,159
right were Mercedes San Bascilaire and the aforementioned Plar Primo

117
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,679
de Rivera. Mercedes Son Baschilaire founded the Auxilio Social or

118
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:07,840
Social Aid, which initially served as a welfare organization focused

119
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:13,320
upon poverty relief in the countryside via food says rationing,

120
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,080
but really provisioning at this stage closed distribution and providing healthcare.

121
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,000
When the civil war broke out, the Auxilio social expanded

122
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720
into a support wing for the army and was soon

123
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:30,559
in charge of providing aid to the civilian population within

124
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:36,159
liberated zones through field kitchens, hospitals and the managed distribution

125
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:41,440
of rationed supplies. Pilar Primo de Rivera founded the Cession

126
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,320
Feminina or Female section support wing of the Palange mentioned before.

127
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:53,440
Their initial responsibilities focused upon communication with imprisoned Fhalonghey members,

128
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:58,240
propaganda and aiding the members the families of members of

129
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:02,240
the Falangey killed by the last of whom there were many.

130
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,200
When war broke out, the Cession Feminina grew into an

131
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,759
extremely important movement aiding the civilian population within the nationalist

132
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:17,279
zone in the same manner as the Auxilio sociol. These

133
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,679
two organizations, which eventually developed a rivalry, grew into immense

134
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:28,759
formal operations, with the Cession Feminina reaching nine hundred thousand

135
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,720
members by the end of the civil war. In the

136
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:36,919
post war Franco era, men were compelled into mandatory military service,

137
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,240
while women were required to engage in social service via

138
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:46,879
one or the other of these two organizations. While some

139
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:52,440
readers will understand neither the importance nor the dignity of

140
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:55,519
the women serving in these critical supporting roles, we cannot

141
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,200
deny their relevance in securing the final victory too.

142
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, well, what's interesting about this is that, so

143
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:12,679
take the take the war in Vietnam. Okay, the United

144
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:19,120
States invades Vietnam, and any kind of help that's being

145
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:22,519
done in there is either going to be done, There'll

146
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:28,639
be feign a, there'll be there'll be Vietnamese who would

147
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:33,279
actually do it. It's really different this being a civil war.

148
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Anyone coming in from the outside to help, you would

149
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,759
I mean, I would look at as with suspicion. Yes,

150
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,919
you know, because you this is a war where you

151
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,360
did have foreign you know, foreign outfits coming in. You

152
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:57,840
had foreign divisions coming in the United States, Germany, Russia,

153
00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:04,000
there's i mean pretty much every England, France. You know.

154
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,600
It's really it's really important that you know, you have

155
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,000
women in a civil war, that it's women who are

156
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,759
from there, and you know, obviously they're going to choose sides.

157
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,480
I mean, someone with the last name Primo, you know,

158
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,039
with a with a minor ord Rivera is going to

159
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,000
be uh obviously on one side. So yeah, I just

160
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480
thought i'd put that in there that if you're having

161
00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:33,159
a civil war, you probably do not want any you'd

162
00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:38,360
be hesitant to have volunt quote unquote volunteers coming in

163
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,480
on your side. Absolutely.

164
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the uh, the the Republic had largely i

165
00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:53,759
mean at the local level, women were essentially constrict conscripted

166
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:59,080
also into these like workers bands and everything. Uh. So

167
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600
they they helped to some degree. We'll get into that

168
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,399
in a moment, but there to your point, there was

169
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:12,039
a significant bit of foreign aid where foreigners were doing

170
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,799
the distribution, and it was heavily Communist. There were some

171
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,559
religious I want to say it was the Quakers had

172
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:26,000
some fairly decent numbers, but it was nothing like mobilizing

173
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,840
the whole society in the way that the nationalists did.

174
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,960
So all right, so we have some nice propaganda posters here,

175
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:43,879
and as noted in the the kind of the script here,

176
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,480
the Spanish rights women were never delusional. They have women

177
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,440
supporting the men in the field and the women responding

178
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,159
to take care of Spain, you know, in response on

179
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,799
to the basically the refugee crisis in destroyed cities. So

180
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:13,080
it's the it's very good framing. So the remainder of

181
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240
this article will focus upon the women of the lest

182
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,480
the left excuse me, of whom the most ardent, rabbit

183
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:22,799
and militant saw their dreams and delusions fade to dust

184
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:27,440
as the true goals of their movement were realized. Liberation

185
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,519
in quotes, drove them to destroy the virtue of other women.

186
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Their ideals led them to be betrayed by everyone around them.

187
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,399
The moment reality set in this last is the case

188
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,639
of Clara Campo Amore, one of the first and perhaps

189
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,240
the most important feminists in Spain, a woman from a

190
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,559
humble family who, after a tremendous struggle, became a divorce

191
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:57,320
lawyer and eventually a politician in the moderate Left, in fact,

192
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:01,080
the first woman to serve in the Cortesse. During her

193
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:05,120
time as a politician, she worked tirelessly to gain voting

194
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,440
rights for women, a proposition that was ironically opposed by

195
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:15,279
fellow feminist politicians such as Victoria Kent and Margherita Nelkin

196
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:21,960
last name check, who stated that quote women brainwashed by

197
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,840
the church do not deserve the vote, lest we give

198
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,960
victory to the right.

199
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Unquote, you know when you know when someone says, oh,

200
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,679
you know, the whatever power you take, what you're in power,

201
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:37,679
when you're out of power, that whoever gets in power

202
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,039
is just going to use it against you. I mean

203
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,639
that's literally what I'm reading here. Yes, exactly, yep. I

204
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:46,559
mean I'm not saying I agree with that, especially with

205
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,879
the left in this country. I mean, when when has

206
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:53,000
the left ever needed and excused to increase their power

207
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:54,000
once they exactly?

208
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:55,679
Speaker 2: You know?

209
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:57,919
Speaker 1: All right.

210
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: This statement may surprise some readers or listeners, but note

211
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,279
that many prominent interwar figures on the right promoted the

212
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,399
female franchise for that precise reason. Spanish women would eventually

213
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,240
achieve the franchise, with their first national engagement taking place

214
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:25,320
in nineteen thirty four, which the right won substantially. This

215
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,879
marked the end of Clara compo A Moore's reputation and

216
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,679
political career, as the nineteen thirty four electoral defeat caused

217
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:38,679
the left to actively disregard the issue of women's political rights.

218
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:43,240
Compoa Moore made an attempt to launch her own political party,

219
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,240
but her reputation was destroyed and joining another left wing

220
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,919
party was out of the question. She fled to France

221
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,799
shortly after the Civil War broke out, but not without

222
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:59,080
first witnessing and testifying to the lies of the leftist

223
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,679
government and the lack of order, discipline, and honor of

224
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:08,160
the leftist militias, who often confronted and murdered their own officers.

225
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:17,319
So there's frumpy Claudia who realized that it was all

226
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:17,880
in vain.

227
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:23,079
Speaker 1: You know, we just really have to thank leftists for

228
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,720
murdering their own officers. This just does the work. Yeah,

229
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,720
that's just work that doesn't have to be done.

230
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:44,319
Speaker 2: A nice compounding effect, all right, Okay, So the Newborn's

231
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Second Spanish Republic of nineteen thirty one was one of

232
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:52,200
the most progressive governments in Europe regarding women's rights in

233
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:58,359
certain aspects. The constitution recognized women as eligible for public

234
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,880
service as well as the election to parliament, and in

235
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,039
nineteen thirty two, both civil union laws and a divorce

236
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,240
law were passed. That said, quote unquote, liberation was still

237
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:16,039
a long road ahead, as women faced severe disadvantages in

238
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:22,640
the labor market, such as explicit codified wage discrimination, a

239
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:27,440
lack of unemployment benefits in the unavailability of medical insurance. This,

240
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,839
coupled with the spirit of the time, led many single

241
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,000
working women, whether widows, mothers, or not, to form the

242
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:40,160
bulk of women supporting the left. The Spanish leftist political

243
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,759
parties of the time fit broadly into three groups, the

244
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:49,160
anarchists of the CNT, the Spanish Communist Party or PCE,

245
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,839
and the Socialist General Workers Union the UGT. During the

246
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,640
electoral era of the Republic, these three organizations didn't attract

247
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,519
a great number of female members, with their numbers barely

248
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:08,119
breaking five hundred at best. When the Civil War broke out,

249
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,119
these organizations saw an immense surge in female membership, with

250
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,720
the CNT gaining a peak of thirty thousand female members

251
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,359
in nineteen thirty eight, or about eighty percent of female

252
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,200
militants participating in the civil war, with about sixteen percent

253
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,079
of female militants in the PCEE the Communists, and the

254
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,480
remaining four percent in the UGT the Socialist General Workers Union.

255
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:42,000
Despite female enthusiasm for anarchism, the Communists controlled about forty

256
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:46,799
percent of all left wing committees, and the Soviets had

257
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:51,160
a lock on arms, distribution and leadership within the Republican

258
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:55,960
army and militias, which meant that all organizations would effectively

259
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,839
fall into the hands of the communists as the Civil

260
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:05,400
War or dragged on their claws sank in deeper. The

261
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,440
most prominent and influential left wing female organization during both

262
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,079
the Republic and the war was the Union des mu

263
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:19,359
Heris Antifascistas or Anti Fascist Women's Union the UMA, created

264
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,960
in nineteen thirty three by the Communist International GASP. This

265
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,759
organization was outlawed in Spain in nineteen thirty four after

266
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:34,200
the October Revolution or the Asturian Revolution Historian Uprising, etc.

267
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:40,680
But it was rebranded as pro Infantia Obrera or Working

268
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:47,000
Mother's Support, an organization which supported leftist militants affected by

269
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,559
or actively involved in the revolt of nineteen thirty four.

270
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,960
After the victory of the left quote unquote side note

271
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,799
stolen victory in nineteen thirty six elections, the PIO was

272
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:06,920
once again renamed the Anti Fascist Women's Union or UMA,

273
00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:11,920
which received enormous support from the government. Again, this is

274
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,920
a communist organ When the Civil War began, the UMA

275
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,359
was officially incorporated into the government as the Commission dee

276
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:27,640
Ouchilio Feminino the Female Aid Commission, an organization directly under

277
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119
the control of the Ministry of War and in charge

278
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,000
of organizing and distributing Spanish women within the war industry.

279
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,319
Speaker 1: When the war.

280
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: Began, the UMA had around fifty thousand members and it

281
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,880
promoted the quote liberation of women through the worker's struggle

282
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:49,359
in order to transform society end quote. This organization saw

283
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,039
a sharp Declineman membership, however, when many women realized that

284
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:58,839
their duties were limited to support and manufacturing. There was

285
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,039
a similar trend among the PCEE and the UGT, who

286
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:06,640
firmly believed that women should only engage in support roles

287
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:12,119
aiding male soldiers. Meanwhile, the Worker's Party of Marxist Unification

288
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:20,920
or POUM, which was or Wells militia, advocated for allowing

289
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,119
women to join the fight on the front as staff

290
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:27,880
and drill sergeants, as well as engaging in logistics and

291
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,359
serving as quartermasters. This firm position on their role in

292
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,200
the war by the communists and socialists is likely the

293
00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:39,799
main reason eighty percent of leftist women flocked to the anarchists,

294
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,400
women who yearned to take the fight to their purported

295
00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:47,559
enemies to be truly equal with men, or perhaps they

296
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:51,920
were attracted by the extremely high wage of ten pisadas

297
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,720
which the anarchists paid the members of their militias. Interesting

298
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,960
and so I note here this is perhaps the most

299
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,519
famous image of Spanish Civil War girl power. Translator and

300
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:11,440
cutie pie Marina guiththena member of the Unified Socialist Youth

301
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:16,039
Org of the Spanish Communist Party an assistant to Mikhail

302
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,359
Koltsov Provda correspondent. Here she poses with a mauser in

303
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,759
Barcelona in July nineteen thirty six.

304
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:31,519
Speaker 1: T He women were sorry, amazing, It's amazing how many

305
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:34,559
women can get taken in by thinking that, like, I mean,

306
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,000
her clothes are brand new.

307
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:42,039
Speaker 2: She never held a rifle again for the rest of

308
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,519
the war. For the record, it was strictly propaganda.

309
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was and it was oh she

310
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,359
she did this, and she did and she was executed

311
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,599
because she was such a she was such a powerful soldier. Okay, yeah, ok.

312
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: She actually ran to France very quickly, but people couldn't

313
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,680
find her until she came forward in like the nineties

314
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:09,119
or something, right before she passed away. So she had

315
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,440
never seen the picture. Interestingly, or she claimed that she

316
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,880
had never seen the picture.

317
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,759
Speaker 1: So hilarious.

318
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 2: Communist propaganda again, Pravda people. Women were also prominent within

319
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,279
the short lived Frente Popular Government of nineteen thirty six,

320
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,640
a government characterized by radical and detrimental left wing policies.

321
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:37,559
Most know of famed communist Dolores Iberruri, who controlled most

322
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,119
left wing parties in the quartes on behalf of the Soviets,

323
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:47,000
while the second most prominent Spanish female leftists was Frederica Monstani,

324
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:51,000
the first female minister in the cabinet of Largo Caballerro.

325
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,319
Her noteworthy achievements as Minister of Healthcare and Social Issues

326
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:59,920
for Barcelona were to decriminalize abortion and to aid those

327
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:04,119
who sought it, as well as to legalize prostitution as

328
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,279
part of it.

329
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just, that's just helping in the war effort.

330
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,079
I mean, come on, it's it's wild. It's just I mean,

331
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:19,079
it's wild. It's just I mean, it's exactly what you

332
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,119
would think. It's I mean, it's another version of every

333
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,880
single time. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

334
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: As part of her campaign to establish libertarian communism, she

335
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,400
pressured the republic to finance brothels, which soon led Barcelona,

336
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,680
the most important city within Republican territory, to become a

337
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,880
den of vice. And then here is the execrable frumpy,

338
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:55,079
disgusting Dolores Ibarori, who shouted to Jose Calvo Sotello the

339
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,599
day he was executed, this is your last speech in

340
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,440
the court tests. Once the civil war began, pardon me.

341
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:10,640
The Frente Popular Government quickly mobilized their organizations and members

342
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,720
against the Nationalist uprising, distributing weapons to the populace, mainly

343
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:20,319
through the labor unions, and incorporating the many leftist militias

344
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:25,160
into their squalid army. The mobilization received overwhelming support from

345
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,759
these organizations, with enormous participation by female combatants. During the

346
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:34,240
summer of nineteen thirty six, the image of the female

347
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:38,799
fighter became a staple in the Republic. These women were

348
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:42,240
motivated to join the fight for an array of stated motives,

349
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,440
leftist ideology, defending the rights they had gained during the Republic,

350
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,640
revenge for a dead relative or friend. Many joined up

351
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,640
with their husbands, boyfriends, and some even with their children.

352
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,480
Most women were initially assigned support duties in the army,

353
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440
but an an immense number saw armed combat in one

354
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,880
way or another. The most surprising trend was the average

355
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,960
age of the female combatants sixteen years old and the

356
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,720
most common lifestyle these women came from, which later caused

357
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,480
both serious and even hilarious problems. So here is a

358
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:28,559
classic example of a CNT militia poster with a female

359
00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:33,279
holding the flag, leading the men who kneel.

360
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,799
Speaker 1: Before her because she's so cool.

361
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: A black and red flag. Yes, a black and red flag.

362
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,720
A squad of simps for every woman, the ultimate dream.

363
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:48,039
The inclusion of women at the front lines was heavily

364
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:52,480
supported by several female figures of the left, Dolores Ibururi

365
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:55,759
the most ardent among them, with others such as the

366
00:27:55,799 --> 00:28:00,640
aforementioned anarchist Federica Monsni calling every every woman of the

367
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:05,880
left to join the fight against fascism. This call was

368
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,799
soon picked up by the Republican government as a powerful

369
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:13,440
propaganda tool to boost their recruitment among the civilian population.

370
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,279
The image of the fighting woman in uniform and armed

371
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:21,519
against the fascist became its main hook for recruitment drives.

372
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,319
In order to push men to fight on the front lines.

373
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,440
In the early months of the Civil war, the republic

374
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:31,960
constantly showed the image of the militia woman, enshrined her

375
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,799
as the quote heroine of the nation unquote, and luted

376
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:40,039
the women who moved with quote unquote manly demeanor to

377
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,599
push men to join their female comrades on the front

378
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,680
and take the fight to the enemy. As we know now,

379
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,960
this is not a winning strategy.

380
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,279
Speaker 1: It's just I'm I got nothing. Yeah.

381
00:28:57,319 --> 00:29:03,519
Speaker 2: So here's an example Catalan flag black and red, anarchist

382
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:08,119
flag and a red communist flag with a woman saying

383
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:16,640
that the basically that the militants need us. The women

384
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,839
who joined the fight initially enjoyed special privileges in combat,

385
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:25,559
in addition to a gleaming reputation and public support. Women

386
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:30,480
were incorporated into the militias without specific orders, but within

387
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:34,400
the first few weeks they gained privileges above their prestige,

388
00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:38,680
such as being quickly promoted or being capable of disregarding

389
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:42,880
orders from their superiors without consequence. By the end of

390
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,279
August nineteen thirty six, there were two female only battalions

391
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:51,079
within the Republic. Can you imagine, one in Mallorca and

392
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:55,640
the other in Asturias. Despite their prestige and the initial

393
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,920
ease of duty, the first cracks in this illusion began

394
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,119
to appear, both on the front lines and in the rear.

395
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,200
Many women filled the vacuum left by men joining the war.

396
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,960
By men joining the war to work in steel mills, foundries,

397
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,440
and the many factories whose workers were now in the

398
00:30:15,559 --> 00:30:19,640
army are militias. The sudden influx of women in these

399
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,400
activities caused a clash between them and the men who

400
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,279
stayed in the rear, who often saw them as unfit

401
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:29,000
or unqualified to perform those jobs, as well as an

402
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:33,119
invasion of the workplace in fields which until then had

403
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,920
been only performed by men, and the women demanded the

404
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,079
same wages and better working conditions. Keep in mind, this

405
00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:49,160
is a very militarized labor universe, so these are very

406
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,839
assertive people. If you've ever worked in a union shop

407
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,359
and you've seen scabs come in, this is exactly what

408
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,559
is taking place here.

409
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: That's the perception.

410
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: Shit. So despite their alleged ideological affinities, the men and

411
00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:09,359
women at the factories began to bout heads, with the

412
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,119
men defending their territory which for so long had been

413
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,720
theirs alone, and the women bringing a battering ram to

414
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:23,119
attempt to demolish barriers to entry the most Sorry, go ahead,

415
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,559
there's a war going on. Let's turn it into a

416
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,799
labor issue. Well, I mean yeah, exactly. And and if

417
00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:38,400
we see this now, where like leftist labor unions are

418
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:45,880
you know, pushing diversity in which breaks up cohesion and

419
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:51,119
allows for you know, cuts in wages and everything like that.

420
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,319
And it's just this this conflict that just has no

421
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,799
choice but to explode right there on the surface. And

422
00:31:59,839 --> 00:32:03,400
like he said, there's a war going on, so imagine this.

423
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,000
The most striking and extreme problems between men and women

424
00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:14,119
happened on the front lines. Initially, the gleaming reputation of

425
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:19,680
the militia women held, but the propaganda primarily attracted more

426
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,599
women than men, and the women were as concerned with

427
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,200
breaking the old and tested gender roles as they were

428
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:27,480
with joining the fight.

429
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:28,359
Speaker 1: What a surprise.

430
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,599
Speaker 2: Several women became legendary Republican war heroes, such as Lena

431
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,279
Odena casil Da Mendez and Margharita Perez. But a radical

432
00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:43,519
paradigm shift began in October of nineteen thirty six, barely

433
00:32:43,599 --> 00:32:47,880
three months into the Civil War, when radical socialist Francisco

434
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:51,960
Largo Caballero became head of the government and sought to

435
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:55,960
directly manage the war. His approach to the war was

436
00:32:56,039 --> 00:33:02,279
not ideological, but very pragmatic surrounded himself with career officers

437
00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:07,400
and generals who strengthened the position of professional military officers

438
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,079
in the field. This was the beginning of the end

439
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,079
for the militia women, as at the time, a number

440
00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:16,319
of glaring problems with women on the front lines arose,

441
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,599
which ultimately led to the Largo Caballero government barring them

442
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:26,440
completely from combat roles. The greatest challenge was that many

443
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:31,519
men saw the militia women as unfit, unprepared, and unqualified

444
00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:36,720
as combatants, particularly the Republican officer corps who had been

445
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:41,200
military professionals before the Civil War broke out. This created

446
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,880
a wide rift between the military command and ideologically driven

447
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,279
militia members who sided with their female peers. A second

448
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:57,279
issue stem from the reputation militia women developed, as many

449
00:33:57,319 --> 00:33:59,960
of them were held in higher esteem among the militia

450
00:34:00,759 --> 00:34:04,839
than the professional officers, and thus the militias followed their

451
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,800
orders rather than those of their superiors. Oh yeah, what

452
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,840
a surprise. This led many units to clash directly with

453
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,480
their officers and sometimes even murder their superiors, which led

454
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:22,880
some career officers who had remained loyal to the Republic

455
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,159
to defect to the nationalists rather than lead troops who

456
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,440
might kill them over a disagreement. And I think it's

457
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,320
also like they've realized what was going on. This trend,

458
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,159
on top of how unprepared the average militia member was

459
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,880
for actual combat, whether a man or a woman, led

460
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,679
to an extreme combat ineffectiveness in the early months of

461
00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:55,679
the year, only mitigated by their sheer numbers. So here

462
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,280
is a Catalan propaganda poster after the pivot to reality.

463
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:07,559
No more girl power, it's anti fascist women, get sewing

464
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,079
and taken care of sick kids and or wounded soldiers.

465
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,519
Speaker 1: Maybe get to those brothels and make yourself useful.

466
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,119
Speaker 2: That will pop up again here in just a moment.

467
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,599
As a matter of fact, ultimately, these issues and the

468
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:31,599
lack of manpower in critical industry and support roles ended

469
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:35,639
the fantasy of plucky militia women fighting both the nationalists

470
00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:40,800
and gender norms. As noted previously, this is so funny

471
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,960
that I just can't help but laugh while I'm reading it.

472
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,800
As noted previously, many women supported the war effort on

473
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,559
the factory production lines, but not enough, and without properly

474
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:58,079
functioning factories, the republic would run dry. Of weapons, munitions, supplies,

475
00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:02,320
and food. Very quickly, understanding the severity of this problem,

476
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:05,840
Largo Cabeiro gave the order to withdraw all women from

477
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,639
the front lines and that they be assigned to work

478
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:11,639
in support roles at hospitals.

479
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: And field kitchens.

480
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: This decision was accepted by all of the parties political

481
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,480
parties which supported the Republic, and was spun to appease

482
00:36:21,519 --> 00:36:24,559
women so that they didn't feel they'd abandoned the front.

483
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:30,960
Dolores Iberui spoke of women as quote motherly heroes unquote,

484
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,519
and hoped they would mobilize to the factories and hospitals

485
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,000
to fight there for a better future for their husbands

486
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:43,079
and children. Even anarchists organizations, those who had promoted putting

487
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:46,159
women on the front lines the most, began to speak

488
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:51,519
about the quote unquote true femininity of women, possessed of

489
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:56,360
a quote delicate softness unique to female psychology unquote, and

490
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,840
that they should oppose violence in every way and support

491
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:05,920
them soldiers with quote unquote motherly care. This radical shift

492
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,800
was seen as a terrible betrayal by countless women, particularly

493
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,639
the anarchists, who remained outspoken about their quote unquote rights

494
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:18,559
to be in the front to be on the front

495
00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:23,280
alongside their male peers. Despite the Republic's orders, or perhaps

496
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,800
because of them, the anarchists refused to withdraw women from

497
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,679
the front lines. I should say some did, which caused

498
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,440
big problems.

499
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:38,119
Speaker 1: Who would think that, like anarchists would be against taking orders?

500
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:46,519
Imagine being led? That's I'm shocked. It's delightful.

501
00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: The anarchist versus republic struggles are the funniest imaginable because

502
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:04,679
of the sheer volume of dead anarchists who resulted. All right,

503
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,360
the final, lesser known reasons for the withdrawal of women

504
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,199
from the front lines are definitely the most interesting and

505
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,480
perhaps hilarious. As explained previously, a certain type of women

506
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,079
joined the anarchist militias in droves shortly after the war

507
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:26,119
broke out, women from a particular and not very wholesome

508
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:31,880
way of life, A plurality of leftist female recruits. Around

509
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,719
forty five percent of the women who joined the fight

510
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:42,119
were prostitutes. This was narrated by the aforementioned Clara Compoamore

511
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:49,039
in her book La revolocion Espanola vistapor Una Republicana Spanish

512
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:54,440
Revolution witnessed by a Republican women she wrote in the beginning,

513
00:38:55,079 --> 00:38:58,800
more dire events took place. Ready to take advantage of

514
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,000
this situation, all women of quote unquote joyful life, yes,

515
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:13,800
which was heavily promoted by these feminist heroes. And my

516
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,920
theory is like, if you look at the sows that

517
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,679
promote the stuff, they're just like imagining like men coming

518
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:26,519
to them and which just would not happen because they're gross.

519
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,119
Oh sorry, sorry for the diversion. Okay, joyful life, whom

520
00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:35,639
war doomed to a life of unemployment, disappeared from the

521
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:38,719
cities and joined along many others who fought in the

522
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,760
militia with respectable feelings and sincere faith. I can imagine

523
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,840
as a consequence the frenzy which took hold of the

524
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,400
front lines and how many soldiers had to be hospitalized.

525
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,079
This revelation became the main weapon to destroy the reputation

526
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:01,559
of the women fighting with the militias, as the politicians

527
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:05,559
soon had no qualms about saying that they were prostitutes

528
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,039
and made public the fact that on certain fronts, men

529
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:12,079
were sent to the sick bay more often for STDs

530
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:13,679
than being shot.

531
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: Who could have no one could have predicted this at all, right, most.

532
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: Of the women who joined the military were outraged by

533
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,199
this campaign that sought to shame them in the eyes

534
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:32,719
of the public, with the most vocal declaring at calumny

535
00:40:33,199 --> 00:40:38,920
from the quote horrific patriarchal leadership unquote of the Republic.

536
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,760
Some politicians who participated in the campaign to drive compliance

537
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,840
with the Republic's orders openly addressed the fact that certain

538
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,800
camps on the front lines had become little more than

539
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,400
whorehouses for soldiers. The most prominent it was the psychologist

540
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,719
and politician Felix Martis Ibanez, who made great guitars and

541
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,559
who claimed that most of the women in the militia

542
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,519
used their time on the front lines to quote mercantilize

543
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:18,039
their bodies unquote, violating.

544
00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Male chastity.

545
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:29,039
Speaker 2: For their own gain and and quote robbing men of

546
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,559
their magnificent energy reserves.

547
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like something literally out of

548
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,679
if you were doing like parody.

549
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: In cell oh my god like literature. And and it's

550
00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:50,599
because it's it's it's Bolshevik, it's Bolshevik talking points. And

551
00:41:50,639 --> 00:41:57,360
this is that it's not detailed here, it's heavily detailed

552
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,480
in everything about this period and the pivot from that

553
00:42:01,639 --> 00:42:08,159
kind of free for all, like purist dream state is,

554
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:13,079
you know, socialist, communist anarchist propaganda push at the very beginning,

555
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:15,920
and then they had to pivot to actually focus on

556
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,519
the war. And the way to focus on the war

557
00:42:18,679 --> 00:42:24,159
is to be serious and to follow military leadership, which

558
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:29,599
rolled everyone under. The communists and the Catalonia and the

559
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:34,440
anarchists didn't bend the knee until like mid nineteen thirty seven,

560
00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:38,199
which is where you get like orwell talking about being

561
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:43,159
hunted by the NKVD in Barcelona as they were cracking

562
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,039
down on these militias that were resisting, and even the

563
00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:53,159
CNT leadership that the anarchist the biggest anarchist party leadership

564
00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:56,320
bent the knee, their most fervent killers, and like the

565
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:02,920
Drudi column were pushing for this as well, like get serious,

566
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,599
stop being ideological until the.

567
00:43:05,559 --> 00:43:07,639
Speaker 1: War is won and then we can settle it that.

568
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,960
You know, by this time in Russia, Stalin had taken

569
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,079
care of most of the people who were talking like this,

570
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:25,119
you know, like who were doing the the oh women's

571
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,320
lib kind of stuff. You know, all this crap right here. Oh,

572
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,320
Stalin was just pretty much just making sure that they

573
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,480
disappeared and It is actually one of the things that

574
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:40,039
Trotsky's son complained about the most. Trotsky's son had bought

575
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:42,880
into all this, and it's like, keep your head down, dude,

576
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,320
because you saw what happened to You're dead right. What

577
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,400
was name? Oh I forget Leon set Off. Yeah, that's right.

578
00:43:52,559 --> 00:43:54,199
I had a look at ubly On set Off. Yeah,

579
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:58,400
it's like he was he was be doing that in

580
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,119
the thirties. No, that Stalin was already like okay, if

581
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:06,519
you start coming up, no, no, that's why. I can

582
00:44:06,639 --> 00:44:09,239
just imagine what the what the Soviet advisors were thinking

583
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,199
when they were seeing all of this.

584
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,159
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, it's probably something they'd seen a million times,

585
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:17,920
but it's.

586
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:23,039
Speaker 1: So I mean, it was it was disappearing quickly in Russia.

587
00:44:23,079 --> 00:44:27,159
I mean, Russia was already going on to their their

588
00:44:27,199 --> 00:44:32,440
empire footing at that point. So they were everybody's like, oh,

589
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,840
the purges and everything. You know, when once you read

590
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,119
Suvarof and Hoffmann, you realize the purges were getting rid

591
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:40,880
of the revolutionaries. They just wanted soldiers. They wanted like,

592
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:45,800
you know, generals who weren't revolutionaries, generals who you know,

593
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,639
could go into battle, and these revolutionaries who were just

594
00:44:48,679 --> 00:44:52,800
lining people up and killing them. Well, they sort of

595
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,519
got their just recompense in many cases at that point.

596
00:44:58,599 --> 00:44:59,960
It's why it's wild stuff.

597
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:06,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, with this war became again a task only

598
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:08,719
for men, and women were sent back to the rear.

599
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,760
Disobedience was treated with all martial severity, and by the

600
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,800
middle of October the presence of women on the front

601
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,519
lines began to steadily decline. By December nineteen thirty six,

602
00:45:21,679 --> 00:45:26,360
the international volunteers of the International Brigades were warned that

603
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,000
women were barred from combat and from joining the brigades.

604
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,960
By February nineteen thirty seven, women disappeared from the Republican Army.

605
00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:39,599
Speaker 1: Many joined the Let's hold up here for a second.

606
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,320
So basically, about three months into the war, Cabaetro starts

607
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,760
to phase say, we need to get women off the

608
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,920
front line. Those first three months, the first six months really,

609
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,760
but the first three months we're talking about the most

610
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,639
brutal time, especially especially if you were a Catholic, especially

611
00:45:59,679 --> 00:46:02,920
if you were clergy or a seminarian or a layman

612
00:46:03,519 --> 00:46:05,719
or something like that. So you know, you have to

613
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,719
I would assume that the women had a big part.

614
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,639
That was a big part.

615
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 2: Of one hundred percent. It has to be because it

616
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,719
was the most extreme militants. And when you look at

617
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:28,480
those pictures of destruction of churches and statues and like,

618
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,280
you know where they're basically going in and killing everybody,

619
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,159
women are female militants are very prominent in those in

620
00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:38,920
those images.

621
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: It's wild. Many joined.

622
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,519
Speaker 2: Many women joined the production lines in Barcelona and Valencia,

623
00:46:50,119 --> 00:46:53,960
an event which would later cause many calls for equality

624
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,960
in the workplace, since they, despite the progressiveness of the Republic,

625
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,679
suffered wage discrimination as well as hostility from their male peers.

626
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:08,440
They also demanded permanent contracts and anticipation of the end

627
00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:10,519
of the war and the return of men to the

628
00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:14,199
factories so that they couldn't be fired or replaced.

629
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? I mean, you know, Rosie the Rivet,

630
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,119
I don't. I wonder how many Rosies wanted to actually

631
00:47:24,159 --> 00:47:27,320
stay and keep their jobs because it was, you know,

632
00:47:28,119 --> 00:47:30,079
at the end of the war, it was like, yeah,

633
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:30,639
go home.

634
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 2: And how much of that was like yeah, exactly how

635
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,119
much of it was real and how much of it

636
00:47:36,199 --> 00:47:40,119
was like one loud mouth, yeah, was just making the

637
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:43,599
demands and you know, women being women, all going in

638
00:47:44,119 --> 00:47:50,320
and supporting it. Yeah, good times. So wrapping up here

639
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,519
we got two more paragraphs. Note the stark difference between

640
00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:58,000
the women of the right and the left. By taking

641
00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:01,440
up critical support and administration of duties that men did

642
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,119
not occupy, nationalist women made the army and the liberated

643
00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:11,280
regions work like a well oiled machine. Meanwhile, the women

644
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:16,199
on the left, in their pursuit of personal and ideological goals,

645
00:48:16,199 --> 00:48:20,079
often became a hindrance, which caused problems for the Republican

646
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:25,440
war effort. When every person counts, those who antiagonize their

647
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:30,199
peers disrupt harmony and everyone's contributions to the struggle. This

648
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:34,360
is clearly prevalent among leftist women, both one hundred years

649
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,840
ago and today. We know them on site, the women

650
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,639
who don't seek to work alongside men, but instead to

651
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,239
cast them down, confident in their superiority. You know the type,

652
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,880
and you know they must be avoided. Like a nugget

653
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,119
of pyrite. It is not worth a second look. So

654
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,079
Fool's gold. I began the Now and Then series in

655
00:48:55,159 --> 00:48:57,800
reaction to the murder of Charlie Kirk as I'd seen

656
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,679
parallels to the assassination of calv Sotello brought up quite

657
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,599
a few times, and I wanted to provide lesser known

658
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:08,039
details regarding the murder and its aftermath. The more I

659
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:13,000
revisit Spanish primary sources regarding the Civil War, I decided

660
00:49:13,039 --> 00:49:16,840
to continue researching and sharing my findings with those interested.

661
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,599
One thing is certain, despite how much time has passed,

662
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,760
how many well documented mistakes were made by the left

663
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,800
in the intervening period, and how things in our world

664
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,199
seem to have changed, the left are still the same.

665
00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:33,559
With the branding of Antifa as a terrorist organization in

666
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:36,360
the US and the reaction to the murder of Kirk,

667
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,719
both in the intermediate after math and now immediate after

668
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,960
math and now rather we see ardent leftists openly mock

669
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:46,840
as murder leftists who carry the same spirit found in

670
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,280
the speeches of leftist figures of the Republic. The left

671
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,320
of today carries the same bloodthirsty spirit seen since the

672
00:49:55,360 --> 00:50:00,159
beginning of the twentieth century. I was nearly surprised by

673
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,320
how the adage quote the more things change, the more

674
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,559
they stay the same unquote still rings true. With this

675
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,079
in mind, I will be writing a couple more articles

676
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:12,920
about the most important leftist figures of the Spanish Republic,

677
00:50:13,039 --> 00:50:16,039
so that you can understand their motives, their drives, and

678
00:50:16,119 --> 00:50:21,159
most importantly, their character, because to invoke another adage, you

679
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,599
must know your enemy.

680
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:30,559
Speaker 1: To defeat him. Elphine, it is you know, I want

681
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:33,360
to go back up to this part right here, there's

682
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:37,400
clearly prevalent. This is cooer plevalent amongst leftists women both

683
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,880
one hundred years ago and today. We know them on site,

684
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,400
women who don't seek to work alongside men, but instead

685
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:48,440
to cast out how many times in quote unquote, I

686
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:53,119
mean in like the right circles, even like yeah, right circles.

687
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Do these women come in all based, all say in

688
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:03,679
the right things. But eventually, you know what happens, Eventually

689
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:09,000
the feminism comes out, Eventually the leftism comes out, Eventually

690
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:16,159
the woman comes out. I mean, sorry, women should not

691
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,679
be in leadership? Is I look at what look at

692
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,079
Nikki Haley and all these women on the right, Nancy

693
00:51:25,159 --> 00:51:31,320
Mace Well, I mean, in what world do you look

694
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,639
at those women and go, yeah, I want them to lead?

695
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,840
Is there a woman you could think of that you're like, yeah,

696
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,360
they should be leading men? Oh?

697
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely not, Like it's it's completely absurd because it's all

698
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,440
about them, and then the most important you know, especially

699
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:59,480
among conservatids, the most important thing is conserving like ridiculous

700
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:03,760
Left is victories. Like Nancy Mace. Her claim to fame

701
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,119
is that she was the first female allowed into vm A.

702
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,079
Her father was the commandant and she basically like ruined

703
00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:14,239
that organization because it just was.

704
00:52:14,199 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: All about her.

705
00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: And every picture that she puts up is a you know,

706
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:25,159
basically a thirst trap from someone who doesn't like instill

707
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,119
thirst except among like boomers who watch Fox News. But

708
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,199
it's it's insane and it's all about them and not

709
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,079
about the mission.

710
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, when you when you understand

711
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,000
where we are. Yeah, we were talking about this, Yeah,

712
00:52:46,039 --> 00:52:50,440
I mentioned this before we before we started recording. That

713
00:52:51,039 --> 00:52:54,159
as we were starting to record, or In was live

714
00:52:54,199 --> 00:53:00,280
streaming and he was just on fire, just going up.

715
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,079
Does not want to win. They were always our enemies.

716
00:53:03,679 --> 00:53:07,880
They would rather talk about group chats than win elections.

717
00:53:09,159 --> 00:53:11,880
Why are you dealing with these people anymore? You know?

718
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,119
They they sure you're not going to win in New York,

719
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,599
but at least you in New York City, but at

720
00:53:18,679 --> 00:53:20,960
least have somebody who can put a message out there

721
00:53:21,039 --> 00:53:24,480
that would you know, that's a counter to it instead

722
00:53:24,519 --> 00:53:27,199
of I mean Curtis Sliwa. I remember seeing this guy

723
00:53:27,199 --> 00:53:28,960
on the subway when I was growing up. I mean,

724
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,360
he was just grifter. They used to fake events where

725
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:34,639
he'd be like, oh, look what we did, and it

726
00:53:34,679 --> 00:53:38,719
would just fake events that he would save people from.

727
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,480
And then Chris Cuomo, or is it yeah, Chris Cuomo,

728
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,639
I mean just I mean a degenerate loser. And or

729
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,360
what about Virginia. You have basically a ci age and

730
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,880
who's running and you put up a woman, a black

731
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,840
woman who was born was born in another country. I think,

732
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,360
I'm not really sure, but she's I mean she's not

733
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,199
She's not on the right. I mean some of them

734
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:09,000
at least fake being on the right. She's not on

735
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:13,639
the right. And then you you aren't able to counter

736
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:20,679
anyone for the age in Virginia who basically says, yeah,

737
00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:24,599
I mean I will shoot white I will shoot white children.

738
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,400
I will kill white children because that's what we do.

739
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,119
And you you want to be taken, but you want

740
00:54:34,199 --> 00:54:36,679
to talk about Tucker who Tucker Carlson has on his

741
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,599
show and make a big deal out of that, and

742
00:54:39,639 --> 00:54:43,760
then you want to cancel the heritage Foundation, which I mean,

743
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,239
come on, when the last when the last boomer stops

744
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,599
sending the money, no one else is going to So

745
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:51,880
basically at this point, at this point, they're just looting

746
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:55,239
boomers because they know they're gone as soon as the

747
00:54:55,320 --> 00:55:00,800
last boomer is gone. And who else you know, who else? Oh,

748
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:05,480
you know obviously the Jewish lobby who is I mean

749
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:11,119
just absolutely lost their minds. Absolutely, I mean nothing they

750
00:55:11,159 --> 00:55:17,280
say makes any sense whatsoever. They clearly say that, yeah,

751
00:55:17,519 --> 00:55:19,000
if you want to be an American, you have to

752
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,159
support Israel. If you don't support Israel, you're not an American.

753
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,320
Who the fun are you? Yeah?

754
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,079
Speaker 2: And like, speaking of the Heritage Foundation today, someone you know,

755
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:37,880
some I don't know, some galician lawyer type was ranting

756
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:43,960
and raving because they leaked audio of a call where

757
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:51,800
a Catholic staffer at the Heritage Foundation said, basically, it's

758
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,559
ridiculous to force to compel us to go to these

759
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:02,119
like sader Dinners, which is, oh, yeah, there's a religious

760
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,760
what religious Jewish religious practice?

761
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was some Jewish some Jewish group like

762
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:11,360
was laying out for Heritage how they could weed out

763
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,920
all the anti Semites by setting up like a like

764
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,719
a Chabbat dinner every week and see who comes to it. Yeah, yeah,

765
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,440
it doesn't come to it. You get rid of them,

766
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,960
are you? What are you fucking kidding me?

767
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: Which is just like okay, so you're literally just telling

768
00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:32,719
us that you like, we control everything, or you're not

769
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:33,760
allowed to exist.

770
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,519
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, if if they if they

771
00:56:38,519 --> 00:56:42,039
are not bow if you if they're not bowing to Jews,

772
00:56:42,679 --> 00:56:47,079
then they're they're not right wing. Basically they're not conservative, Okay.

773
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,000
I mean I would say that if you're bowing to Jews,

774
00:56:51,039 --> 00:56:54,360
you're probably that's probably the most conservative value you can

775
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,719
have now, because that's all they seem to do and

776
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:58,519
have been doing.

777
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: That's why they exist, and that's that they're like, these

778
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,440
are all people who are anti Trump and people the

779
00:57:08,519 --> 00:57:13,800
vast majority of people who supported Trump in his third

780
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:21,400
successful election are people who aren't Trump cultists. They're people

781
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,440
who want the things that he promised. They want America first,

782
00:57:27,159 --> 00:57:31,239
they want to make America great again, et cetera. And

783
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,119
these people are refusing to go along with it, and

784
00:57:36,159 --> 00:57:44,079
they're already gloating, they're celebrating, they're focusing on like basically

785
00:57:45,039 --> 00:57:50,159
crashing and burning that ascended movement to steer us back

786
00:57:50,239 --> 00:57:56,159
to losing conservati artism, which has no appeal to anyone,

787
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,639
Like who's going to be alive in ten years? Like,

788
00:58:00,679 --> 00:58:06,360
there's no appeal to that. It's it's a joke, you know,

789
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,880
other than like two percent of the population, Only two

790
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,360
percent of the population wants it, a very specific two

791
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:13,440
percent of the population.

792
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: Anybody who's working at one of these, you know, basically

793
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:23,400
Shavaskoy organizations, they have to really if they don't realize

794
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,679
that their days are just numbered because they're not gens.

795
00:58:27,719 --> 00:58:30,719
Who's who's going to support them? Gen Z, gen X,

796
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:36,159
gen X, I mean millennials maybe probably not gen Z

797
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,400
is not going to do it. They already fucked themselves,

798
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,400
how much think about it. They're they're relying upon money

799
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,360
from the Boomer generation. Which other generation has as much

800
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:48,519
money as the Boomer generation.

801
00:58:50,599 --> 00:58:54,199
Speaker 2: None, not even the rest combined don't even have a fraction.

802
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:59,519
Speaker 1: They're fucked. They're fucked there there, They are irrelevant at

803
00:58:59,519 --> 00:59:02,000
this point, and they just don't know it. They're dead

804
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:05,960
man walking and they don't know it. They don't have anything.

805
00:59:06,199 --> 00:59:10,199
The only thing that they could do is to embrace us,

806
00:59:10,639 --> 00:59:13,599
is would be like, Okay, we see where this is going.

807
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:16,880
I mean, basically where we're going is we're going to

808
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:24,719
far right and far left. Yes, and let's bring this

809
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,239
back home, which is why we're talking about the Spanish

810
00:59:27,239 --> 00:59:28,480
Civil War ing ding.

811
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: In nineteen I posted about this today in nineteen thirty four.

812
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:44,039
The pyrrhic victory, the piric electoral victory of nineteen thirty

813
00:59:44,039 --> 00:59:48,440
four by the right. The right coalition under say the

814
00:59:49,519 --> 00:59:58,280
and some other parties did nothing for the right. The

815
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:04,440
Republic illegally would not permit them to form a cabinet

816
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,480
and take charge of the government in the fashion that

817
01:00:08,719 --> 01:00:15,119
was in you know, specified by the constitution. And so

818
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:22,760
with that, the younger members of this political coalition, this

819
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:27,599
right wing political coalition, left in droves for the most

820
01:00:27,639 --> 01:00:36,079
militant organizations, the Falonghey and the Carlist Recutees, and basically

821
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:38,800
said the only thing left to do now.

822
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: Is to fight.

823
01:00:40,599 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: That's where all the best people and the best young

824
01:00:43,039 --> 01:00:47,280
leaders went. They went right into the fight and began

825
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:53,440
preparing seriously for a post political world, a world outside

826
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:59,039
of like the Cortes and the drama and the maschinations

827
01:00:59,079 --> 01:01:07,559
of the you know, parliamentary government and this in America.

828
01:01:07,679 --> 01:01:12,079
It's even worse because in Spain at the time, the

829
01:01:12,199 --> 01:01:16,880
right wing was actually like the right wing leadership and

830
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:22,519
money people you know, in these groups began to build

831
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:25,639
up these groups because they realized that war was coming,

832
01:01:26,239 --> 01:01:28,000
that that was the only thing that was left because

833
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,880
there was so much violence in the street in America.

834
01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:35,039
Like look at like Mike Johnson and other dorks like that,

835
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,559
like they should have no political power. The only reason

836
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,679
Mike Johnson has any political power is because of people

837
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:50,960
voting for Donald Trump because they want nationalism, and they're saying,

838
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:54,199
you're not going to get nationalism. You're going to get

839
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,679
sold down the river. You're gonna be unemployable. You're gonna

840
01:02:00,199 --> 01:02:03,320
all this money for having gone to college. You should

841
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,000
have just been a plumber. While the left builds up

842
01:02:07,079 --> 01:02:12,519
their supporters, gets them jobs, gets them free money. Like

843
01:02:12,599 --> 01:02:15,079
the right basically says, you have to support us for

844
01:02:15,159 --> 01:02:19,440
ideological reasons. Oh and by the way, those ideological reasons

845
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,480
are that are you know, lead to you getting fucked,

846
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:31,239
But you got to do it because Israel. Yeah, otherwise

847
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,800
you're hitler. You know when people were when when Aorn

848
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:43,119
was talking yesterday about what fuent has was what he

849
01:02:43,159 --> 01:02:48,519
actually was, what he is. Many people who refuse to

850
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:53,639
understand nuance were flipping out. You have gropers who are

851
01:02:53,679 --> 01:02:56,559
flipping out, But gropers don't really care about anything. They

852
01:02:56,639 --> 01:02:59,719
just worship Nick fuent has. You have people on the

853
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,519
right who I think mean well most of the time,

854
01:03:05,559 --> 01:03:09,719
who like spicy things that Fuentes says about certain things,

855
01:03:09,719 --> 01:03:12,559
and they seem as very popular, so they don't want

856
01:03:12,599 --> 01:03:18,760
to talk against him. But Fuentes is an entertainer, That's

857
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:19,400
what he is.

858
01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:20,199
Speaker 1: He's not.

859
01:03:21,719 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 2: You know, he's all over the place, and he's not

860
01:03:28,239 --> 01:03:31,480
like the way I look at it is. The Tucker

861
01:03:32,039 --> 01:03:38,719
interview with him was a paternalistic show of like care

862
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,880
where Tucker brought him on and basically said, I'll let

863
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,119
you talk, but I'm going to point out things that

864
01:03:47,199 --> 01:03:48,119
I take issue with.

865
01:03:49,119 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: But he did.

866
01:03:49,639 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 2: It in a way where you know that he actually cares.

867
01:03:54,119 --> 01:03:59,199
He doesn't want to slander him, He doesn't want to

868
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,960
attack him or his viewers or the people who listen

869
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:08,320
to him. Like most most people who have a like

870
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:14,039
a completely positive view of Nick Fuentes don't know a

871
01:04:14,039 --> 01:04:17,360
lot of his history, or they only see little clips

872
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,840
of him here and there, and they're mostly concerned with

873
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:25,119
like Israel and stuff like that, or they're just like

874
01:04:25,599 --> 01:04:29,039
Fuentes worshiping croupers right like.

875
01:04:30,679 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: That.

876
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,719
Speaker 2: There's very little in between. Other people have nuanced views

877
01:04:34,719 --> 01:04:37,920
on him, and so when Aurn's talking about you have

878
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:39,079
to understand what he is.

879
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: You know.

880
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 2: The biggest reaction I saw against that wasn't from groupers

881
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,400
or even you know, like people who have a nuanced

882
01:04:48,599 --> 01:04:51,480
or even distracted view of what he is. It was

883
01:04:51,519 --> 01:04:55,679
from these you know, Jewish supremacists who are freaking out

884
01:04:55,719 --> 01:04:57,559
because they're like, no, you have to call him a

885
01:04:57,639 --> 01:05:02,400
Nazi and like, you know, push him out and expel

886
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,480
him from what you're doing. And it's like he's what

887
01:05:05,599 --> 01:05:10,360
he's doing is he's intelligently explaining, like what is taking

888
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,880
place in front of us, and you can't do that.

889
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,440
That's not allowed. You have to be a retard. You

890
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,239
have to just like obey, you have to fall on

891
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:22,119
your hands and knees and obey. It's really quite incredible.

892
01:05:24,239 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: What scares them the most is the fact that there

893
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,960
are already so many of the young staffers and everything

894
01:05:32,239 --> 01:05:36,599
or agree with him. Oh yeah, are basically groper's and

895
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,199
you know, what he was saying on his show yesterday

896
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:46,679
was look, start hiding, hide your power levels, get offline,

897
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,559
you know, do what you gotta do, get in government,

898
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,599
and just you know, subvert these people. Yeah, yeah, you know,

899
01:05:54,719 --> 01:05:59,039
and once they you know, these people just do not

900
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:07,119
understand that they their days are numbered. Not and not

901
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:14,159
because not for any nefarious reason. It's because they're an

902
01:06:14,199 --> 01:06:18,719
aron They're an anachronism. Yes, yeah, they just this isn't

903
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,440
their world anymore. And nobody can. You know, most people

904
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:27,800
look at the average person looks at Israel and sees

905
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,320
what they've been doing for the last few years, and

906
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,840
they're like, don't we fight a war. It wasn't there

907
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,920
like this huge war to stop stuff like this from happening, now,

908
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,960
you know. I mean I'm not really one of a

909
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:42,360
big fan of oh, you know, I'm not a fan

910
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,840
at all of Oh they're they're like Nazis and everything

911
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,119
like that, but they are no nationalists and they they

912
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,440
basically they're like, Okay, well, you know, we have this

913
01:06:51,639 --> 01:06:54,719
group of people here that we, you know, are beneath us,

914
01:06:55,320 --> 01:07:00,360
and we're going to kill them and I mean for

915
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:05,840
what other for what reason? Because they were there, their

916
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,440
families were on the land there for forever. You have

917
01:07:09,519 --> 01:07:14,039
some kind of ethnic grievance because of what I mean,

918
01:07:14,079 --> 01:07:16,920
I just don't get it. All I know is is

919
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:27,679
that I don't they their days are numbered. Oh yeah,

920
01:07:27,719 --> 01:07:30,159
and for no other reason. And I'm not saying, you know,

921
01:07:30,199 --> 01:07:32,639
it's like because oh they're about to be overthrown. It's

922
01:07:32,639 --> 01:07:37,079
because they're gonna they're gonna be crushed under their own weight.

923
01:07:37,719 --> 01:07:41,239
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a few. Yeah, it has nothing to do

924
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,159
It has nothing to do with this. They always say.

925
01:07:45,039 --> 01:07:50,079
The most vocal retards among them will say that, like

926
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,800
anti Semitism is inherent to the European genome.

927
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,119
Speaker 1: And it's like, what.

928
01:07:57,719 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 2: That's that's totally untrue. That's completely untrue. The opposite, the

929
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:06,320
opposite is true. You get you get too many chances,

930
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:11,320
and you hate us, like based on their behavior, like

931
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,920
all they had to do, they could have milked this forever,

932
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,399
but instead they had to crush to crush us in

933
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:24,880
America and like attempt to dispossess us and then gloat

934
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,880
about it and say, we just got you to fight,

935
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:34,560
you know, two decades for our purposes. Uh, And you

936
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,000
have to do that forever. You're not allowed to say no,

937
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:42,960
not that has nothing to do with you know, our

938
01:08:43,239 --> 01:08:47,680
people's response to that isn't inherent. It's a response to

939
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:52,079
the conditions that you're imposing upon them. It's hilarious.

940
01:08:53,239 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, when you I was saying this,

941
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:00,359
Doctor Johnson and I recorded episode eighty five of Two

942
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:03,239
hundred Years together about you know, like three hours ago,

943
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:12,159
and we were talking about how like the Russians were like, Okay,

944
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,000
we've been pushed off our land and now Jews have

945
01:09:15,119 --> 01:09:20,279
moved in mm hmm. And the question is is where's

946
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,119
where's all this anti semitism coming from in the nineteen

947
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:27,039
twenties And they're answering the question. He's answering the question

948
01:09:27,079 --> 01:09:30,319
in the text and he's using he's using Jewish sources

949
01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:33,840
to answer that. Yes, answer the question. And it's like, well,

950
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,399
how is it any different now you're give him billions

951
01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:40,199
and billions and billions, and you're financing a war and

952
01:09:40,239 --> 01:09:45,079
you're dropping bombs for Israel when people here can't afford

953
01:09:45,119 --> 01:09:49,520
a house. Yes, I mean where people just people need

954
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:53,079
help here where you have you know, some people are

955
01:09:53,079 --> 01:09:56,800
losing their jobs because Ai. You know, I've talked to

956
01:09:57,159 --> 01:10:00,279
coder's contact me all the time and they're like, I'm like,

957
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,079
I'll try, I'll try, you know, try to help all

958
01:10:03,079 --> 01:10:05,800
I can and everything. But everyone's like, well, I mean

959
01:10:06,239 --> 01:10:08,600
what takes them a day to do? I can do it,

960
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,800
you know in five minutes. Well, you know with a

961
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,239
twenty dollars a twenty dollars a month scription subscription yep.

962
01:10:14,359 --> 01:10:20,960
So it's like and then you you demand our loyalty. Yeah,

963
01:10:21,039 --> 01:10:24,520
come here back. I mean, you tell us, you tell us, Oh,

964
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,760
those who bless Israel will be where the fuck are

965
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:33,560
the blessings? Man? So they've been bowing down to you

966
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,479
since since nineteen forty eight, really nineteen sixty seven, on

967
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,560
call it nineteen seventy three. We've been bowing down to you,

968
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,439
bending over backwards, doing everything's possible that you.

969
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 2: Ask, did America get to the when did the less start?

970
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:54,039
Speaker 1: Are we just not filo semitic enough? We need to

971
01:10:54,039 --> 01:10:56,840
be more filo semitic? Then the blessings will start the.

972
01:10:56,840 --> 01:11:02,079
Speaker 2: Fuck filo semitic and hell we're dead and our people

973
01:11:02,079 --> 01:11:05,399
are gone and Christianity is wiped off of the earth.

974
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:11,479
That's when we'll be philosmitic enough for them.

975
01:11:12,079 --> 01:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I can't I can't stand it. Then, well, I mean,

976
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,079
and I can't say that it's not like, Okay, this

977
01:11:19,159 --> 01:11:24,520
isn't affecting me personally, you know. I mean, if I search,

978
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,800
maybe I can find some way. That's really fucking insulting,

979
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,159
and it's it's insulting for those of us who like,

980
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,439
this country is all we have. Yeah, we have nowhere

981
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:42,800
else to go. They have somewhere else to go. They

982
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,920
have some place they built, someplace they can escape to.

983
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,560
But I mean, the whole purpose of this is you know,

984
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,600
it's like you know, a certain painter said, and you know,

985
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,039
Francis Parker Yaki said, they're not going to go there. No,

986
01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:00,439
the diaspora is what's most important. It's the it's the

987
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:06,159
Jewish billionaires in this country is what keeps them, is

988
01:12:06,199 --> 01:12:10,680
what you know. And all the lobbying to steal money

989
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:17,880
from us to send to them, That's that's it. That's

990
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,039
the problem. Is not the problem that Israel exists, it's

991
01:12:22,159 --> 01:12:26,279
that the diaspora exists. And of course it's not all Jews.

992
01:12:27,399 --> 01:12:30,159
But I mean, let's start with the billionaires. Let's start

993
01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:32,239
with let's start with the you know, like the bill

994
01:12:32,279 --> 01:12:34,920
Ackmans of the world, and let's start with it. And

995
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:36,760
I don't know that. I don't think Josh Hammer is

996
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,920
a billionaire, but the Josh Hammers of the world, and

997
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,319
you know, the the Larry Ellison's of the world.

998
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 2: This is the problem that a Jewish woman complaining about

999
01:12:52,920 --> 01:13:00,439
the left becoming anti Semitic in saying, the entire left

1000
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:05,600
is was created by us, like every ideology and the

1001
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:09,079
leader of every movement and everything was Jewish, and you're

1002
01:13:09,199 --> 01:13:11,359
you don't appreciate us enough for that.

1003
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: It's like, well you said it. Yeah, it's like, I mean,

1004
01:13:16,199 --> 01:13:20,760
you know, what's that Daily Forward or Daily Stormer? Yes, exactly.

1005
01:13:21,159 --> 01:13:24,560
I mean, seriously, are you exactly what are you trying

1006
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:25,079
to do here?

1007
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 2: Cartoonish? Cartoonish?

1008
01:13:31,119 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's so ridiculous. But anyway, I gotta get

1009
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,199
out of here, yep. And I'm sure you probably do. Uh,

1010
01:13:40,319 --> 01:13:44,079
you probably got got stuff to do too. But and

1011
01:13:44,239 --> 01:13:47,640
I really, uh, I always appreciate these episodes because I

1012
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:54,800
think they're they're probably I think people can see and

1013
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:58,239
listen and make the correlations. It's not going to be

1014
01:13:58,319 --> 01:14:01,319
exactly the same. Obviously, we're not a halfolic country. We're not.

1015
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:08,800
I mean, but you know, open your eyes. Yeah, yeah,

1016
01:14:08,199 --> 01:14:14,279
you'll see it. You'll see it. Yeah. Tell people where

1017
01:14:14,319 --> 01:14:15,359
they find your stuff now.

1018
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:21,279
Speaker 2: All right, best place is a substack where this article resides.

1019
01:14:21,359 --> 01:14:24,199
Carldall dot substack dot com. That's k A R L

1023
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,840
