Violence and Ideology in the Spanish Civil War

This chapter explores the complex nature of violence during the Spanish Civil War, challenging the notion that it was solely a phenomenon of the left. It examines various factions' involvement in political violence, including the actions of Carlist and Falange militias, and discusses the implications of ideological beliefs and historical narratives. Additionally, the chapter highlights the role of external influences, such as Portugal's facilitation of military support, and reflects on the personal journey of understanding libertarianism and anti-Semitism in relation to political discourse.
