There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

It's funny cause I was that stoner kid who drew anarchy symbols everywhere but I also spent a lot of time on early Wikipedia learning about Anarcho-syndicalism, libertarian socialism, anti-establishment though, environmentalism, etc. I'm definitely a fat leftist, was very involved with Black Rose Antifa in Portland and firmly believe that racism, capitalism and theorcary will destroy humanity.
Finally, some good fucking KZhead recommendations.
I've only read Homage to Catalonia once, and it was a couple years ago now, but I don't remember learning that Orwell actually killed anyone while at the front - in fact the only thing on this that sticks in my memory is his honest admission that he fired several potshots over the top of his trench at points, but hadn't a clue whether he'd hit anyone. Am I forgetting the bit where he kills lots of people with grenades? I only really remember a couple close-quarters encounters with the enemy that are in there, and I don't recall that happening. Coincidentally, Homage to Catalonia is one of the best books anyone has ever written, so people should definitely read it
One of my great-grandfathers was conscripted and sent to fight in Morocco during the Rif war. He was in the Battle of Annual and was one of the 3 survivors in his company. My other great-grandfather of Spanish origin ran off the country before getting conscripted to fight in Cuba...
a great companion piece to this is Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff’s episode on the anarchists of the spanish civil war. great ep!! i’m starting to think this whole fascism thing is kinda bad!!!
You know what else is kinda bad... MY MOM!!!
@@whackedoutpoobrain ...That kinda sounds like you're calling your mom hot??
@@Ezekiel_Allium It's Muscle Man's catch phrase in Regular Show. Muscle Man is the character in the OP's picture. It's a silly show.
@@whackedoutpoobrain hey man, no need to be embarassed, we all got a little Oedipus inside us. No need to invent shows to justify your tastes
@@Ezekiel_Allium LOL 😂
1898 is the end of the spanish empire but i would say that the key was the battle of Trafalgar and the whole napoleonic ocupation
One thing that i would think is important to add or read about is part of the reason that anarchism went so big in Spain during that time period is that anarchists provided a public service that nobody else (except, as you mentioned, the catholic church) was providing: education. Check out the ferrer modern school. Dude even got executed for it. Loved the episode. And the series❤
I think that while you state Spain was a collection of of countries/regions, and really didn't have a form of nationalism because of that, I would hold that the Catholic Church became a substitute for the feeling of nationalism.
Sort of and it depends a lot on the exact time frame. But the main reason that doesn't work is that while Catholicism is a binding force in Spain it is not really the same as a nationalist identity when it comes to fascists' using it to justify their superiority over others. I mean France and Italy are just as Catholic leaving no real distinction to exploit. Religion works fine for colonialism, not so much when you try to bring the attitudes back home and form fascism as well as nationalism, or racism does.
Just in case anyone hasn't kept up with current news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.
This episode is a bit old and I doubt y'all are looking at the KZhead comments. But I just wanted to point out that in the war the US no only got Cuba and the Philippines. They also got Puerto Rico in that bag.
And Guam! Don't forget Guam!
Great podcast i got alot of catching up to do
Euskal Herria!
Prop is a top 5 BtB guest!!!!!!!
My name is Chad, and I've been an Anarchist for like 15 years. Looks like it's working!
"anarcho-sternocleidomastoid" 😂😂😂
Plenty of reason to fight the Spanish in Cuba, from a non-colonial point of view. It just happened to also coincide with greedy imperialism, but like most things it had many reasons and points of interest in the Spanish-American war
31:12 besides being very messy it is also very Messi!
Goin back to Tangier with some Jordans and a spear - hot tip of the spear foreign legion soldier, probably
Yeah, the "system" doesnt work for a lot of people that get told otherwise. Its pretty annoying
I was meaning to post my comment when this was first aired but life always finds a way to muddle things up. My mother was from Northern Spain and a Basque and so this is territorio familiar regarding Franco. She once told me that as young girl gathering water for her family at her village a squad of Franco's troops arrived and fanned out as they approached- they were looking for Basque separatists. Have you ever seen the film Pan's Labyrinth and the sadistic Spanish Captain? Well then, imagine A Squad of them in-like mentality. Anyway, years later ETA, [an acronym for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna]- ("Basque Homeland and Liberty ) was formed. They began as a pacifist movement but later evolved into an terrorist organization, they were very far-left. When they existed it was gloves off between them and Franco, the police would track down members and kill them, the bodies discarded, usually in the wilderness of the Pyrenees Mountains.
The Spanish Civil War is a very interesting subject to study but people often overlook the human tragedy of it all. Terrible thing when families are made to fight eachother.
I think we should just have a political category called RBAFD (Ruled By A Few Dickheads) or Rule By Dickheads for short. Just to cleanup all the terms. China is 'obviously' not communist or socialist, it's RBAFD. The Soviet Union was not communist or socialist, it was RBAFD. Saudi Arabia is RBAFD. Every dictatorship that rules by force is RBAFD. If some whiny schoolmarm asks, just say it means Rule By A Forceful Dictatorship... but the rest of us will know. See, isn't that easier?
The problem: name a country on earth that isn't RBAFD even if you come up with one, someone will disagree with you.
@@SavageGreywolf The USA is not RBAFD (though we seem to be headed that way). Sure, our dickheads have a lot of power but there are a whole lot of them, they don't all agree on stuff and we have mechanisms to fight them. They have to spend time and money twisting the brains of the braindead right wingers to keep the power they have. Not so in China or Saudi Arabia or the old Soviet Union.
I believe you have literally reinvented the word "authoritarianism"
@@Ezekiel_Allium Kind of... but mine is clearer. I just get tired of all the jargon terms like authoritarianism, fascism and oligarchy, etc. It makes it more confusing for the average person.
Gotta say I disagree with Robert, the anti-clerical anarchists did nothing wrong.
