    “Death to intelligence!”

    Not far from where I worked is a street bearing the name of José Millán Astray, founder of the Spanish Legion and author of the utterance. The full quote is:

    “Death to intelligence, long live death!”

    As a teacher, you can imagine how sympathetic I feel to that quote.

    The requisites for being a far-right Spaniard are common to all fascists: be male, stupid, xenophobic, mysoginist, traditional, religious (albeit hypocritical), defend the rich, lick boots.

    They’re mad because the 1% who fit the description cannot convince more than 10% - 15%. And that’s through truckloads of $$$ spent in propaganda.











  • Wow, thanks for telling the whole story. We’ve told you many times already, but here it goes again: your courage is commendable, I look up to you and I double your age.

    They repressed and they looked down on you so hard you are a hardcore communist now and you’ll probably be it forever. Your story reminded me of a girl I knew many years ago who was systematically bullied by her father, who was a psychiatrist. Well, she ended up being a representative for a famous leftist Spanish party.

    So the moral of the story is that of old Santa: capitalists and fascists breed their own gravediggers. (Just kidding, it was Karl Marx, not Santa. Not joking on the grave digging though).
