A good example. The Soviets craved a satellite with windows on the mediterranean and on the atlantic. They barely humored and merely tolerated the naive, bright-eyed communism-is-love types. After franco finally won, the western economies isolated Franco's Spain (as well as fascist portugal), not allowing it to flourish financially. But, under Franco, immorality was kept in check, and family values were cherished.

Indeed sir. It’s good the right side “won” but at the cost of many. Freedom isn’t free after all.
