  19. The fascist party is led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the party, the government and other state institutions. Fascists reject the conventional form of democracy that assumes human equality, and instead claim that fascism represents an organized and centralized authoritarian democracy. This fascist form of democracy advocates the rule of the most qualified, rather than rule by a majority of numbers. Fascism supports a socially united collective national society and opposes socially divided class-based societies.

Franco’s government is characterized by: The strong repression of the supporters of Los Republicanos There are no political parties There is no freedom to strike There is no freedom of expression (censorship of books, movies, etc.) There is no religious freedom: Spain is a catholic country There are no states: Spain is one It is prohibited to teach el catalán, el gallego, and el euskera
