"gets massive wealth from it" Which barely reached the general population and just caused inflation The entirety of the Spanish economy and society was in free fall between 1550s-1750s before turning to shit by 1800s, this is a point Franco himself insisted on repeatedly

@tankie_think I love how tradcaths worship the guy that used the army of Africa to terrorize spain and undermined the people that were actually in line with their beleifs.
@tankie_think Portugal, for the past 300 years by far the most backward nation in Western Europe, had a better domestic situation than Spain for basically its entire history from 1700 up until 20 years ago.
@tankie_think >gets massive wealth from it Fails to mention all that wealth was all spent by a small elite on palaces and war Also fails to mention Spain didn't have even basic capitalism (thanks to the catholic church) up until the 60s-70s The last time Iberia was good was Al-Andalus
@tankie_think discutir con anglos nostálgicos de imperios que nunca vieron no merece la pena
@tankie_think It is exactly like the USA 2% Jews stand for all the ones with the most money
@tankie_think You are arguing with this guy as if he did not google "stuff the Spanish Empire did" before posting that.
