I climbed the mound, in order to take pictures of the beautiful sculptures of the four Saints. I was moved by the honor bestowed to the people who died. I wasn't into politics at that age, but I knew even back then, that right or wrong doesn't always apply, when you are honoring a fallen brother or sister. Right or wrong, this was a beautiful memorial to the soldiers, and I will always be thankful for the opportunity to be allowed to pray for Spain and for the U.S. in the chapel.

Joined the the Abraham Lincoln Brigade fought and died in Spain on the side of the Republicans. When I visited Spain I went to see the Valle de los Caidos. Believe me, we dont have any kind of memorial for the American Warriors who died for their country, that can even approach the grandeur or that place. I was very impressed. When I asked if My uncle was among the names inscribed there he said he was not because he fought on the wrong side. Thousands of Spanish citizens and other nationalities died in that unnecesarry war. The unsung heroes who fought out of idealism, were enslaved and many died to build this monument to fascism.

Seriously speaking, I think the momument should be preserved and promoted. Perhaps it could be re-dedicated to all the fallen in the History of Spain, all times, all sides, but nothing else. The Valley of the Fallen is one of the most asthonishign places I have ever visited in the world.

Fue eregido por Franco, cierto, pero repito, fue eregido para que la memoria de todos los españoles que perdieron su vida en la guerra nunca fuese olvidado, ya fuesen de un bando u otro.

And it's a monument to the fascims, franco buried himselve there because it was beside where the kings are buried, and because the didn't let him be buried in el escorial. All this things mean something, in spain there's still fascism, and I think that the should destroy the valley.

Please read something. Communist were a minority in Spain. Socialists, anarchists and republicans had more power. And talking about communism, it existed two kind of them. One, the pro-stalin from the PCE of José Díaz. The other, the anti-stalin from the POUM of Andreu Nin. I can asssure you that POUM people didn't want a china nor ussr dictatorship. Read, that always goes well. Tur you don’t have any idea about Spanish Civil War. Please read something. Communist were a minority in Spain. Socialists, anarchists and republicans had more power.
