There's a scene with Oppenheimer defends his work on the Manhattan Project to his friend by saying, "It's not your people that are being targeted." Because Oppy is a jew. What strikes me is he defends the leftist in the Spanish Civil War despite them killing Catholics and raping nuns. I'm not a blame the jooz guy but I find it interesting that defending the Jewish community is good, but destroying a Christian community isn't even a consideration when picking sides.

I'm not an expert on the SCW, but what stands out to me is how zealous the Republicans were. A lot of moderates were in favor of abolishing the monarchy and were okay to try socialism. Even Franco was a communist. But when the leftist started murdering nuns and priest without compuncture, those moderates ran to the right.
It is only becoming clear to me now, sadly in my 40s, how much of the communist revolutions worldwide are holy wars. And being on the right side of their "god" how much leftist will excuse and justify their actions.
Yeah, the Republicans were actually Democratic Socialists, but are basically re-framed as akin to Neo-Liberal Moderates. In reality, they were very clearly happy to let the Anarchists commit wholesale slaughter of political opponents, and often did.
