These unsettling and unusual places tell a vivid story about the unique way that Spain deals with its past – or fails to, says food writer and chef Abbas Asaria
It always amuse me how people think that just because someone go to a certain place then he should be a supporter of whatever the place represented in the past (for the present I might somewhat agree but still seems stupid most of the time).
Following your reasoning, we should demolish basically everything in Europe, almost everything could be linked to some not so nice past period or event.
No, but if you go to a fascist fan café, people will think that you are a fan of fascists. And there is a difference between historical monuments and businesses catering to fascists

If the café is run now by a fascist It can be true to some degree but it is a stupid way to judge people, there can be a lot of reasons why someone goes in aside being a fascist, for example it could be the only one near enough, not all places have tons of café nearby.

True, but what we call historical ? Something from the 1920’s ? Older ? If I enter a palace built by the fascist regime in the 1920 it make me a fascist, even if now it is used for something else ?
Just imaging the folks going into such a bar
I sometimes go to a place that has Marxist symbols, doesn’t mean I’m a tankie. It’s just a nice place with chill people.
Does Marxist imply tankie? I was under the impression that some Leninism was needed for that.
Edit: yep. Marxists are not tankies
It’s 2026, everyone is either a Zionist, anti-semite, tankie, racist, misogynist or homophobe.
Let’s just say people see Marx and Engels and immediately jump to Stalinism.
