Why do right-wingers in this forum often like Franco but dislike Peron?

[Tooting Carmen]

Not only was Franco many times more violent and authoritarian than Peron ever was, but even his economic policies were not actually that different. Both leaders basically enacted corporatist-third way policies, and while there was some liberalisation in Franco's Spain in the 1960's, even then there were still many State-owned enterprises like Seat, Iberia, Renfe etc. and there were still tariffs and subsidies in a whole range of different sectors.

Peron was ineffective and ruined the economy of Argentina to this very day. Argentina functions off crippling taxation on it's own people.

[Jacques de Imbelloni]

Peron was anti american and anglophobic, neocons use him as a boogie man against populism and protectionism, but their version of Argentinas history is grossly simplified.

An independent militarist who succeeded in not allowing communism to take hold in western/southern Europe. Spains Economy was already ruined by that point and he actually built up the economy by making Spain self sufficient but not closing it off to the west, Spain used to make a lot of toys and stuff for the global market as where Argentina isolated.

So was Franco in fact, albeit to a lesser extent.

Well exactly.

I dislike both.

Peron ruined Argentine's sociaty and economy for ever, in fact, Peron wans't of right-wing.

Franco was different than Peron, he did some good things, and some bad things. The cultural diversity of Spain was crushed by Franquism, that's why i will never like him.

For a while in the 1940's, Spain's economy was actually one of the most closed in the world - more so than even some Communist nations. (Granted, the post-war embargo didn't help, but to a considerable extent it was also due to the deliberate policies of the Falangists).

[AlfonsoVIII]

There are many, many things to criticize about the Franco regime; but its economic and social policies allowed an economic improvement that has not been seen in Spain even in the immobiliary boom of 1995-2007.

My point is that Franco's economic policy was based on much the same corporatism and etatisme as Peron's, yet a lot of right-wingers seem to overlook or 'forgive' him for this in a way they don't with Peron.
