I agree with what you're saying and fascism and dictatorship held on in Greece and Spain and
Portugal, but eventually they "democratized." Another line is that the US allowed Western Europe to
democratize and shared the wealth because of the Soviet Union,  but if that was the case, now with
the SU gone wouldn't it revert to fascism again?
