Yeah, that was the problem. We were rude to Franco. If we had said "please," and "thank you," and "excuse me," it would made all the difference. "Would you please hand over the power? We'd like to have a Republic with worker's cooperatives, thank you very much. Excuse us, will you please stand up against that wall? Much obliged! Would you like a cigarette? A blindfold? Aim, ready . . . " And the Greek Civil War was also due to lack of civility.
