No surprise that there are no other comments here, exactly as Phil Ochs knew and sang. Did you ever wonder why? No one in our generation was taught to learn about, let alone question, the global history of the early 21st century. In the late 1930s Spain was in a civil war. Its fall to Franco easily led to the rise of fascism elsewhere, and inevitably WWII. And those who fought against fascism returned to their home nations and were shunned, attacked, spied on.
Next time maybe we should stop, wonder why, pause and cry.
