Yes! There is something pagan about having Franco buried in the middle of this huge monument surrounded by the countless victims of his own war, like a modern pharaoh.I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says fourteen deaths according to official statistics, which you'll have to forgive me for not entirely trusting. But anyway, I find the fact that they evidently dug up some of his victims and moved them to keep him company disgusting. I guess because using up convicts to build the monument at least has an element of utilitarianism to it, while actually going to the trouble of exhuming remains and moving them there is extremely weird death cult behavior
Undoubtedly Spanish "fascism" (if it can be called fascism, I would call it national-ultracatholicism) had a strong cult to death. For instance "Long live death!" Is the motto the the Spanish legion, which was founded by this guy, a top fascist hero, who was shot so many times he looked like the living image of death:
