Francisco Franco (Tessa Darcy)

     Many view extremism as negative and simply unethical. What these individuals do not know is that the practice and belief of extremism is only essential in order to achieve complete security and stability within a nation. I Francisco Franco, am currently the dictator of Spain and through the use of extremism I am finding success. The people of my country had previously faced war and struggle, which caused them to pursue change. Extremism was this change for them, something new to provide them with safety and hope that their lives would improve under a new belief after their current political belief did not support them as they wished. Currently small groups of people across Western Europe and Russia are attempting to preserve extremism/fascism. This is occurring because these people are in need of something new to depend on through their struggle. For example those currently in Nazi Germany recently suffered through the depression. With no hope and facing extreme hunger and poverty, Adolf Hitler, a great man whom I admire, was able to utilize extremism to recuperate the muddled lives of these individuals. When society wrongs people, they will seek change. 
     The only thing that should be done about the rise of extremism is that it should further be enforced and more should support it. This is because, I am dictating under the use of it and believe that I have kept my people safe and secure. I have had to diminish several freedoms of my people such as limiting the rights of women and make my secret police spy on and enforce laws upon all. Yet I only do these things in order to provide my people with the uttermost security. I mean in the end would one rather have freedom yet no protection, or absolute protection yet little freedom?  Without the belief of extremism, I would not have gained accomplishments. For example I had success in the Spanish Civil War utilizing my skillful military and assistance from Nazi Germany of course, in order to protect my people.
     Through the rise of extremism, those who seek it will surely find the security they acquire; there is proof of this due to Adolf Hitler’s success and my success these past few years. We have protected those who simply deserve it and have tried to rid of those who do not. Hitler has banned the Jews, and I have banned those who speak the Catalan and Basque languages. We only have done these things in order to provide the most absolute stability to those under us who truly deserve it. Overall, extremist uprisings are probably one of the only routes for people to find needed assurance and defense within society. The belief of extremism should only prosper for the betterment of all.

  1. Hello Francisco Franco, I am Neville Chamberlain. This is a very interesting viewpoint you have on extremism. Of course, I agree with how you began, saying that extremism is negative and simply unethical. This is extremely true. World War I put countries all throughout Europe into hard places that leaders, such as yourself, have to dig the country out of. I also agree with your point that there needed to be a change. That is why so many citizens are willing to give extremism a chance. They believe anything can be better than where they are now. As you said, it gives them hope of a better life. However, as you progress through explaining what you believe should be done concerning this issue of extremism, I have to disagree with you. You think it is okay to be a complete dictator and pick and choose who is allowed to stay in your society? That is extremely wrong. Extremism is and should be nothing more than a change from the ways of life that we used during World War I. It should just be a phase that brings people back from the deep depression they are in.
