There are three Falanges, but he probably likes the one that is here.

[javipeli]

As you say there are three Falanges.
The pro-immigrations and anti fascist Falange Autentica and Falange Española de las JONS and the one in this picture La Falange friend of movements such as NPD or Forza Nuova.

Falange Española de las JONS is the historical name but unfortunately now it is owned by a disastrous man...

[Krieger]

Really the Fe JONS and Falange Autentica are horribles, I don´t know that Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera believed if saw this names with this political actuation.

[Menydh]

The "auténtica" (known as FEa in the 70s-80s) was based on an early anti-francoist split by followers of Manuel Hedilla, who was the second national leader of Falange after José Antonio's execution. In the late 70s and 80s they were a "red falange". I remember those idiots with the pictures of José Antonio together with those of Ché Guevara. What a pathetic bunch of retards.

But let's not fool ourselves. Ramiro Ledesma (see my avatar), founder of JONS and of Spanish National Syndicalism, abandoned the union of Falange Española and JONS only one year after both formations were fusioned. What would be Falange without National Syndicalism... ?

Oh.. and I believe that the Falange Independiente (FEi) is still in existance. Well, existance..

I'm surprised to see quite a lot of middle-aged and elderly people in the same crowd with young teenagers. Is that common?

The rally seemed to span every age group.

I love the Spanish Eagle Flag ... what is it called?

[Galaico]

It has no specific name, it is the Spanish flag with the Spanish coat of arms with the Eagle of Saint John Evangelist. This coat of arms was first used by the Catholic Kings.



The coat of arms represents the union of the kingdoms of Castile (castle), León (lion), both on Isabella's side, with the kingdoms of Aragón (the red bars over yellow background) and Sicily (the two small eagles), on Ferdinand's side.

Though these were the kingdoms represented, the Catholic Kings ruled over many more kindoms, most of them in the Iberian Peninsula (Castile, León, Aragón, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Mallorca, Sevilla, Córdoba, Murcia, Los Algarves, Algeciras y Gibraltar, Barcelona, Biscay and Molina), and others abroad (Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Athens, Neopatria, Rousellon, Oran and Gociano).

Later the symbols of Granada (1492)


and Navarra (1512, after Isabella's death) were added, when the kingdoms became part of the Spanish Crown.


General Francisco Franco used during his rule (1939-1975) the same coat of arms with some changes:



The legend "Tanto Monta" was changed by "Una, Grande, Libre", and Heracles' pillars (with the legend Plvs Vltra) which had been added to the Spanish coat of arms long before were now represented with Saint John's Eagle.

The flag was later changed in 1977, two years after Franco's death to the following:




And in 1981 the eagle was removed.




Nowadays some Franquist followers use the following flag, which is just a modern/wrong version of the older ones, what is ignored by most people.




Aswell King Charles I of Spain, Emperor Charles V of the Holy-Roman Empire, used the following Habsburg coat of arms:


As you can see the Heracles' pillars were already there, but the two headed Imperial Eagle must not be taken for Saint John's.

What are these Falages today anyway? Political parties, informal groups or...?

Political parties. They have not yet realized that Falange should have become a cultural association about a decade ago.

It's also the Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti).

Yes you are right Falange stinks, I don't know if it is because of what Franco did with it or what but the fact is that it has become useless and however a modern portrate they want to try and put out it is not working for them.

But of course there naivity will not let them see that.

[Menydh]

I don't think that stink is the right word. It has nothing to do with Franco but with the inherent inability to evolutionary thought in any ideology evolved around the cult to a leader.

They are not the only ones at that:
Politics: Bauísmo

But.. oh, well! We all like to think that we have the supreme truth.

Well I diden't say that it was necesarily because of Franco I said it could be I wasn't sure and I am still not but anyway it defenitly goes along the lines you have mentioned.

the inherent inability to evolutionary thought
To me that equals stinks

Ohh no... now they think I am narowed minded.
No, I only admire Bau he is a theoratitian and a good National Socialist as well as a constant fighter.
But I don't consider him a leader.
Any way National Socialists in Spain have accepted what Falange hasn't we fight via cultural agitation made from cultural asociations not political ones. .:: NOVA EUROPA ::. - Offline
