That description just made me shiver.  When I run into it, I have an urge to back up against a solid wall, in a fight-or-flight second.  

It is a very strong sensation, but I have fine-tuned it to differentiate between my own memories of francoism, or current right-wing robotics, in various combinations with ignorance, old rage, sexism, or pure envy.

I do not see the numbers you speak about, in any circles in Spain.  You may get that sense from "Legionarios de Cristo" or gangs of "ultras" using fascist and nazi insignia, but I think the rest is a new form ugliism.

It has been 30 years, so anyone younger barely knows anything and the people that lived the civil war 1936-39 now speak up from either camp, mostly to express sorrow.  People have moved on to consumerism.
