Critiquing Hispanism

This is going to be an analysis of this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/thespanishlegcy/status/1730128381142819110

For context, hispanism is a trend in modern history circles that tries to defend, preserve, or otherwise explain Spanish history in the modern age, between 1492 and 1808, coincidentally the same time period where Spain grew into the biggest empire of its time, and then lost it all (except Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara but everyone always forgets them)

[ID and translation: were the lands of the Spanish Empire colonies?... We'll clear your doubts in this thread! The image reads: England = Colonies; Spain = Viceroyalties]. The argument of viceroyalties vs colonies is expanded on a later tweet.

[ID and translation: Already in 1519, a Royal Decree from Charles V, which would later be included in the Indies Laws, said what you can see: "That the Western Indies shall always be united to the Crown of Castile, and cannot be alienated. We command that, at no point, can they be separated from our royal Crown of Castile, disunited or divided as a whole or in parts, nor in favor of any person."]

They are saying that, since the land in the Americas were considered integral to the crown, they could not be colonies. Nevermind that every empire in history has used this argument: Portugal with Angola and Mozambique, France with Algeria, Great Britain with South Africa... The level of grace these people grant to the Spanish Empire is astounding and we will see more.

[ID and translation: The writer Cesáreo Járabo uses this humanist principle to explain that this concept not only spans the hierarchy and dignity of the Imperial institutions, but also the recognition of equal rights to those from the Indies]

There were no equal rights between Spaniards and natives within the empire. The Spaniards famously held the economic and political hegemony, and they formed their own class, called the creoles. This is not a humanist concept, it's 16th century imperial propaganda and there are people who still fall for it.

[ID and translation: From 1869, the nomenclature of Spain and its lands went from being called "Kingdom of the Spains" to being called "Kingdom of Spain", to reinforce the idea that all of its lands had the same rights and were under the same crown]

You know, it's interesting they mention the date. 1869 was one year after the revolution of 1868, when the bourbon queen Isabel II was ousted and replaced with the savoy king Amadeo I, and by this point all American colonies had revolted and gained independence except for Cuba. Outside the Americas, the Philippines was the only other notable colony, the rest were unprofitable and largely unimportant to the Spanish. It's almost like Spain was doing anything it could to keep the last colonies, feeling pressure from the nascent nationalist movements. The strongest of these movements was in Cuba, and it just so happens they were the first to get a couple of seats in the senate. Only creole parties won, of course.

[ID and translation: Despite this, and that "colony" was never used ("viceroyalties instead") for the official designation of the overseas lands, the term was used in propaganda by the rest of European powers, and to this day it is still used, with a critical intention towards Spain.]

Just because you name a thing a different thing it doesn't mean it's not the thing. It could be argued that foreign propaganda influenced how people think of the Spanish Empire, but literally every other European Power had propaganda levied against it. "Viceroyalty" comes from the medieval era, named after the viceroy, a person the king left in charge while he was gone. But just because it has a different name it doesn't mean it is not a colony. The British use overseas nowadays to refer to its remaining colonies, does that mean they aren't colonies?

It's the logic of an eight year old. Would anyone be convinced by a killer defending himself like "but I don't call it murder, so it can't be murder"

[ID and translation: Although there were models of exploitation of resources that could be considered colonial, many experts consider colonialism to be a completely different phenomenon to what happened in the Spanish Empire]

Ah yes, the "many experts" defense. Nevermind that these "experts" are almost always hispanists with a skewed view of the era and an ideological investment in rehabilitating the Spanish Empire. Pardon the usamerican expression, but this is a nothing burger

[ID and translation: One of the reasons to consider it like so is that the overseas territories reproduced many of the institutions of the metropolis, including all citizens under their protection]

This is not the argument they think it is. One of colonialism's key characteristics is the erasure of native power structures and replacing it with the metropolis' (It's so funny they use this word while trying to convince you Spain didn't have colonies). This is not unique to Spain, look literally anywhere in Africa

[ID and translation: The origin of the Spanish Black Legend is those European powers that used the term "colony" to appeal to a negative image of the Spanish Empire and its overseas territory]

They are repeating themselves on a previous point so I won't do the same, but it's ironic they are using a word the British used to avoid saying colony

[ID and translation: The current "decolonization" campaign that Spanish museums continues to perpetuate the Black Legend, because you cant decolonize what doesn't have a colonial history]

Reminder that, so far, the only arguments against Spain having colonies are:

Spain never called them colonies

Spain imposed its laws on the native population

The other Europeans called us bad names

It falls apart once you remove the fancy language

[ID and translation: Járabo concludes saying that the overseas territories were treated early on as provinces, functioning like those of the [Iberian] peninsula, and methods of assimilating the natives were pursued, not of exploitation]

What a way to end it. They didn't want to exploit the natives, just erase their culture, religion, language and government. They seem to be under the impression that assimilation is somehow better than "just" exploitation. Also, exploitation very much did take place, and Spain's economy throughout the 16th to 18th century was very reliant on the captive trade with the Americas, because once Spain lost these colonies, the economy crumbled

So overall, very weak, ahistorical and frankly, pathetic. Hispanism is a minority movement, very reactionary and unsurprisingly right wing. At their core, they only believe that Spain used to be great and benevolent, but for whatever reason (outside interference or internal sabotage), it is not anymore. These are people who are nostalgic for an empire that died 200 years ago. People who take this dead empire, make it their personality, and act offended when other point out its negative effect on the world, and that Spanish imperialism in the modern era still holds up modern Spain's wealth, nevermind the more recent imperialism.

Hola, Tumblr!

This is my first post so; hello Tumblr! This is a Falangist blog, as it may be apparent. For those who may not know: Falangism or Nationalsyndicalism is a third-positionist ideology which originates from Spain during the 1930s. If that doesn't clear thing up don't worry, I will post a more expanded definition of my ideology in following posts. So this blog will focus on Falangism, political takes from a Falangist perspective, promotion of Hispanic heritage and unity, etc. I hope this will get SOME kind of traction, it'd be nice to share these ideas with people. By the way, let's get it out of the way, everyone is welcome to this blog. Anybody who is willing to engage in respectful discussion is received with open arms; be they marxist, fascist, libertarian, conservative, liberal, social democrat, whatever it may be. That'll be all for now. I will be posting in the following days touching on the most basic subjects this blog entails. So, yeah; see you later fellas. José Antonio, presente!

Hispanidad Filipina

Hay dos sectores de hispanistas que están divididas sobre la cuestión de la hispanidad del filipino. El primer asegura que, a pesar de que ya no habla en castellano, el filipino aún es hispano debido a su cultura que permanece esencialmente hispánica. Por otro lado, el otro sector mantiene que el filipino ya no es hispano porque ya no habla en castellano. Nuestra postura: el filipino permanece…
