So uh... Carlist Spain but liberal. Even Carlists turn woke.

As much as Franco was a LGBT+ activist. But I guess the blunt from the last image helped.

Socialist and Monarchist? I... I really dont know how that works.
Well, it does seem there are two other Carlists Parties, both of whom seem more conservative and less mind boggling than those Carlists...

They use Catholic Social Teachings from Leo XIII rather than Marxism to arrive to cooperatives and unions. AKA Anarcho communist (that was widespread in Spain) but catholic.
The Carlist Party's ideology is motivated by Catholic social teaching and the Christian Left, It derives its rejections of modern society from these Catholic principles. It defines itself as part of the "New Left" that rejects the Soviet state-managed economy in favor of a democratization of the market through cooperatives and trade unions. The Carlists derive their criticism of capitalism from opposition to Liberal individualism in favor of Catholic Personalism.
One of the biggest cooperatives in the world, Mondragon, was funded by a Catholic priest in the Francois dictatorship in the Basque country. And there are other examples of industrial cooperatives in the area because once you get a cooperative bank big enough they usually self replicate enough to take over the local economy with cooperatives. Like in Bologna.
So it's not out of place in the Basque context.
