One of the factions can be worse without the other being perfect.
All my grandparents were pro-Franco (some more openly than others). I have done my own research and I have concluded that no, they were the baddies. Of course the other side were not all angels. They never are.

The problem is that that conflict from 80 years ago had ramifications that continue to exist today, even present in our Constitution.

I don't know, but for anarchists and for POUM [1], Franco could be part of "the baddies" (things are never so simple like good and bad), but "Republican" (with support for the URSS) members were the ones that killed them.
