Who were the good guys in the Spanish Civil War?

What side were people who rejected every form of totalitarianism (whether it's communism, fascism, etc) in favor of democracy and freedom on?
I don't think people who weren't part of such category were bad people, but I think liberal democracy was the best system.

It's all very well to talk about democracy and freedom when your country isn't a puppet state of the Soviet Union.

“I was 6 years old in July 1936 when the war started,” remembers Ismael Virto, a U.S. representative of Spain’s University of Navarra. “There was a knock on the door, and it was the militia — self-appointed men and women, Spanish people, with guns.”

“They said, ‘Give arms to the people!’ Our house was modest, a middle-class house in the city of Valencia, which was controlled by the socialists. Why did this gang come to us? My father had a car, which was a problem — for us,” continued Virto.

“So, the militia searched our house. They took whatever weapons we had, a hunting gun and some ceremonial swords. But then they saw it and knew we were dangerous: My grandfather had a life-sized crucifix in his bedroom. And to these guys, the Church was their enemy,” Virto explained.

He continued, “So this is the situation the militia sees. They tell my father, ‘We’re coming back tomorrow.’ The next day, my father was already in London. He represented a British fruit importer, so he went to London quickly, and he brought the rest of us later.”

“Could my father have survived? It’s doubtful. My aunt was married to a man who was a small industrialist. He was killed by the militia. They had eight children,” Virto said.

“It was just like the French Revolution or in the Soviet Union, but it was Spain in the summer of 1936. These militias — the Republican side — took regular people from their homes and took them to the jails or to the cemeteries and just shot them. It was totally lawless.”
