In the 18th century, the comuneros were not held in high regard by the [[Spanish Empire]]. The government was not amenable to encouraging rebellions, and only used the term to condemn opposition. In the [[Revolt of the Comuneros (Paraguay)|Revolt of the Comuneros in Paraguay]], the rebels did not take the name willingly; it was only meant to disparage them as traitors.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Colonial History of Paraguay: The Revolt of the Comuneros, 1721–1735 |last=López |first=Adalberto |year=2005 |publisher=Transaction Publishers |isbn=0-87073-124-6|page=12 }}</ref> Another [[Revolt of the Comuneros (New Granada)|Revolt of the Comuneros in New Granada]] (modern Colombia) was similarly unrelated to the original except in name.<ref>{{cite book |title=Military reform and society in New Granada, 1773–1808 |last=Kuethe |first=Allan J. |author-link=Allan J.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the image of the comuneros began to be rehabilitated by scholars such as Manuel Quintana as precursors of freedom and martyrs against [[Absolutism (European history)|absolutism]].<ref>[[#Per01|Pérez 2001]], p. 238.</ref> The decline of Castilian liberty was linked to the later decline of Spain.<ref name="nietoviahal">[[#Hal81|Haliczer 1981]], p. 7.

[[Francisco Franco|General Franco]]'s government from 1939 to 1975 also encouraged an unfavorable interpretation of the comuneros.<ref name="clavero" /> According to approved historians such as [[José María Pemán]], the revolt was fundamentally an issue of petty [[Nationalisms and regionalisms of Spain|Spanish regionalism]], something which Franco did his best to discourage. Additionally, the comuneros did not properly appreciate Spain's "imperial destiny."<ref>[[#Nie73|Gutiérrez Nieto 1973]], p. 96. Nieto is referring to Pemán's ''Breve Historia a España'',
Since the mid-twentieth century, others have sought more materialist reasons for the revolt. Historians such as [[José Antonio Maravall]] and [[Joseph Pérez]] portray the developing revolt as alliances of different social coalitions around shifting economic interests, with the "industrial bourgeoisie" of artisans and woolworkers combining with the intellectuals and the low nobility against the aristocrats and the merchants.<ref>[[#Hal81|Haliczer 1981]], p. 8. Haliczer is citing [[#Per70|Pérez 1970]], p. 19.</ref> Maravall, who views the revolt as one of the first modern revolutions, especially stresses the ideological conflict and intellectual nature of the revolt, with features such as the first proposed written constitution of Castile.<ref>[[#Hal81|Haliczer 1981]], p. 8.</ref>
