I don't think that Italian Fascism (probably Spanish
Fascism too, but I really don't know) was any more
racist in its ideology than Britain was at the time.
It wasn't until 1939 that Mussolini caved into Hitler
on the "Jews Are Evil" issue. And there is a reason
80% of Italian Jews survived the Holocaust, as opposed
to the 20% of French Jews who did.

I think those guys are more inspired by the Nazis than
the Fascists, probably because Nazism is more
transferrable to US conditions due to Americans'
obession wirh race.
