Racist doesn't mean fascist, but you can't be fascist without being racist.
As long as the executive doesn't control the judges, or insist on carrying a two speed justice, you can't really be fascist country.
Ergo a fascist party is one which is at least nationalist, if not ethnonationalist, and insist on curbing the rule of law : X should be less equal than Y in front of the law (assuming the same social class).
You can be fascist without being racists. Not all countries contain only one genetic population.
Seconded. I remember a self-described “civic fascist” on Quora who explicitly disavowed racism. Mussolini’s regime wasn’t particularly racist except when it came to their African colonies (he thought antisemitism was dumb until Hitler forced him to adopt Nazi-like racial laws).
