You don't have to be anti-semitic to be fascist.  Mussolini, the guy who 
invented the word was not overtly anti-semitic.  Menachem Begin certainly 
cannot be accused of anti-semitism, yet his ideology was pretty fascistic.  
Fascism is a political ideology, a product of advanced capitalism.  We have 
elements of fascism in the good ole USA, too.  jbf
