Maybe ur reading too much into s/Markimus ‘ comment? Jose Antonio was by most categorisations, a Fascist (just like the NSDAP) & his movement was closely aligned with Italian Fascism.

That doesn’t mean there weren’t important distinctions. Spanish French or German Fascism are naturally going to look quite different to their Italian predecessor.

But I don't think he was a fascist because he didn't support the core fascist beliefs that Markimus and Zoltanous mentioned that fascists should believe in.

I think Primo De Rivera was just a fascist collaborator like Dollfuss, but was also antifa like Dollfuss.
