Anti-democratic ethnic nationalism doesn't sound as catchy and fascism is a historically loaded term.

Anti-democratic may also not be the best term when a majority of the people more or less support what you do. Illiberal, populist, protectionist, sure, but these do not sound nearly as bad.
Authoritarian is a more descriptive term than anti-democratic.
