Anti-Semitism isn't an inherit trait of fascism. It's an inherit trait of Nazism.

Mussolini was in power in Italy 10 years before Hitler was in Germany and he wasn't very anti-Semitic at all. He was influenced by Hitler towards the end of his reign but even then his anti-Semitic policies were mild when compared to Germany.

Part of the problem with calling someone a fascist is that people associate the word with Hitler. But Hitler wasn't the only fascist or even the first fascist.

So perhaps this:

Is not making the point you think it's making.
