Unlike Migeru I wouldn't characterize the Chetniks as straight out fascist, more Franco style nationalist-conservative-authoritarian with fascist elements. But then some do see Franco as straight fascist.

We have had this debate before, and I have conceded your point that Franco was a soft fascist.

But I'll still call him a fascist anyway even if it's not 100% accurate in political science terms.

Franco may not have been a fascist, but the CEDADE and the Falange were straight-out pascists, and he folded them into his National Movement.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Nationalist-conservative, yes, Chetnics were but I don't see them necessarily as fascists. I don't see them as racists for example...but then again who knows what would be the case if they managed to get in power. Ustashe managed (with a help of Hitler) to get in power and it was real practical fascism, racism...you name it. No other word for it and especially not patriots all tho they were patriotic in a way that they would do anything ( and I mean anything even go along with Hitler) for Croatia.

Not quite sure how the Ustashe were worse than the Nazis.

I meant for Serbs in WWII. Germans did terrible crimes (especially in revenge for killed German solders) but Ustashe wiped whole villages, whole families down to the baby in a cot in most horrific "manners". Plane evil...and Jasenovac will be for ever engraved in Serbian collective mind...never to be forgotten. Again it's a game with numbers but the numbers are huge one way or another...Have you seen movie "Occupation in 26 pictures"...Croatian director...made before these war.Try to find it and you may get a glimse of the picture about Ustashe
Well we can talk about it some other time. It'v well passed bad time here in Oz.
