Re: Ernest Mandel remembers...

Mandel again:
>An important characteristic of fascist dictatorships, both in Italy, in
Hitler's Germany and in Spain, was the total atomisation of the working
class, and the smashing of workers organisations, which serves to disable
well-organised resistance of the working class right from the very start. So
long as broadly organised resistance persists, there can be no question of a
truly fascist dictatorship. The role and historic peculiarity of fascism was
precisely to smash this resistance, and realise the total atomisation of the
working class.<

Pinochet counts as "fascist" under this criterion.
