Re: Olimpic flame
Indeed. I would never call Juan Antonio Samaranch a fascist, because generally the very idea of fascism was characteristic only for Italy (and Britain to some extent) and not for Spain. All national, anti-communist, and anti-capitalist movements in Europe cannot be called fascist, that's pretty simplistic way of looking at things. Each of these movements were unique in each of the nations and states in which they emerged.
Franco's regime can be rather called right wing conservative than anything else, particularly not national-revolutionary.
