"True, there were fascist leaders and movements in some of these countries whose rhetoric went further, conjuring up visions of national regeneration rather than merely reaffirming the old order. But the fascism of the Falange Espanola de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional Sindicalista - to give the Spanish fascist party its full, grandiose title - was only a small component of Franco's fundamentally conservative support; the key word in Franco's merged Falange Espanola Tradicionalista was the last one. In other cases, notably in Austria, Hungary and Romania, the dictatorship acted to suppress or at least restrain fascist parties. Only in Germany was fascism both revolutionary and totalitarian in deed as well as in word. Only in Germany did dictatorship ultimately lead to industrialized genocide."
