There were fascist parties in many countries, including France, Britain, Norway, etc.

Correction, socialist parties.

"Fascismo" is an Italian word that does not translate into other languages...

Please don't "correct" me when you clearly don't know what you're talking about. In the 1930s, Sir Oswald Mosely was head of the British Union of Fascists. In France, the major fascist (again, they called themselves that) parties were La Cagoule, Action Francaise and Faisceau (literally the French translation of the "untranslatable" "fascismo").

Why you would presume to lecture me on this boggles the mind.

Additionally, both France and Britain were ruled in the 1930s by socialist parties. In your brilliant estimation of history, would you describe the fascist Action Francaise as supporting or opposing the socialist government of Leon Blum? Would you describe Sir Oswald Mosely of the Union of British Fascists being for against the socialist government of Ramsay Macdonald? Just wondering...
