::Did Pinochet consider himself a fascist? Did he actually implement fascist policies? No, he did not. Francisco Franco was a fascist; Antonio de Oliveira Salazar was a fascist; Benito Mussolini was a fascist; Adolf Hitler was a fascist; Antonescu and Pavelic were fascists; Getulio Vargas was a fascist. Do any of the sources listed provide any evidence of Pinochet's "fascism?" Wikipedia's own article on fascism: 

 Fascism, pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/, comprises a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology[1][2][3][4] and a corporatist economic ideology developed in Italy.[5] Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak.[6] 

 Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[7] Fascist governments forbid and suppress openness and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.[8] Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalist liberal democracies for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept.[9] 

 Pinochet did not advocate a single-party state. He was not anti-capitalist. He did not believe in the national/racial "perpetual conflict." He opposed class conflict (as can be seen in the original version of the 1980 Constitution) and forbade and suppressed openness and opposition to the government, but the latter is a hallmark of all (or almost all) dictatorships, not just fascist ones. 

 Calling someone a "fascist" does not make it so. Many radical libertarians call Barack Obama a "fascist," and likewise, many on the left (and a few on the right) called George W. Bush a "fascist," as well. 

 While some have called Pinochet a fascist, have they provided any evidence of him subscribing to fascist ideology or implementing fascist policies?
