Possible Successors
In addition, many other notable political figures have been labelled as Fascists, due to anti-immigration, protectionist, nationalistic and sometimes racist political beliefs, but have not so called themselves and in many cases have objected strenuously to the association. Ever since 1945, self-identification as a Fascist (outside Iberia) has been the hallmark of fringe extremists, and not of politicians, many moderately successful, as those below. They could, in fact, be described, as , of "flirting with Fascism," within democratic societies. Martin A. Lee, in The Beast Reawakens (ISBN 0316519596), calls them "National Populists with a Neofascist edge."

Possible Ancestors
Several philosophers have been noted as proto-Fascists or inspirations for Fascism by Fascists themselves and by others, although most never lived to see Fascism and of those who did, many repudiated it. Fascism can be viewed as the child not of any one of these thinkers, but as a synthesis of some of the thoughts of all of them, put together by the founders of Fascism in the 1920s and 30s.
