I see Franco's Government as the lesser of two evils at that time.

I feel Fascism could work if the people were united behind a ruler who was anointed and enlightened to truly know what is best for the nation.

What Fascists have done is truly evil and barbaric, but I don't see the Doctrine of Fascism as evil.

Yes, if I was in Nazi Germany, they would put me out of my misery :p. Hitler thought the mentally ill should be euthanized!
It's still evil and it doesn't work. It always ends up in tyranny, mass murder and repression because that's where the doctrine logically leads. It's also inherently bigoted.

Would you consider the God of Scripture bigoted?. The Jews were his chosen people, the Bible was written by Jews, Jesus chose twelve Jewish men as Apostles, God told the Jews to annihilate gentile cities. I see some Fascism and bigotry there.

Me and God disagree on many issues.

That could be argued either way, really. It depends on how you wish to interpret it. Fascism isn't Christian because it elevates the State to an object of worship, however. It's a form of idolatry.
