Fascism And Hags

Premiere man Glenn Kenny has called 300 "the most overtly fascist Hollywood film thing to come out of the North American movie industry since, oh, I dunno, Robocop 2", all the whole speaking in defense of Erik Davis, who has been taking a beating for comparing the film to Showgirls.

I can believe it on both counts. The question remains, however, how well made a fascist thing is it exactly?
