Agreed. "Starship Troopers" isn't fascist fantasy. It's certainly jingoistic, and jingoism and facism share some highly visible traits, but jingoism is not facism. Paul Veerhoven's film adaptation on the other hand very much is a fascist fantasy. Except it isn't. It's a satire of fascism and Nazism.
As for "Friday" being rape fantasy. No. Hardly. As with "Starship Troopers" being a fascist fantasy I think this is another case of finding something if you look hard enough for it.
