No it isn't, which is why the man himself identified as a eugenicist. For starters there is the obvious (scientifically wrong) idea of tying complex, abstract beliefs to identifiable genes ('marxist genes' etc), there's the identical goal, in his own terms "improving the spanish racial body and ridding it of bad elements", the only difference is the means which he dubbed 'environmental eugenics', which is to say eugenics by the means of Lamarck instead of Mendel.
These forms of eugenics that stop one level before literal Nazi Lebensborn programs are by no means less vile and came in many different forms during the 19th and 20th century. They're no less deserving of the label.
