Insofar as we're discussing fascist (or its younger cousin Nazi) philosophy, I don't have an issue. A few nitpicks but nothing significant.

The primary issue is in practice, you still get a wide variety of "quality" of leadership.

Hitler's example set a high bar (well...minus the invasion of the SU that led to his state's demise, although I suppose you could argue if he didn't invade the outcome would have been the same/even worse as Stalin had devious plans) in terms of dealing with (((international finance))) and what social/economic policies work.

Hitler was kind of like...maybe a 1 in 200 yr occurrence lol.

Other European fascist leaders have mostly been mediocre/disappointing - Mussolini for example had some decent economic policies but didn't deal with the elephant in the room. IIRC he did deport/jail some Jews but only to show solidarity with Germany, not because he cared about the problem.

If I were to, for example, argue on the side of liberal democracy, I would choose a country like Switzerland or Denmark to make my case. I wouldn't pick a basket case like the USA or Brazil. Same w/ fascism.
