Fascism is not a common ideology in Germany or Japan so I would say it was defeated both militarily and ideologically as the remaining Fascists in Europe fell on their own accord, Spain for example and South America. Some people in Germany do see Fascism favorably but no different than people in Russia see Communism favorably, however they are a minority.

The Communists and Marists are urban city dwellers who have college education and se themselves a superior to all other parts of society. In order to take power they went after a part of society which they saw as the bottom class and who had wealth and power, they called them KULAKS which are farm owners and land owners working in agriculture. The problem? That was the food suppler and as they took over the land ownership the so called KULAKS had no more incentive to work their land as it was not theirs and so food production collapsed. A human being needs reason to work hard other than to survive they need incentive to personally strive for success and farmers don't want to rise up ranks, they don't want to become higher tier tanking of some sort they just want to own their land, it's really that simple and the Marxist and Communists did not figure it out and lead to massive FAMINES when millions of city dwellers, the communists and Marxists themselves starved to death. Eventually Stalin rose to power who just out wright distributed city dwellers to the farm land to supervise the farmers in Ukraine which lead to the farmers starving and dying in the millions mostly in Ukraine this event is called the HOLODOMOR. The same events and outcomes took place in China under MAO but on a much larger scale there have been accounts from Communist Party members who later exposed the situation to the world. They even have written books about it.

Mussolini was not Hitler that is for sure he imprisoned or killed some 2000 opponents and ruled over the cultures and peoples of Italy by force as a Tyrant. Keep in mind that Italy is not 1 people, the people of Po Valley are totally different from people of Sicily and different form people of Rome and people of Venice and Naples, Italy is a group of cultures and people who are very different from each other and Italy as a single country only came to be around 1861 under Napoleon. So Italy is overall a younger country, younger than USA for example.

Well that is the world we live in, if you make up your own view of history or narrative you just end up turning in to North Korea as you simply look out of the window and you see totally different history and reality so you have to close up shop and be self-contained and alone in the world to make your view of history work. I have to say that's a fucking bad way to do it. Becoming a hermit just to believe your own view is a sad reality to create. The best is to open up the world as it is as wide as possible, be exposed to reality for all its faults and strengths and find a path you can see eye to eye with from that chaos and noise. A person who is unhappy with life will not be a patriot or conservative or main stream Liberal or Progressive and tends to fall in to the realm of Anarchists which do harm to society and themselves rather than impact the Government in anyway as it will ALWAYS bounce right back. So the alternative option is Libertarianism and that has worked wonders for a lot of people. It gives you an outlet for frustration, a framework that avoid getting in to trouble and harming others and society and an ideological and mental clarity to navigate the world with. I think it puts people at peace with themselves and the world. That is my personal way to do it.

If you walked on a College campus you will know why he brings it up, they fucking think we are in 1955 they spread Marxism ideas as if we were in 1917 in Russia. Take from the Rich, kill the Rich, eat the Rich, oh fuuuuuccckk we are all starving now. Oh well, eating grass will do.

@salzigerfranz1291 Well Augusto Pinochet was incredibly violent and a very strong proponent of Fascism as an ideology not just as a tool to take power. I read some really deep books on Pinochet it is a very great window in to the mind of Fascism.
