A further issue in this respect is that there is not a very good example of Fascist nations to really draw an example from to say if it works or not. Of those that typically fell within the general umbrella of Fascism, we could maybe get a handfull or two. Of these countries, they were almost immediately subjugated to the most damaging war in history against millions of other people.
Fascism has sincerely been tried, so I'm not stupid enough to say "Nazis don't count", but it's hard to see how much of that is the ideology itself, and how much is fighting a two front war ater only existing for a few years.
While many of their ideas were treated seriously in early Spain, it would be more adept to call it a heavily conservative militaristic capitalistic system.
Which is much different than the Spanish Fascists had originally wanted, but when fighting a civil war in massive ideological coalitions, concessions are made.
