>>22687515National Socialism was a failure and even without the intervention of Liberal Democracies, I doubt it would have produced much to compare with the older Christian Monarchies.
At the very least, German NatSoc was destroyed so we will never know the long term outcomes.
However in places like Portugal where fascists held power long term, they really didn’t have any idea on how to sustain that power into the distant future once the old leadership died or retired.
I see this as a fundamental failure of the fascist system to successfully differentiate itself from Liberalism, thus it slowly eroded back to the Liberal median.
Same thing in Argentina where the fascists were far more successful, to the point of enacting long term political change past one generation.
However the Peronism of Argentina also eroded back towards the petty nepotism and general Liberalism we see in modern Argentina.
This is because Fascism is just an extreme form of “war” liberalism that if left alone for long enough will simply revert back to a more moderate liberal form.
Ironically the Communists eroded in the opposite direction and became more aristocratic and authoritarian due to the firm anti-liberal nature of their system.
I don’t see how Hitler could have done better, and while I respect him for having some sort of positive vision, he was still a modernist and a Liberal, thus I have major doubts about the long term effacy of his or his party’s rule.
