I think that Mussolini is a reasonable authority on fascism. Further, there are appealing ideas about the theory. The idea of a philosopher king, and a civilization of the same is attractive. Even before the war in the Germany things were far from perfect. The two tier justice system was already growing. Two tier wealth system was in effect. They were just men and women, and they were not perfect. Hitler had expansionist dreams, he wrote about it. Primary sources. Fascism has a technical definition, and that is what I'm referring to.
