Yes I know that fascism 
is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it.

Not completely true, since AoE II (not sure if another game had it before AoE) there has been the "Wonder" victory condition. You can look at it as "defending your wholesome chungus enlightened monument of civilization from outside hordes" but that's still a different reactionary fantasy from the Manifest Destiny war machine.
Fair, but no one ever goes for a wonder victory unless they're playing with noobs or kids lol. It's too difficult to pull off against someone who knows how to play the military strategy.
And again, I don't think AoE is necessarily fascist, but the playstyle it asks in competitive mode kinda pushes you towards that type of thought. Not unlike games like Call of Duty or anything except in RTS games you're controlling a society instead of an individual which makes it a bit different.
