    Nah, then their society collapses once the war time economy can't benefit off war. That or exclude another group of people and go to war with them, but at this point you'll need a high birth rate so you can have cannon fodder for your cannons.

      That was basically my point. Fascism cannot exist without an existential "threat", an enemy.

      Hence the preoccupation with the eternal struggle and the final battle which are fundamentally at odds with one another. If they ever succeed they would split faster than the first international.

      Ironically Hitler's "final solution" had nothing to do with resolving the contradictions of the existing social order, it would have simply rearranged the existing order and retained the contradictions inherent to capitalism, thus inevitably resulting in more pogroms, more holocaust, more genocide.

      The fundamental conflict between fascism and communism is that both are answers to the contradictions of capitalism, but only through communism do we seek to solve those contradictions as opposed to reconfiguring and ultimately heightening them.
