I heard Richard Wolff give an economic definition/model for Fascism last week, using the Nazi Germany, from Weimar, transition...that said there several working definitions of fascism. National Socialism in Germany being often used interchangably - cause it has been the most successful up to now - into the beginning of its 4th (Crypto-)Reich seemingly. And a UNIFIED GERMANY presses for the equivalent of the (proposed) treaty of Brest-Litovsk - in the Ukraine. So ...hard to say that it is ineffective.
