It is NOT a bully. Fascism include patriotism and nationalism to remind people of the virtue of duty to their nation. The welfare of the people is its top priority. It works with existing social structures, instead of destroying them. It focuses on making each individual the best he can be. Fascism obeys natural law.
Fascist movements are very different from military dictatorships. They seek to enlist rather than exclude the masses. They occasionally collapse the distinction between the public and private sphere when appropriate. It eliminates selfish and heartless capitalism while strongly supporting private enterprise. One can grow very rich under fascism, but they must provide something very important to the people to do so.
