Classical Fascists/Italian-style Fascists tend to dislike Hitler calling him not a Fascist, but a curropter of the ideology. Even Mussolini the "Father of Fascism" hated Hitler, he was simply afraid of him, basically forced into an alliance. So, with that said. Imagine Hitler dies in WW1, no Hitler, No Nazi Party ect. What would Fascism be seen like today?

Mind you, Fascism was praised all over the world before the late 30's when Mussolini started aligning himself with Hitler. So please take that into account.

(If you've already seen my post in Before 1900 I'm reposting it here because I realized I posted it in the wrong poll, sorry)
 
It would largely depend on how successful Italy and Spain were post Depression. I mean post WW2 Spain was hardly a world power, so if it ended up similar in Italy it'd likely be seen much the same as Communism is seen today. As a system that makes for a good theory, but often doesn't pan out in practice.
 
(Reposting from your thread in Before 1900):

It'd be a useful anti-communist/anti-socialist tool, and be popular throughout underdeveloped parts of the world in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

If communism arises, fascism would be painted as "defending traditional and patriotic values and national pride against the Red Menace" (much like Islamism was utilised against the Soviets in the Cold War).
 
There'd still be quite an element of Anti-semitism and it would only be a matter of time till someone attempts something atrocious though probably nothing on the scale Hitler did.
