I take slight issue with Fascism being excellence. Fascists often fetishize excellence in history, but fascism itself tends to be a neurotic reaction to perceived victimhood or humiliation. It's the vicious dog, snapping at anything that comes close, due to it being in an injured state. Cruelty, rather than an indication of strength, is a clear sign of weakness. Strong men don't belittle weak ones -- they either build them up, when it suits them or they ignore them. Fascists don't live by the ethos of "we'll be great;" they live by the ethos of "we'll be great, if only we can do away with <insert scapegoat here>." And don't get me wrong. I get it, Leftists HAVE done immense damage. The Fabian agenda has rotted out traditional values and taught people that the way to live is to find someone to convince to give you everything, or, if you're really ambitious, to go steal it from others yourself. But we shouldn't fool ourselves that reacting to that is greatness, any more than thrashing around while drowning would make us Michael Phelps. I get the apologism for fascism, particularly when it stands in for anything bad in the political sphere, despite far more deaths having been caused by both Communism AND Liberalism. But we can do better than simply adhere to the mirror image of the rot; the other collectivism. Give me Tokugawa Ieyasu, Alexander, or Alfred the Great over Benito Mussolini or Oswald Mosley any day. Men strong enough not to crush their enemies, but to integrate them. Not merely into nations, but into civilizations.
