In the UK a fascist movement took off at the same time as Nazism. It failed because their bullying tactics didn't wash with Brits, especially with what was going on in Germany. They were seen as the thugs they were, basically. Antifascists halted an attempted parade through the largely Jewish east end of London, "the Battle of Cable Street". After that the govt banned paramilitary uniforms etc. Once the war started of course that was it - the party was proscribed and most fascists were interned for the duration.

I bet their paramilitary uniforms were better looking than the flag-pants and facepaint the MAGA groups prefer.
