Fascism started in Italy and then spread to Germany, where it was more effective. Romania and Hungary also adopted fascism, and Spain underwent civil war that resulted in a fascist government. Croatia also held a puppet fascist government. Many other countries, such as Portugal, held a military Dictatorship that acted somewhat like fascism.
Fascism is not a political choice, like democracy or communism.

Benito Mussolini is usually credited with writing The Doctrine of Fascism (though many scholars believe he didn't write it, but was called the author because he was the party leader). This book is the first, and really the only book about fascist theory. [Hitler's Mein Kampf is not about fascism.]

Assuming that the question is asking about political parties, fascism only permits ONE POLITICAL PARTY.
Fascism is a political system, not a religion.
Mussolini claims that fascism is the characteristic doctrine of his time because it embodies the spirit of the modern age, emphasizing strong leadership, national unity, and the rejection of individualism in favor of collective identity. He believes that fascism addresses the socio-political challenges of the early 20th century by promoting a powerful state that can effectively respond to crises and assert national interests. By positioning fascism as a dynamic and adaptive ideology, Mussolini seeks to align it with the needs and aspirations of contemporary society, asserting its relevance and necessity in a rapidly changing world.
Spain is neither a fascist nor a communist government; it is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The country has a democratic political system, with multiple political parties representing a range of ideologies, including social democracy, liberalism, and conservatism. The legacy of fascism during the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975) has shaped modern Spain, but since transitioning to democracy, it has embraced democratic norms and practices.
Fascism was a popular political philosophy in the 1930's and was embraced by the leaders of Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, France(Petain), Italy, Japan, Brazil(Vargas), China (Chiang Kai shek), Hungary, Romania, Croatia(Ante Pavelić) and Greece(Metaxas). Fascist Politicians worked well with some Monarchies, and in some cases the government appears to be a Monarchy, but in fact under the covers, it is a Fascist dictatorship. This was the case in Romania and Japan.
