It's a wild world we're in where the bloody neofascists are the less bloodthirsty parties- which frankly, they tend to be nowadays in the west. I assume it's because they actually tend to want their nations to stay intact and/or prosper (for white people only), if nothing else- whereas the neocons have no such loyalty or values for anything and would happily see the world, and even their own countries burn if it made them an extra buck to squirrel away to their bunkers and private islands if shit hits the fan.

Honestly, I think that's the path the US and much of the west is headed right now- either they win (and they have, granted, probably deluded themselves into thinking they will win) and continue their 500-year reign of westoid terror, or they collapse having extracted everything possible of value from even the imperial cores themselves. By their fiscal and foreign policies it really seems like that's the plan.

I think it's more a matter of the neofascists gaining power by appealing to populist tendencies.
