It has the potential to work out, if the person(s) in power are particularly benevolent... or particularly effective. Hitler was neither, and thus I would say he serves as only an example of an incompetent buffoon in power.
'Fascism' as a term not having existed until Mussolini, it would probably be difficult to find self-identified fascist regimes being either one of these things... especially with the current standing of nations, and nonsense like 'the Geneva Convention' hanging around.
I wouldn't even consider Hilter (as the example put forward) to be a bad person. Mostly, I'd say he was a misguided person, with a nonperfect grasp of PR.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
