After reading this piece I was wondering if there were any examples of a fascist state that were deposed by peace, or whether armed conflict is now inevitable.

There are few, Spain's King Juan Carlos I being crowned king after Francisco Franco's death, and Chile's Pinochet leaving power after the 1988 referendum for example.

I think Spain transitioned from fascist dictatorship to democracy relatively peacefully.

If 15 years of dictatorship is one of the few positive examples, that is not a good sign.

Well how many examples have there been anyway? Maybe six, under a range of definitions? Besides, historicism (inevitabilism) is wrong.

I agree, and I wish I was able to delete the post. I thought afterwards the question itself is a little poor taste.
