As for fascism - with very few exceptions (when you dig deep enough) extreme politics tend to be all about cash. The 'values' part is generally a ruse to win over the population and the cavalry.
There's a *lot* of money to be made through dehumanising and oppressing large swaths of the population.
So yes, with robust international mechanisms in place to equalise wealth, you'd change everything. Extreme politics would not have such a fertile soil to grow in.
