They required external demolition, which suggests some intrinsic robustness. And the New Deal Regime is still with us.

Fascism only collapsed due to external demolition, and is robust. The Soviet Union decisively beat the largest military invasion in history and destroyed the vast majority of those regimes and was brittle. That makes sense.
