Before WWII, most people thought they would never earn enough money to pay income taxes and government spending was so restricted it didn't need the tax money it consumes today. The discussion of fascism should begin with Hoover's and Roosevelt's reorganization of government, and the hugh increase in bureaucracies, giving goverment hugh amounts of power it never had before, and then discussion of how the second war influeneced the increase of bureaucracies and the power they hold.

You're entirely neglecting (as the obvious key motivation) the Great Depression, which impoverished and traumatized an entire generation, well before Hitler even came to power.
If you had been Roosevelt, what would
you have done?
