I think the driving desire for purpose is not exclusive to delivery drivers without girlfriends. Fascism is compelling because it seems to fill that void. The power element is simply a byproduct. This is also why all ideologies which purport to offer meaning struggle to coexist with other ideologies with the same goal.

Purpose is only a component of what fascism is about.

Wielding power - owed power - is certainly not a byproduct of fascism. Its the core promise of the ideology to its "chosen" people.
