Cooperation has to serve the ego, individual and/or collective, or there will be no cooperation.
Think of it this way: some almost Fascists back in the day knew how that thing would end and/or play out and decided against cooperation.
Enough actual Fascists survived anyway and the narrative and their actions still serve the same conviction. Some are rich and influential and fascist as fuck while others live in delusions.
