Yes. One-party autocracy is the government that requires strategies like fascist ideology and hypernationalism (and going to war) as part of their mechanism to quell unrest and discontent.
People don’t usually like it when they’re poor and eating cheap baloney on dry bread while the principle cabinet is swimming in champaign and banging the Lebensborn selectees.
But if it’s temporary while undesirables are hunted down, if it’s their patriotic duty and duty to their race to go to work every day, if there’s a war effort, then maybe they can hold out for a little longer.
Such regimes call themselves communist or democratic or whatever. But it is how they work that informs what they are, not the self-appointed label. Case in point the National Socialist German Workers Party, which wasn’t so great for the workers.
