Fascism always needs an enemy/excuse/scapegoat, and if it can’t find one it makes one out of thin air.

It can’t actually solve societal problems, that requires progressives.

I don’t think this has ever actually been a critique. It solves societal problems in a way that many people don’t like while introducing others.
No, it doesn't solve any. You know this because of all the lying and child rape and murder. That's not how people who genuinely want to solve problems and improve society act.

It's basically just a power grab by a tiny fraction (< 1%) of the population against everyone else (including the rubes). And it doesn't make the rich happy either because we are social animals. It's better to be poor in Finland than super rich in Somalia.
