Some claim that facism can lead to increased efficiency, as there is less bureaucratic red tape for business owners to work through when dealing with government. Additionally, facist leaders may be able to make quickly-enacted decisions and rally the people around a common cause which can give facists governments a leg up on the opposition in times of national emergency or war. Finally, many argue that it leads to greater discipline within society as laws are seen as non-negotiable, thereby reducing crime and other social problems.

No, there are no positive aspects to fascism. Fascism focuses on dictatorial control by one individual or group, with the use of violence and aggression to oppress others and maintain power. Any benefits seen under fascist regimes often become irrelevant when weighed against the totalitarian and dictatorial measures taken to ensure it's establishment. The only positive effects observed under a fascist regime would be seen in short-term goals such as a strong economy, military prowess, an effective police force/law enforcement or a decrease in domestic crime rates - though even these can come with serious costs as it erodes civil rights, human dignity and freedom for anyone subjected to it.
