The British empire committed far more atrocities than Nazi Germany could ever aspire to, and they did it all using a far more stable form for colonialism than fascism: parliamentary / bourgeios democracy.

The US genocided an entire continent under this model, something the nazis explicitly tried and failed to accomplish in eastern europe.

The only reason nazi germany is demonized while the british and US empires are not is because: nazi germany also attacked western europe (a big no-no), and that they lost (thanks to the USSR btw). So really all you can say about the fascists vs the other countries you mentioned is that fascism is a far less historically stable and successful model of government for colonialism, than parliamentary bourgeios democracy.
