Behind the Bastards had a different take. A lot of fascist movements get wierdly focussed on futurism and try to portray their movements as belonging in said future. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact episodes this was mentioned

Makes sense when you think about it

You're running an oppressive dictatorship. You still need enough people to support you to keep the thing going. What do you do? Make a bunch of people believe you're going to improve their lives. How do you do that? First, you find an enemy to blame for everything. For Nazi Germany it was Jews, for the US now it's mostly Latinos, but really all foreigners. But that alone might not be enough. So what else do you do? Pretend you're doing everything economically and technologically to make things better for "the right people".

Ooh yes I think this was mentioned in one of the nazi germany episodes, where they really had a thing for electricity. Maybe the next person can narrow it down further.
