the Soviet Union’s 70 years was not a good test because they had the good old USA under Reagan pushing them in a way that no one would push us in todays world.

If it wasn't for the intercession of World War II, The Soviet system would have collapsed by 1960.

Could be true. They were in trouble pre-WWII like the USA was?

I’m basing my idea of a more resilient fascist economic system on Pinochet’s Chile, S. Korea’s economy during the military governments reign, etc. But these have not been tested in modern times long term to my knowledge, so the system may be just as unstable as the communist system.
