After reading this piece I was wondering if there were any examples of a fascist state that were deposed by peace, or whether armed conflict is now inevitable.

There are few, Spain's King Juan Carlos I being crowned king after Francisco Franco's death, and Chile's Pinochet leaving power after the 1988 referendum for example.

If 15 years of dictatorship is one of the few positive examples, that is not a good sign.

I think Spain transitioned from fascist dictatorship to democracy relatively peacefully.
