Fascism was not put down in Germany and Italy by an internal immune response. It had its noggin stoved in by the USMC, RAF, the French resistance, and others who gave to topple it. Fanatical imperialism was not brought low in Japan by the men and women of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. It was done in by the efforts of the United States Navy and Air Force, the scientists back home, Chinese resistance, and the raw power of economics. Outside forces came on planes and ships because internal correctives were too weak-willed to push hard against burgeoning evil.
The lesson of history is that evil in the hearts of fellow Man have to be fought with good and insight. The alternative is violence, and it should be an absolute last resort when it is all we desperately have left.
