That makes even less sense or do you think there aren't any fascists left? Fascism as a dominant ideology ended in countries that still (continuously to this have) have fascists in them.

Saying they defeated fascists doesn't imply there are no more fascists left.

I can say I hunted deer, that doesn't mean there are no more deer left in the wild.

By referring to "fascists" (the people) rather than fascism (the ideology) you narrow your description to more accurately present the scope of your statement. The German Nazi party were fascists. They were defeated. We defeated fascists that day. There are more fascists, but that doesn't mean we didn't fight and defeat some number of fascists.

Millions of Nazis were permanently cured of fascism through the noble efforts of the Allies. :)

You are making jokes about it but there is actually a measurement to proof this: a lot of former fascists got high positions in post war Germany in politics, economy, jurisdiction, media, ... and if a former fascist gets an influential position in a liberal democracy like post war Germany, there is no doubt they are cured. /s (if not obvious)

There's a much better measurement for how many were cured of Fascism
