Worked fairly well for the UK from what I've seen, same with Germany (after being co-opted by the Nazis), various other places in North and West Europe (minus a few places), and modern Japan. Oh, and how did the revolutionary union movement work out for you in Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, Greece, and Romania?
My point is that you're talking about getting rid of Representative Democracy with political campaigns to shift what the subordinate organizations represented are. Again, you're not doing a very good case of disproving that you like Democracy.
And how did that work out?

What? You are aware that Fascism never came to power anywhere without first disseminating its views and forming social groups to organise people, right? To again re-use the Japanese example, they were propagating their material in door-to-door visits and through civic groups, as early as 1910. It would take twenty years or more of seeding ideas in order to gather the sort of momentum necessary to be swept into a position where they could take power in the late 1930s.
