Science fiction is full of fascist governments, especially in the decades after World War II, but some of them just seem like more fun than others. But some scifi fascists don't seem like they would govern that well — for example, the BBC series Doctor Who clearly uses the cyborg Daleks as a metaphor for the Nazis, but you never see the Daleks making the trains run on time. Others, like Battlestar Galactica's Admiral Cain, seem as though they're actually quite efficient. If you had to live under a fascist regime from SF, which one would you prefer?
