Economically, Spain and Italy were pretty neutral. Germany a little less so. While the Soviet Union was collapsing on itself from socialism in the 1950s - 1970s, Spain was having a booming economy which was on of the best in the world. If it was not neutral, or close to neutral, it would have collapsed in the same way. Yet it didn't.

Spain lightened up its fascism. Italy was not economically neutral, but the culture of the Italians prevented Mussolini from really taking control, a fact that he continually lamented.
