I know what struggle means. What you say is not exclusive with the notion that violence is intrinsic to struggle in fascism. Violence is not only a universal practical tool of fascism to encourage in-group unity, which you seem to admit, and is not only preached by all fascists once in or close to power, which is easily verified. It is also a basic core belief. To paraphrase everyone's favourite Nazi, Carl Schmitt, all disagreements come down at the most fundamental level to basic convictions that are inalterable by dialogue or reason, thus all matters of real importance are only resolvable by force - physical or otherwise - and the only real distinction of importance is friend/enemy. This is core to fascist principles. It is not necessarily the conscious belief of the rank and file, who as I've said are mostly emotionally driven, but it's the underlying philosophy of the movement and its movers and shakers. On a practical level, this inevitably means violence.
I can see that as a fascist-curious person you're exhibiting some signs of this yourself. You are, however, talking to me like a human being and trying to reason with me, so you're fine by me. When I talk to a true blue fascist, they try to score rhetorical points if it's public, puff up their own ego if it's private, and if they can't do either of those turn completely dismissive and disinterested, because they truly DO NOT VALUE the debate on an intellectual level, only as a means of recruitment or self-aggrandisement.
