Do you find it odd that no country bans race-mixing [today]? And diversity as a whole is still legal?

Literally every country has to accept the doctrines of racial equality and equal rights in order to get access to international diplomatic and financial channels. Pre WW2 it was not unheard of for different nations and countries across the globe to ban miscegenation.

Cuba is under an embargo, because they switched from Capitalism to Socialism. Same with Venezuela. Yet neither country has actually come close to bending the knee on social-political beliefs they believe is true.

If there was even one country that thought racial purity is an irreplaceable element of their society, I would expect the same kind of national devotion and dogma to resist changing their culture. The fact you brought up pre-WW2 nations who also shared such feelings makes me question, why wouldn't these nations just form their own bloc or political union in retaliation?

Similar to how the Soviet Union developed its own alliance when NATO was created to suppress them. And even though they collapsed, it was still 46 years of them doing whatever they want, even against the much more formidable powers like the U.S.

After the fall of the NS Germany there weren't any powerful nations left that weren't under the fingers of NATO, the USSR, or the UN. If any state broke from the norm there would be bombings, foreign backed insurgencies, financial embargoes, all of which prevent a functioning society from existing. Look at how the whole world ganged up against Rhodesia and South Africa.

That was true for every side back then. Capitalism, Communism, even Islam. Iran was a pariah after they overthrew the Shah, and later found themselves at war with Iraq for 8 years, but they eventually survived.

Meanwhile, there where crypto-fascist countries who never got bombed or overthrown. Franco Spain & Nationalist Portugal lasted a long time after the Second World War. They only surrendering when the leader died from old age, or when the military budget grew too expensive and cutbacks were made.

Rhodesia however, was always screwed. They were completely landlocked and had to depend on Portugal to even get any supplies from overseas. South Africa however, at least tried to form a working alliance with other countries. Like Israel, ironically enough.

Ironic considering who sabotaged it from the inside
