He only fought the Italian fascists because they made territorial and political demands which, if he had acceded to them would have finished what up to then had not been a very popular regime that had many fascist hallmarks of its own. His popularity arises from the fact that he beat the shit out of Benitto. T He died before the main event, ie the German Nazi invasion. But for Benitto's balls-up, Greece would not have joined the war, at least not in 1940 on the side of the Allies.
Stalin fought the facists and Nazis too, but that does not make him a good man, or any sort of a political role model, indeed he was probably more evil than Hitler as he killed more of his own people and again he only fought because Hitler invaded the then USSR.
Why did he collaborate with the Brits and Americans, then?
Metaxas was not a great leader just because he fought against the Italians, but primarily because he created the Greek social welfare system.
It could be easier for you to study the actual facts and not try to make them up in this cheap doggy way.
