I was about to agree with you but then I reread the statement you responded to and it's:

Yeah fascism really ended in 1945 /s

So your suggestion is to put it:

fascists really ended in 1945

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a native speaker but that's a weird phrasing. For me it implies (or rather implicates) that all fascists ended because to end is a very strong verb semantically when applied to humans. And honestly, I wouldn't use it at all.

In internet slang the /s means they were making a sarcastic statement, so they were being sarcastic when they said "Yeah fascism really ended in 1945 /s".

I meant in the original post haha. Since their comment was that fascism didn't end in 1945. If the post had said "winning against fascists", it would make more logical sense
