Fascism is political, fascist corporatism is economic. They aren't exclusive, but like I said before, just having government and corporations (business in general) merge is socialism.
Either you didn't read the link (and my commentary) or else you refuse to acknowledge the difference.

Totalitarianism and authoritarianism are political. Capitalism and socialism are economic. Mussolini's version (which generated the original concept) was essentially capitalist in its functioning. Hitler's was too, but he preached Socialism, and there is no denying that was the stated ideology of NAZI Germany.

As the Soviet Union and other communist regimes ultimately learned, you can't run a Socialist state without capital!


Here's another link.


Give this one a try. Maybe the difference will become clearer.

Found another link that is even more to the point: click here.
