Bonnie,
Having read most of Fredrick Von Hayek's book THE ROAD TO SERFDOM I
believe there is a fairly accurate definition of Fascism.
As I recall Mussolini was a communist party worker in Italy at the time
the Italian veterans came home. He wanted the communist party to represent
the views of these veterans as he felt there would be a political advantage
to doing so. He was turned down by the communist party but felt very deeply
he was right. He renamed himself a fascist and proceeded to gain political
power. So far as I know Mussolini changed his label, changed some details of
his program but never changed his core beliefs from communism.
With this mind I have to ask; in what way does the economy of the U. S.
follow the tenents of Fascism?
