Fascism is putting people before profit, making a nation state work for the benefit of its people. This includes preserving the culture, identity, and the environment.

Capitalism and communism are two faces of the same coin: they both make the economy rule over people. They are materialistic worldviews for which the organization of the means of production is the only thing that matters.

I’m well aware of what fascism actually is. I always found it funny how everybody misinterprets what it is to simply be a merger of the corporations and state, as if fascism is corporations dictating state policy when fascism is the polar opposite. Corporatocracy is what results out of capitalism without limits, the corporate mergers lead to so much wealth and corporate power that they basically become the state, and if they buy enough politicians, they do in fact become the state so only their needs are met. Fascism is the removal of corporate and oligarch power, the state dictates what the people’s needs are, and any oligarch or corporation who gets in the way of what’s best for the people will either be shutdown or nationalized so it will run in consonance with the people’s needs.

You are well informed. *Corporatocracy* is the correct term.

The misconception exists because when Mussolini talked, in Italian, about "corporativismo", in English it was translated as *corporatism* which in English sounds similar to "corporation". So all the imbeciles in the English speaking world started to think that it's about giving power to corporations.

Corporatism is the system in which representatives of labor, employers, and the state (the latter representing the collective interests of the nation) come together to negotiate and agree the conditions of employment and economic activities. It's Mussolini's way to overcome the class warfare theorized by Marx, which in capitalism is resolved by the free market.

So ironically capitalism is closer to Marx than fascism is, even in the economy.
