A quote often misattributed to Mussolini. Under a fascist system "corporations" serve the state. What we have in America is the state serving the corporations.
while the definition is often muddled and complicated this one, from Wikipedia, should sound familiar:
"nationalist authoritarian goals of creating a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture; and a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth and charismatic leadership"

fascism is the merger of the corporate business interests and the state. That's exactly what has been happening in the US in recent decades.

I believe the correct term would be "Corporatism", but you're absolutely correct on everything else.
