Fascism is often misunderstood, basically because of the association with Hitler and Germany during WWII, but fascism has a meaning -- basically, it's, as is written in the above article, socialism under the guise of capitalism. The article linked above from Mises does a good job of explaining how this form of statism is unviable -- although we call our system a mixed economy, we should be very concerned that we aren't headed for complete authoritarian capitalism.
