Mussolini was trying to push that particular economic agenda at the time he said that. He is generally credited with being the father of modern fascism, but Mussolini himself waffled between different economic policies as he rose to power and led Italy through WWII.
You can be a fascist and an oligarch, socialist, communist, capitalist, etc…
The soviets did not merge corporate and state power, they abolished the bourgeois state and established a socialist state. The fascist route would have been to support the Provisional Government protecting bourgeois interests.
Fascism is a form of capitalism, aka corpratism
Uhhh, that is some wild oversimplification
Like, we’re probably sharing the same sentiment all in all, but shut up
That’s exactly how Mussolini described it actually. Don’t believe me, read the wiki
Fascism is economically agnostic.
Corporations only exist within the capitalist model
So Stalin was a corporatist?

No, Stalin was a dictator, and authoritarian (like all states are). You’re mixing up facism and authoritarianism maybe?
I’m curious what you think fascism actually is.

I wish liberals would learn that fascism isn’t just a synonym for “thing I don’t like”
