Very close, but you forgot one important component, and that's corporatism. Fascism was invented by the Italians during World War One. Mussolini specifically defined that in a fascist state, the government is a business, it is a corporation, unlike a communist state, the government does not give resources to the people but rather sell them.

Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce[3] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I before it spread to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[5][6][7][4][8][9] thats from wikipedia

The US is permanently at war now.
Xuan12 · 36-40, M
@Crazywaterspring True, but the US doesn't fit a lot of the other patterns of a fascist regime.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
True. But aspects are troubling. Like the dominance of Wall Street and the "War on Drugs" (tm).

I think fascism is based upon the corporate state
Xuan12 · 36-40, M
@TheJollyroger I think the corporations are definitely willing to play along and cash in. But I also think the state and the corporations will turn on each other when things start looking bad.

That's more of a description of an extreme fascist government. They come in many degrees and one can even have fascist elements without being pure fascist. The only thing that makes something fascist is authoritarian nationalism utilizing control over industries and especially the media to cement power. Pretty simple descriptor.
Xuan12 · 36-40, M
@UndeadPrivateer Yeah, elements of fascist regimes can appear in other governments.
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@Xuan12 Politics, never straightforward. Hah.
