Fascists can also control the means of production.
"In view of the fact that private organisation of production is a function of national concern, the organiser of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production.
State intervention in economic production arises...when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management."
-- Benito Mussolini, Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions, 1935

A few folks on here seem to think that only socialists and communists are into nationalisation. This is false. Fascism is totalitarian, to use Mussolini's own term. This means *every* aspect of society and the economy is made to serve the interests of the State. Seizing whole industries is considered acceptable if it furthers the fascist political agenda. So the Trump admin now owns a stake in Intel? Remember that today's Republicans are about as "libertarian" as the Nazis were socialist.
