There is a reason german fascists named their movement National Socialism. Socialism is an economic concept that requires government control for it to be implemented. Socialism is a pre-existing requirement to create a Fascist regime.
You might think the US is far from that, but right now we are spending 36% of our GDP on federal, state and local government , and the remaining 64% is heavily regulated and controlled by the government. In fact, you can argue that the federal government already "owns" over 1/3 of all private businesses given it's right to 35% of all their profits.
