Well you know regulation was another characteristic of Fascist governments........
And certainly regulation is not part of a true Free Market.
It seems to me that your support of a 'Free Market' is really just whatever you agree with personally, not really having anything to do with Fascism or Free Markets themselves.
Fascism is essentially the rejection of a free-market economy in which private ownership exists, but they do NOT have the freedom to necessarily determine how much they're allowed to charge for a product or service, how much they must pay their employees, how much profit they're permitted to make, etc.
Having safety regulations that apply to ALL companies does not render an economic system as "fascist". Otherwise, every economy in the world could be called "fascist".

Because you hate Trump so deeply, any negative comment about him is automatically true, correct?
One of the defining characteristics of every Fascist government is the attempt to control the Press and control what information the population is able to get.
Fake news has been enabling fascism for a whole century
As anti-fascist thinker Alexandre Koyré (quoted in the essay) writes:
The official philosophies of totalitarian regimes identify unanimously as devoid of meaning the idea that there is only one objective truth […] this way myth is better than science and rhetoric that works on rooted beliefs preferable to intellectual reasoning.
“[Under fascism] the truth was embodied by the leader,” Finchelstein told Quartz, and this is replicated, although in a milder fashion, by populists. Fascism eventually gets rid of a free press, as it does of democracy, while populism simply attacks it as an “enemy of the people.”
Disinformation, you know, "lying", has been a mainstay of totalitarian regimes for thousands of years. That's not exclusive to fascist regimes. Hell, we have a democratic system of governance and we're inundated with "fake news" from leftist media on a daily basis. Take the tale of "Russian collusion" for instance. We had two years of that and, in the end, there was absolutely nothing there. And NONE of the major news outlets ever criticized the "investigation" that was based on garbage information. Real journalism doesn't exist at places like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NY Times, WaPo, etc., etc. etc. They're all virtual mouth-pieces of the Democratic Party.
(as opposed to what he was given by Daddy, or inherited from Daddy)
Are you claiming that all of Trump's wealth was inherited rather than grown? If so, do you have a credible citation?
Reminder, this is the "Clean Debate Zone".
True. Fascism permits private ownership, but not necessarily private management.
