You can look to the propaganda of the fascists if you like, but I prefer to look to the substance of what they did when it power, and the fact is they nationalized nothing, fascism was a society in which the economy was owned by an elite of corrupt capitalists who owned mega politically-connected corporations.

Mussolini for example said he wanted progressive taxation, nationalization of capital etc, but when in power this never happened, it never happened because although fascism makes nice rhetoric towards the workers, it's ultimately a tool of the capitalists.
