I would argue "subject to stringent governmental controls" means it's no longer really capitalism

Denmark has a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls. I would argue that it is still capitalism and so would most danes.

But I agree with you that the definition from that dictionary is bad.

Yes authoritarian is the top-level umbrella, and fascism is a more narrow scope that is just certain types of authoritarianism.

Yes, I suppose that is one way to look at it. Communism is another more narrow scope that is just a certain type of authoritarianism. Communism doesn't suddenly become fascist just because they are both authoritarian. Many ideologies are authoritarian and that's why we have that word. Fascism is a type of authoritarianism and Communism is a type of authoritarianism.
