Socialism is between Capitalism and Communism, but is still a decaying form of Capitalism, regardless.

Fascism isn't an economic ideology, and has been known to adopt various economic theories on both the left and right, most notably: National Socialism.

All nations are a mix of socialism and capitalism, leaning different ways depending on the issue. Socialism is a process, like science, and can be used for good and/or evil. We are living in wicked days.

Fascism is the merger of government and corporations, according to Mussolini. There are fasces on the money, on Lincoln's throne, and in the Capital. It's fundamentally American.

Yeah, Socialism and Capitalism exist on an the axis of Materialism, where the left is more socialist, and the right is more capitalist.

Mussolini's vision of Fascism was a strictly corporatist one, however, it's unfair to assume that all Fascists would embrace such a system, or especially that all who embrace such a system are Fascist.

The fasces in American symbolism have nothing to do with Fascism; fasces where used back in Ancient Rome — and even earlier than that — to symbolize law and order. This is why it was adopted by Fascists, but it's also why it was adopted by America, the difference is how the two view law and order.

It's all about the collective tyranny over the minority. Whether that's a "justice" system, politics, tyranny, status quo, a mob, or a family with a black sheep.
