Fascism in the United States

Over the past few years, I've been saying the US is suffering from a soft form of fascism. Corporations and Government are intertwined to a point that the people no longer have a voice in their government. Mussolini defined fascism as such:
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
This in itself would qualify the US government as a fascist state. But let's take a look at other Mussolini quotes:
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
Check.
Fascism denies, in democracy, the absur[d] conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of "happiness" and indefinite progress
Check.
