there are a number of areas in the U.S. economy that are considered fascistic, fascism with a light touch.
example: in the automobile industry and refining industry,, these are regulated. fuel cafe standards, gas mileage standards, and forced addition of ethanol into gasoline.

this is the govt. telling businesses what they must make or they get fined.
the addition of ethanol blends into gasoline is fascist.
arbitrary gas mileage for vehicles which leads to safety issues with cars.
setting Fuel CAFE standard is a legitimate govt. regulation when dealing with smog.
however, its still fascist. the govt. mandates 20 different blends on the market.
