But a tenant of NSDAP fascism was opposition to capitalism. The Nazi's saw corporate power as a threat to the well being of the state.

I think these days "fascism" has simply become synonymous with authoritarianism.

As a case in point, you regularly get people saying silly stuff like "fascism and communism are really the same thing" when the only thing they actually have in common is a propensity to resort to authoritarian rule.
