fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/
noun A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Thank you. It's like people forget what fascism is and try to cover it up with a new, dumb word that means the same thing.
This is obviously what trump & co want. But corporations using their influence to control government officials definitely seems like corporatocracy.
Mussolini, the fascist, brought exactly that to Italy.
Mussolini, fun fact, was the guy who coined the term fascism.

Sound familiar?
The root of the issue is that the difference between the government and the major corporations is mostly academic at this point. They're trying to setup a fascist state except the role of the government is filled by the incestuous merger of politicians and corporate executives. Outside of that one difference it's absolutely fascism.
