Pinochet was a free market fascist, so state intervention is not really inherent to fascism, and of course all states intervene in the economy in various ways. If there's an essence of fascism that makes it unique, it's the narrative element. "we" are under threat, we need a national rebirth to purify our culture, that sort of thing.

This is the definition I'm drawing from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palingenetic_ultranationalis...
