That would depend on the fine print wouldn't it. Fascism isn't all jackboots and midnight knocks on the door. Its also about protecting favored businesses and owners, by attaching them to the state. In the US, we've nationalized agriculture, steel, timber, and other industries at different times. Anytime we (Americans) sign a "free-trade" agreement that runs more than a couple pages its hardly free and reflects the favored positions of "essential" industries. Of course I shouldn't lecture a Chilean on that stuff, should I?
