Capitalists cannot, by definition be fascists. Most Capitalists are right wing conservatives.
Here's a breakdown of "FASCISM" that's been provided to me by Dan, a friend of mine.

Fascism is a Left-Wing Political Philosophy,
Not Right-Wing
February 15, 2017 Chase Rachels
So I’ve been trying to come up with a
meaningful and
concrete definition of “fascism”. The clearest ones I came
across were from
Urban Dictionary (believe it or not) and Websters. The Urban
Dictionary states
the following:
“Fascism"
The only official definition of Fascism comes
from Benito
Mussolini, the founder of fascism, in which he outlines three
principles of a
fascist philosophy.
1.”Everything in the state”. The Government
is supreme and
the country is all-encompassing, and all within it must conform
to the ruling
body, often a dictator.
2.”Nothing outside the state”. The country
must grow and the
implied goal of any fascist nation is to rule the world, and
have every human
submit to the government.
3.”Nothing against the state”. Any type of
questioning the
government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our
way, you are
wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be
allowed to live
and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.
The use of militarism was implied only as a
means to
accomplish one of the three above principles, mainly to keep the
people and
rest of the world in line. Fascist countries are known for their
harmony and
lack of internal strife. There are no conflicting parties or
elections in
fascist countries.”
Webster defines Fascism as:
“a political philosophy, movement, or regime
(as that of the
Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual
and that
stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a
dictatorial leader,
severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible
suppression of
opposition”
To provide contrast, Google defines
“Capitalism” as
(Investopedia and Webster have similar definitions):
“an economic and political system in which a
country’s trade
and industry are controlled by private owners for profit,
***rather than by the
state***”
Keep in mind these aren’t sources partial to
the left or
right. Now, the clearest distinction I know of between “left
wing” and “right
wing” is that the left leans more socialist whereas the right
leans more
capitalist.
From this we may confidently conclude that
fascism, contrary
to popular belief, is in fact a left-wing political philosophy.
So any person
who favors capitalism to socialism cannot be considered
“fascist”. Keep this in
mind before you label everyone you dislike as “fascist”.
