It's a form of fascism, though not it's purest form. Fascism is also marked by Private profits and public losses: i.e bailouts.

thisusernameisalie (03/08/2013) [-] "Fascism operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. Their aim was to promote superior individuals and weed out the weak. In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise, because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise... Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social. Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest."
Socialism is the public ownership of the means of production, and public ownership of the good produced by said means.
Fascism has private ownership of the means of production but the government tells you what to do with it and how you could use the goods that come out of it. We have economic fascism right now, not Socialism. Fascism goes by many names, Corporatism, and Crony Capitalism just to name a few.

Hitler justified his action by giving the people's wealth back from the Jews, creating living space. Even though fascism is a form of social darwinism, it masquerades itself as being benign.
Fascism and Socialism does share many common features. According to Sheldon Richmen, an economist with econlib.org, "As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer."

thisusernameisalie (03/08/2013) [-] "Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society’s economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners. Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the “national interest”—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.) "

thisusernameisalie (03/08/2013) [-] "As an economic system, fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer. The word derives from fasces, the Roman symbol of collectivism and power: a tied bundle of rods with a protruding ax. In its day (the 1920s and 1930s), fascism was seen as the happy medium between boom-and-bust-prone liberal capitalism, with its alleged class conflict, wasteful competition, and profit-oriented egoism, and revolutionary Marxism, with its violent and socially divisive persecution of the bourgeoisie. Fascism substituted the particularity of nationalism and racialism—“blood and soil”—for the internationalism of both classical liberalism and Marxism."
