Under Fascism private ownership is allowed and a limited form of capitalism is permitted.

As long as they determine that it benefits the State. But there is no concept of property rights under Fascism, the government might temporarily allow you the benefits of ownership, but it could take it away at the drop of a hat. China most closely fits your definition of "Fascism."

But there is no concept of property rights under Fascism,

From the beginning of Germany's National Socialist period German industrial Conglomerates Krup, IG Farben, Flick KG, Bayer, Siemens, Daimler-Benz, Ford, and Robert Bosch were private corporations, conglomerates, and trusts which formed the basis of industrial production supporting Hitler's militarization. There was close coordination between these private industries and the Nazi Government. To coin a phrase, they were Germany's "Military Industrial Complex" and they were operated for profit under civilian direction supplying war material. After WWII several corporate directors were charged with "War Crimes" and were tried by the US Military at the "Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals". Charges were made against those using Slave labor, others were charged with providing funds to the Nazi government. (Winners get to write the rules...)

the government might temporarily allow you the benefits of ownership, but it could take it away at the drop of a hat.

That is true of every form of government, Communist, Fascism, Democratic, Constitutional Republic as well. If you don't believe me try not paying your property taxes. The USSC has decided that "Eminent Domain" extends to a municipality and allows it to seize your home to build a strip mall "for the common good" (increased tax base) don't cha know? Perhaps it would be more accurate to say "Any government might temporarily allow you the benefits of ownership, but it could take it away at the drop of a hat."

China most closely fits your definition of "Fascism."

I believe I explicitly said that in my original post...
