Holy loaded question, Batman! For what it's worth, yes I have also characterized that mingling of corpo and bureaucratic government power as fascism. But I wasn't surprised by the upper class's embrace of bureaucratic authoritarianism, as it provided the stable foundation upon which they were able to thrive. Autocratic authoritarianism is right on target of the original definition of that word "fascism" though, rather than having to stretch a bit. And with autocratic authoritarianism, red in tooth and claw, now running our society into the ground, I'm certainly not going to wax nihilistically about "both sides".
