Fascist states are extremely unstable and no capitalist class would opt for such a state except under extreme pressure from a powerful working-class movement which could not be controlled by any other means.
I agree with Carrol that a scare about "Fascism in the USA!" is usually a way to make supporting the Democratic Party palatable. But if the rise of a fascist state presupposes a powerful working-class movement, we'd have to come to a conclusion that Japan at the height of its imperialism (from the February 26 Incident to the end of WW2) wasn't fascist.
