Corporatism that Mussolini was speaking of (though this direct quote can't be attributed to him) is a return to the guild system, not corporations as we would think of them.
Shit still goes hard, though. Just needed to satisfy the itch to get to the bottom of the quote.
Can confirm, I own a 1964 Websters Dictionary, and it defines Fascism as
A totalitarian form of government in Italy administered by the Fascisti (A political organization) which advocated the building of a highly nationalistic state, recognizing private ownership except when he state determined otherwise.
Proof
Honestly mad props on taking this as an opportunity to flex that you own a dictionary from 1964.
Those opportunities are rare to find, and anyone who says it's not cool is just jealous.
As usual, leaving-out some key history:
Marcus Garvey, a Black African, claimed that HE invented fascism, & Mussolini stole it.
Marcus Garvey wanted segregated North America & Africa, & was willing to work with the KKK to achieve that.
White "history" that systematically leaves-out the nonwhite parts .. isn't good-enough.
Accuracy is better.

I just read about Marcus Garvey and I have absolutely no idea why you are conflating his Black Nationalist views with Fascism. I gave your statement the benefit of the doubt before reading about him, and now I regret that.
Fascism is not some nebulous term. It isn't "working with your enemies." It's a system designed to fully repress the proletariat in favor of capital. It does this in a number of measurable ways. I am truly at a loss for why you brought this up.
Marcus Garvey, a Black African, claimed that HE invented fascism, & Mussolini stole it.
Huh, never heard of him.
Marcus Garvey wanted segregated North America & Africa, & was willing to work with the KKK to achieve that.
That’s what the founders of Zionism did as well.
