@arnar9478 "How do they differ mainly? I know Germany emphasized biological rac e more than the Italians, other than that they're quite similar."
Correct. National sociali sm was rac ial socia lism, based on "arya nism" and Hit ler's own ideas. They believed in the sociali zation of the German people into a harmonious rac ial community free from (jewi sh) exploitation.
Meanwhile fasc ism had no racial motive, and was an outgrowth of Sorellian Syndic alism, which itself was an outgrowth from Ma rxist socia lism. The idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the state, or "embody" the state (corpus = body). The purpose wasn't the promotion of private interest, but the centralization and synchronization of society under the state, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

@TheSwitchFrog "I'm sorry, but suggesting that fa sci sm not only allows the possibility of so cialis m at all, but formally adopts it as its mode of production may be one of the most insane political takes I've read "
Have you heard about a thing called national synd icalis m? That was how fa sci sm worked. You see f ascis m was a political ideology and philosophy which rejected individualism, cap italism, liberalism/demo cracy, and m arxi sm, in which the means of production was organized by national wor ker sy ndic als (i.e. tra de uni ons), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idea lism. According to the philosopher behind the fa sci st ideology, Giov anni Gentile:
"It is necessary to distinguish between so cialis m and so cialis m—in fact, between idea and idea of the same s ocia list conception, in order to distinguish among them those that are inimical to Fa scis m. It is well known that So rellia n syndi calis m, out of which the thought and the political method of Fa scis m emerged—conceived itself the genuine interpretation of M arx ist co mmuni sm. The dynamic conception of history, in which force as viol ence functions as an essential, is of unquestioned Ma rxi st origin. Those notions flowed into other currents of contemporary thought, that have themselves, via alternative routes, arrived at a vindication of the form of Sta te—implacable, but absolutely rational—that finds historic nec essity in the very spir itual dynamism through which it re alizes itself.“
— Giov anni Ge ntile, Che cosa è il fa scis mo: Discorsi e polemiche (“What is Fas cism ?”), Florence: Vallec chi, (1925) pp. 42-45, 47-48, 49-51, 56,Origins and Doctrine of Fas cism, A. James Gregor, translator and editor, Transaction Publishers, 2003, p. 59

@jocelyncooper1738 "Fascism is inherently far right"
Wrong. Fascism had nothing to do with Right wing of any kind whatsoever. Fascism was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, and marxist interpretation of socialism ("class warfare"). Instead, it advocated for class collaboration where the means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions / Fascist Corporatism), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism (Neo-Hegelianism).
Being an outgrowth of Sorelian Syndicalism, (which itself was an outgrowth from Marxist socialism), its idea was that society would be consolidated (i.e., incorporated) into syndicates (in the Italian context, fascio/fasci) which would be regulated by and serve as organs for the State, or "embody" the State (corpus = body). The purpose was the centralization and synchronization of society under the State, as an end unto itself. To quote Mussolini's infamous aphorism: "All within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State."
As finalized by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile ("the Doctrine of Fascism"), Fascism came from the belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its "dictatorship of the proletariat" cannot be achieved, and that only the State can properly organize a socialist society. Therefore, Fascism cared about unity in a strong central government with society being brought together by syndicalist organizations obedient to the State.

There is no Fascism in the US nor anywhere in the world currently whatsoever.

@rickfry6031 : First we should actually define what Fascism means; it was a totalitarian far-left, socialist 3rd position ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from a French Marxist, known as Georges Sorel. It rejected individualism, capitalism, liberalism, democracy, and marxist interpretation of socialism ("class warfare"). Instead, it advocated for class collaboration where the means of production was organized by national worker syndicals (i.e. trade unions / Fascist Corporatism), and the guiding philosophy of the state was Actual Idealism (Neo-Hegelianism).

@entalon : National Socialists had 'socialism' in the name, because they advocated for socialism on a national level, and believed that socialism can only be implemented via nationalism and antisemitism.
"The first three principles were clear, and they are inseparable from each other. Socialism as the final concept of duty, the ethical duty of work, not just for oneself but also for one’s fellow man’s sake, and above all the principle: Common good before own good, a struggle against all parasitism and especially against easy and unearned income. And we were aware that in this fight we can rely on no one but our own people. We are convinced that socialism in the right sense will only be possible in nations and races that are Aryan, and there in the first place we hope for our own people and are convinced that socialism is inseparable from nationalism.
To be nationalist does not mean for us to belong to one party or another, but to show with every action that one benefits the people; it means love for all the people without exception.From this point of view we will realize that it is necessary to preserve the most precious thing a people has, the sum of all active creative powers of its workers, to keep it healthy in body and soul. And this view of nationalism compels us to immediately form a front against its opposite, the Semitic conception of the idea of people (Volk), and especially against the Semitic concept of work. Since we are socialists, we must necessarily also be antisemites because we want to fight against the very opposite: materialism and mammonism.
And when today the Jew still runs into our factories and says: How can you be a socialist antisemite? Are not you ashamed? – there comes a time in which we will ask: How can you not be an antisemite, being a socialist! (Hear, hear) There comes a time when it will be obvious that socialism can only be carried out accompanied by nationalism and antisemitism. The three concepts are inseparably connected. They are the foundations of our program and therefore we call ourselves National Socialists."
— "Why We Are Anti-Semites" (August 15, 1920 speech in Munich at the Hofbräuhaus).
