I've got to do some reading.

Basically under Fascism business, indeed everything, was subject to the directives of The Leader. Business that didn't would be seized and run in the interests of the Leader and The People.
Which means /not capitalism/ to lovers of definitions.
Of course such persons have told me that Maggie Thatcher, Winston S Churchill and Bismarck were socialists and some also believed that since he called his party the National Socialists Hitler must have been one.
So clarify what you mean by Mixed Capitalism and indeed by Communism and Socialism and the question will be clarified.
