FDR was actually sympathetic to Mussolini early on, but the New Deal had only some overlaps with Fascist policy. Trade unions were still independent (and grew a lot in the 1930s) rather than state-controlled, and of course the government was still a representative democracy rather than a single-party dictatorship.

A lot of liberal intellectuals (and the British Fabian Society) thought that the future of society would be oriented towards a balanced relationship between labor, capital, and the state, and we were moving in this direction as late as the 1960s, but free-market ideology had a big resurgence in the late 1970s/1980s.
