Is this the beginning of the US sovereign fund?

That's what is being said. The Intel stake is a first step to a US sovereign fund that will include ownership stakes in many corporations.

is merging interests of the state and corporations marks a return to good ole fascism ?

or is it just an alternative way of taxing capital? instead of taxing wealth and capital, just take an equity stake in it ?

Nationalized companies don't necessarily mean socialism or fascism but fascists did like giving the state fairly tight ownership and control of companies. It depends on how they handle that - if you see Trump loyalists embedded in lots of boards or top down instructions given to industry that might be a sign.
