    Both in Fascism and Socialism/Communism the State owns the companies, or at least controls them.

    Meanwhile in Neoliberalism the companies (well, Money in general) sits above the State, which is how it differs from Fascism: in both systems common people are at the bottom of the pile and whilst in Fascism a few people control the State which sits above Money, in Neoliberalism a few people control most of the Money which sits above the State (which is supposedly controlled by The People through elections, but since it’s subsidiary to Money that means that what The People control via the vote is only that which Money doesn’t care about)

    In Democracy people are supposed to be at the top of the pile, controlling the State through their vote, with the State in turn being above the rest, including Money.
