I'm a big poo brain that's read no theory but my understanding of neoliberalism is that it's like fascism minus anything that aids the working class and ruthlessly turns everything and anything into a market. Fascism and national socialism to me are largely the same, I'd imagine fascism is closer to neoliberalism as the merger of corporations and state, while national socialism is still fascism but with more token gestures to the working class, co-opting socialist policy.
This is also my understanding. Neoliberalism, to me, also seems to have a subtler approach to propaganda and a lighter touch when it comes to imperial machinations — less direct extermination, more big incentives for foreign capitalists to expose their country to exploitation.
Use of proxies like the IMF, "fiscal responsibility", "personal liberties", atomizing rhetoric that boils everything down to individual choice, this kind of thing also is a huge differentiating factor.

Yeah that makes so much sense. So it figures that the response to all economic crisis is simply bailing everyone out with huge cash injections.

Someone on here, forget who sorry, said that neoliberalism is just fascism with a friendly face and that resonated with me.
