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.

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