Easy trap, people been making it for decades...because Marxists and National Socialists share many of the same aims, they just go about it differently...

We can look at the degrees and refine each of the points in the Marx Manifesto to show clearly we are on a fascist trajectory, the big thing being the crony-capitalist paradim and the illusion of political free will that is easy to achieve along this model than with the collectivist model.  A successful illusion of individual choice will tend to work better for cultivating sheep than just herding the sheep and telling them they are all the same while some are clearly not.

Economic Fascism is government control of private owners.  Private owners allowed to own their stuff, if they play ball with the Clerisy. 

That is most certainly modern China and more and more often, modern America.
