    It’s the opposite, because in socialism the working classes are in control and production and distribution are collectivized, to satisfy the needs of all. In your fascist example, corporations are entrenched in the state, giving capitalists far more power without collectivizing production and distribution, retaining production for profit.

      In both cases you have a monolithic organization running the whole show. What you call it makes little difference. And the people in charge will be of the same type.

        No, this is fundamentally wrong, akin to saying NATO and doctors without borders are the same thing. If you erase every distinguishing characteristic and just look at things as “organizations” with no further investigation, you absolutely ruin your viewpoint. I already explained how a wide gulf separates fascism and socialism.
