In practice, a fascist state is one that funnels all wealth to the ultra-rich while encouraging the non-ultra rich to fight amongst themselves on trivial issues so that nobody has time to think how fucked up it is that, say, Amazon chose to install vending machines that distribute pain medication and have EMS on standby to rush overworked poors out of the warehouse instead of implementing proper healthcare.
Meanwhile, socialism recognizes that, even if the dreaded "welfare queen" could exist, they're such a minority of the population that it's not worth worrying about them when it comes to implementing policies that benefit the populace as a whole since it saves wealth via the whole adage of buying in bulk lowers the cost of production.
Gofundme and things like it being the best access to healthcare that the non-rich have is a sign of a failed state. The government has power to force corporations to stop exploiting the populace, whether it chooses to or not is another issue entirely.crowdfunding

my country is fucked not because foreign companies moved in, but because of a lack of a nationalistic spirit because the EU paid our homegrown large scale capitalists to destroy their own industries in exchange for a quick buck and for some reason they did it.
The difference is that the latter can actually be changed by the people in that state, even if it's difficult, while the former are beholden only to profit and will do anything it takes to squeeze it from you.there is little difference from multinationals controlling everything and a multinational big government controlling everything. in fact, most cant do it without the support of the state
