Is neo-capitalism the same as corporatism? If so, I might not use the word totalitarian to describe it, but it is undoubtedly intolerant, anti-individualist, hyper-rationalist, materialist, and endemically hostile to Christianity (and all other religion). In that sense, its effects are very similar to Communism. Close enough?
I do not know who controls the assets or the "means of production" in the former Soviet empire.
Western corporations, who were awarded these means by the former communists for a very nice price. Domestic entreprenurial activity is nearly nonexistent in the "reformed" economies, aborted in the womb by 10 year tax holidays for foreign investors and a 60 percent tax on domestic economic activities. The game was rigged by the commies in government to make sure the Western robber capitalists had a clear field with no competition. For that they were paid handsomely.

Correct, correct, and correct! Well said!
