			== Connection to fascism ==
			Neoliberalism, due to the fact that it completely serves class interests and due to its unjust character, is always imposed with a [[Fascism\|fascist]]-like way, so as to prevent opposition. This means that the media, both state-controlled and private (the latter being owned and controlled by [[Bourgeoisie\|those who are benefitted by these policies]]) are practicing more [[censorship]] to their content. Police brutality increases and the state practices more surveillance among their citizens, as well as repression of political opponents. Finally, these policies may be accompanied by anti-immigration policies<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> or cracking down on minorities<ref>See [[Palestinian genocide]].</ref>.

			Examples are [[Republic of Chile\|Chile]] under [[Augusto Pinochet]] (a military dictatorship), the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland\|UK]] under [[Margaret Thatcher]], [[Hellenic Republic\|Greece]] under [[Kyriakos Mitsotakis]],<ref>{{Citation\|author=V-Dem Institue\|year=2022\|title=Democracy Report 2023\|title-url=https://www.v-dem.net/documents/30/V-dem_democracyreport2023_highres.pdf\|page=17}}</ref> or [[State of Israel\|"Israel"]] under [[Benjamin Netanyahu]].

			[[Adolf Hitler\|Hitler's]] [[German Reich (1933–1945)#Economy\|economic policies]] could also be described as an early form of neoliberalism.

			== Consequences ==
			Neoliberalism has been linked to lower well-being, social disconnection, and loneliness.<ref>{{Citation\|author=Julia C. Becker, Lea Hartwich, S.
