  25. Right. It's easier to visualize the difference if you put each of
  26. government, business, and the individual on the vertex of a triangle.
  27.  
  28. Fascism is government and business conspiring against individual rights.
  29.  
  30. Liberalism is government and the individual conspiring against business
  31. (and sometimes government) "rights" (either real or imagined).
  32.  
  33. Libertarianism is business and individuals conspiring to restrict the
  34. rights of the government.
