Deprave,
Once given option of economic freedom and political freedom, the two have little difference. This sums it up:
"It is true that fascist systems permitted property ownership, while socialist ones did not. However, fascist 'property rights' were only nominal: A businessman (such as Oskar Schindler) would retain legal title to his goods, but he would not retain any control over them. Because he was not politically free, the government could order him to use his property as it desired (such as by using it to produce war implements) -- even if it was _his_ property that was being used. Just as there can be no split between mind and body, there can be no split between political freedom and economic freedom. Man cannot exist without a mind and a body, and he cannot be free if someone else controls either."
