Define "New Right".

From the Urals to the British Isles, there has been a surge in implicitly and explicitly fascist parties since the 1980s, yes.

In the US, the right wing is still too libertarian and not violent enough to be even remotely fascist. I think that's one of the few blessings of the world these days. But as I've written, much of that libertarianism is based on social factors and not principle. Still, there has to be more authoritarianism and violence-worship [and more explicit racism] for it to be fascist.

Thankfully, yeah, although I am afraid of a growing tendency among the right-wing, like that woman that won the GOP nomination in my district.

I'm not convinced that the GOP is truly trending libertarian.....yet.

Are there any other ideologies that favor pre-emptively invading countries and handing the economy over to corporations besides neoconservatism and fascism?

That's not quite what corporatism is, the way you mean it.
