The best part about neoliberalism is how it pretends to be an Ayn Rand masturbatory fantasy, but in reality involves the creation of oligopolies everywhere that deploy capital in coordination with governments they've wholly captured.

Looks a lot like the "state socialism" of the Soviet period, or the "socialism with Chinese characteristics" of the Middle Kingdom, but more corrupt and only a handful of psychotic monsters ever seem to benefit.

The invisible hand of the free market at work!
