Neoliberalism is about sanctifying ‘unmanaged capitalism’, it is based not in social governance but anti-governance. Advocates of neoliberalism want to do away with the state and government interventionism altogether. To neoliberals public services are deemed ‘small potatoes’ their goal is to privatize entire regions and place whole countries under a corporate model of ‘countrypreneurship’, this entails outsourcing governance to foreign investors, countries who are willing to ‘let democracy go’ have either been captured by an outside force, succumbed to a military coup or have self-inflicted a regime that has engineered crises to the point where an outside entity can take over.

Democracy is broken, it needs reform, GDP has been tipped in favour of corporations, as wage share freezes, profit share sees astronomical increases, anarcho-capitalists next goal is private governance in the zone. This means no more public sector, laws as services that companies demand.
