It's the ultimate lie of Neoliberalism - it's not about Freedom for people (when you are born into a World were all places you could sleep in or grow your food in are owned, you are not Free), it's about Freedom for Money. Neoliberalism actually strengthens the rights of property, reducing the rights of non-owners.

So if you aren't one of the 1% you're even less Free under Neoliberalism than straight Capitalism.

Neoliberalism has Neofeudalism as end-form. The goal is to get back to feudal times, where Lords would be the factual government on their territory, just that it would be justified through god given ownership, rather than god given priviledged status.

It is the same thing though.
