Libertarianism is "freedom" only for the top slice and always has been.

Depending on how principled you want to be about what happens to the underclass, you have a choice. Either exert control privately, by removing state protections for people and using corporate strength. Or you can co-opt the existing government to act on your behalf. You can mix and match, where you weaken parts of government which protects and strengthen that which controls.

Whether the jackboots have a national emblem or a company logo on them doesn't make a lot of difference to the necks.
