Neoliberalism is when you are an atomized, entrepreneurial subject, but you're still living in a mostly traditional liberal society despite having a LinkedIn page and a side hustle in the gig economy.

Neofeudalism is when you are fully transformed into smartphone app platform serf who takes initiative on a daily basis with no boss telling you what to do. But ultimately you must earn enough wealth to pay your feudal lords the yearly tax of ~~grain~~ harvested trash you found in an abandoned post industrial hellzone.

To be fair, there usually isn't much scrap on a failed run because you were just selling as much as you could minutes before, plus they can probably retrieve it (along with your corpse) after you die.
