Fusaro says that neoliberals, who work hard to destroy the links and the boundaries of the nation-state, are also neolibertines who are dead set on destroying the links and the boundaries of the family unit.
I find this a great analogy. Neolibertines (Fusaro’s term) try to make the walls of privacy and intimacy that characterize a family porous and permeable. They are disturbed by the concept of family as “the foundation of ethics and an impermeable relational cell”.
A monogamous family unit, says Fusaro, is the basis of modern ethics. Destroy it, and there are no more limits to the rapacious and consumerist treatment of people by other people as “bodies to ravage and discard”.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
