Either you’re implying that neoliberalism is the same as anarchocapitalism, or you’re suggesting that Apple embodies both at once. In the grand argument over how much government we need “neoliberals” would answer “less”, but a long way from answering “none” like the ancaps. Try and find an AnCap who wants government police, a state military, etc and then try and find a neoliberal who doesn’t want them. That is a pretty impactful difference! I know of no evidence to suggest that Apple falls into either camp let alone both at once! Perhaps these are examples of terms that for a certain crowd have become mere epithets used with only superficial understanding. It might also explain the alleged sins you then list off assuming we all would agree they apply.
...is an inherently unserious and self-contradictory idea. It's the Ununoctium of political ideologies: it is so unstable that if ever realized it will decay in a microsecond to something entirely different. Anyone who treats it as something that could be stable and realizable should be mocked or ignored.
So, that said, I think the usage should in the GP should just be auto-corrected to "extreme capitalism" and left there.
Incorrect uses of specific terms shouldn’t be changed to questionable uses of incredibly vague terms unless this is mere activist slogan homework instead of an actual discussion meant to persuade.

It works for internet comments, too.
Neoliberalism certainly has had an effect, but can you point out the anarchocapitalist political and cultural elements that have had any significant influence on any part of society anywhere let alone Apple? It is an extremely fringe political movement even within libertarianism which is itself a small minority movement albeit large enough to occasionally be noticeable.
My bad then, I consider(ed) anarcocapitalism as a synonim of libertarianism
The average American would be happier with Amazon taking over the feds, than the other way around.
I think the average American is aware of the Amazon warehouse worker conditions (and probably don’t care)
Any beef is between Amazon and their workers, not Amazon and me.
In the US, needing health insurance has kept me at a job against my will and I’m a white collar worker.
> Any beef is between Amazon and their workers, not Amazon and me.
It becomes ur beef if Amazon becomes a government entity as OP was saying in their hypothetical.
And no, working at a job you don't like just for the heath insurance coverage does not count as being "held against your will." Check your privilege.
If my choice is either work at a job I don’t like or risk my life by foregoing medical procedures that I need… It’s not really a choice.
It’s the same situation as holding a gun to me and saying “work at this job or I’ll shoot you.”
This is far from the only way people are forced to keep people working against their will.
Threat of homelessness, dependents like children, family members who need medical support, H1B visas, etc.
I was saying how, even in a decently paying job, I’m forced to work there under threat of serious medical complications because of the state of healthcare in the US.

I’m not the one making blanket statements about why people work shitty jobs.
No, it doesn't, no matter how many times you assert otherwise.

Yes, you are.
