if you deny the existence of the ruling ideology, you can more easily present it as but an expression of the natural order, of how things always were and have to be. That's the aim of alt-centrists like Klein: to feign objectivity while advancing a destructive political project
and he's exactly wrong. Philip Mirowski, a leading scholar on neoliberalism and its history, has observed that its feigned market fetishism is but a thin disguise for a state fetishism, though it conceives of the state as having to serve the interests of the ruling classes
highly recommend reading the full piece by Mirowski: "Neoliberalism: The Movement That Dare Not Speak Its Name" (see americanaffairsjournal.org/2018/02/neolib…). The market/state dichotomy conjured up in neoliberal rhetoric is a false one, used to sneak in the aforementioned state fetishism
and here's a good interview @SamSeder had with Mirowski regarding neoliberalism on @majorityfm
