Neocameralism Explained | Citizen of Europe
What if your government didn’t serve you—but owned you?
No elections. No accountability. Just a CEO with state power, running your country like a profit-maximizing machine.
That’s the core fantasy of neocameralism: a post-democratic fever dream where citizens become customers (or liabilities), and the state becomes a sovereign corporation.

In this short explainer video, we break down:
- What neocameralism is and where it comes from
- Why it’s gaining traction among anti-democratic movements
- And how it threatens real, participatory democracy
