"Deconstructing the administrative government" translates into getting rid of the EPA, Edu, Commerce, Labor, Transportation and as many other gov cabinet departments as possible, reducing rules and guidelines in departments that are left. So that all those functions and services disappear to be available only if provided by For-Profit capitalist corporations. The Ayn Randers don't believe that there is such a thing as "the common good" or "the commons" that are paid for by taxes and administered and maintained by taxes, and available to every citizens equally. They label the common good, and the commons as some sort of socialist plot to take away our freedom to do as we please, no matter what the effect is to the common good.

"All the political systems of the modern age have been the products of three distinct ideologies: the first, and oldest, is liberal democracy; the second is Marxism; and the third is fascism. The latter two have long since failed and passed out of the pages of history, and the first no longer operates as an ideology, but rather as something taken for granted. The world today finds itself on the brink of a post-political reality - one in which the values of liberalism are so deeply embedded that the average person is not aware that there is an ideology at work around him. As a result, liberalism is threatening to monopolise political discourse and drown the world in a universal sameness, destroying everything that makes the various cultures and peoples unique. According to Alexander Dugin, what is needed to break through this morass is a fourth ideology - one that will sift through the debris of the first three to look for elements that might be useful, but that remains innovative and unique in itself...."
