The neoliberal strategies are consistently seeking new options for use of democratic mechanisms as legitimate social achievements in favor of capitalist interests, the prospect of rebuilding their ways of driving. In anticipation of maintaining hegemony can be undermined an entire theoretical conception of social protection, legally earned, used when non-governmental organizations in support of state disengagement. This article seeks to contextualize official data on performance of the private network of social assistance, the legal consequences hybridity and theoretical paradigms in view of provoking reflections on the dichotomy benefits and harms of the performance of the entities of social assistance service.
