In constrast to the classical Marxist notion that the workers are deprived of
means, everyone today owns the means of production him- or herself.
"The neoliberal system is no longer a class system in the proper sense. It
does not consist of classes that display mutual antagnonsim.
This is what accounts for the system's stability. Today, everyone is an
auto-exploiting labourer in his or her own enterprise.
People are now master and slave in one . . . the I is now subjugating
itself to internal limitations and self-constraints, which are taking the form
of compulsive achievement and optimization."
