Class antagonism has moved inside the worker’s own psychology

Evidence

Antagonism is not now located externally, in the face-off between class blocs, but internally, in the psychology of the worker, who, as a worker, is interested in old-style class conflict, but, as someone with a pension fund, is also interested in maximizing the yield from his or her investments. There is no longer an identifiable external enemy. — Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism, 74
