Under immaterial production everyone owns the means of production, ending class antagonism

Evidence

In fact, no proletariat exists under the neoliberal regime at all. There is no working class being exploited by those who own the means of production. When production is immaterial, everyone already owns the means of production himor herself. The neoliberal system is no longer a class system in the proper sense. It does not consist of classes that display mutual antagonism. This is what accounts for the system’s stability. — Byung-Chul Han, Psychopolitics, 24
