Summary of byung-chul han's psychopolitics

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The subject today is a project, constantly reinventing itself. However, this projective freedom is actually a form of coercion and constraint, as the subject is subjugating itself to internal limitations and self-constraints. #2 Neoliberalism is a highly efficient system for exploiting freedom. Everything that belongs to practices and expressive forms of liberty – emotion, play, and communication – is exploited. #3 The post-Marxist theory known as the Cooperative Multitude does not describe the contemporary mode of production. It is a mistake to believe that the cooperative Multitude will overthrow the parasitic Empire and bring forth a communist social order. #4 The neoliberal regime transforms allo-exploitation into auto-exploitation, and this affects all classes. The auto-aggressivity that results from this auto-exploitation means that the exploited are not inclined to revolution so much as depression.
