Capitalism has never been anthropcentric. It is posthuman. 1/5
Bourgeois humanism is merely the product of the liberal capitalist’s ability to extricate itself from the reified dimensions of production. It posits its freedom only against the unfreedom of wage and slave labour as nonhuman. 2/5
The commodity form is tied to liberal subjectivity insofar as the latter is the legal owner of private property; whereas commodified labour power *is* or becomes the private property of its owner. 3/5
The era of posthumanism is the product of even the middle classes transformed into commodified object status. 4/5
The middle class begins to concern itself with objects the moment it becomes one. 5/5
