what cracks me up is just what an imbecile she is with this "change the soul" - Margaret Thatcher's propagandistic horseshit is "a tacit confession" that it's not about accumulation it's really a moral mission.... like how would an entire ruling elite agree on what kind of soul or subjectivity they want certain people to have and why? When did the state of california agree what kind of soul to give Wendy Brown and who designed the policy to make her this way? Why was there no disagreement? Who benefits from her subjectivity and in what way?

that there's something objective - profit rate, objective interests - that coordinate class action seems vulgar and too simple - she'd rather believe, with Nietzsche and Foucault, that its magic. "neoliberalism" is a "governmentality" that takes possession of Paul Bremer and Margaret Thatcher and makes them desire the same kind of soul in Iraqi farmers and English nurses ...and with a wave of their wands they achieve it...while Wendy Brown with her protective talisman remains immune....it's really hocus pocus.

Oh, I do like this word verification: 'pelli', that's my first nickname for Christian for many years. Then we did 'pelleure' for awhile, and pellursky and mulleure and mulleursky and now got all butch and it's just PELL and MULL.
