Ah, meeting a Deleuzian in HN is like catching a rare wild Pokemon... The main gist I got from Deleuze and Guattari (without reading the actual books, only from people who seem to just endlessly talk about them) was: system dynamics are totally cool and rad, but we can only explain its coolness in excruciatingly obtuse language. Which is helpful for writing good poetry, but doesn't seem that helpful for actually making decisions in real life. (I've got to admit they have some really good quotable sentences in there too. Including the one that basically said in order to destroy capitalism you need to accelerate it, which spawned a mysterious cult in Warwick University.) Jokes aside, if you think progress is dead and the status quo is shit, what alternative society are you imagining? (I think this is the most important question you can ask to any leftist)
