>the fuck does one know his desire is appealing to an ego and not his desiring-machines?
That's what the entire book is about, essentially. It is a geneaology of how desire has been repressed historically. The Freudian Ego is just another in a long line of diverted recordings of history. The first part of the passage describes commodity fetishism, basically. The self as built by wearing Vans and Gucci or some shit. The other type of production is that which affords lines of flight. Which have the potential to deterritorialize these historic diverted recordings, to reveal a potential for liberty.
I'd also like to point out that there is no true-self in Deleuze and Guttari. A self is a bit like an orange peel or the cell wall that seperates it from the outside world. It is _produced_ as a tool. [signifier referring to what is sitting in your chair] are a multiplicity. Many strands weaved together that _produces_ a unity.
