>Free political action from all unitary and totalizing paranoia
>Develop action, thought, and desires by proliferation, juxtaposition, and disjunction, and not by subdivision and pyramidal hierarchization
>Withdraw allegiance from the old categories of the negative (law, limit, castration, lack, lacuna), which Western thought has so long held as sacred as a form of power and an access to reality
>Prefer what is positive and multiple, difference over uniformity, flows over unities, mobile arrangements over systems
>Believe what is productive is not sedentary but nomadic
>Do not think that one has to be sad in order to be militant, even though the thing one is fighting is abominable
>Do not use thought to ground a political practice in Truth; nor political action to discredit, as mere speculation, a line of thought
>Do not demand of politics that it restore the "rights" of the individual, as philosophy has defined them
>Use political practice as an intensifier of thought, and analysis as a multiplier of the forms and domains for the intervention of political action

>Do not become enamored of power

I'm reading Anti Oedipus right now, I'm enjoying it so far. I really like Deleuze alot. There's a really good book about Deleuze by Levi Bryant that explains his Ontology really well and distinguishes him from the 20th century trends that he's usually associated with.

the postmodern fetishisation of alterity has only helped ground everything and everyone into the same pile of indistinct mush. all those marginalized voices say exactly the same things, using the same tone and the same management buzzwords. being a nazi edgelord seems like the only exit

I have a theory that all of what Deleuze really and truly thinks and believes are contained within his commentaries on other philosophers ie. Nietzsche, Spinoza etc.

All of his works seperate from this, and especially his work with Félix are just ramblings and things he doesn’t really care about he wrote to get famous among Parisian intellectuals.

He’s a conservative deep down

I think he's definitely not as similar to the other French philosophers as people think. I'd argue that Difference and Repetition is more of the real core of his philosophy. The works on other philosophers were written leading up to that, and while some of the important elements of his thought were developed within the works about other philosophers, some of the stuff in those books never re appeared, which makes me think they were more just him engaging with those philosophers on his terms.

Manson is what Deleuze would have been like if he had actually taken himself seriously. Anti-Oedipus and a Thousand Plateaus read like imprints of the general soixante huitard CIA LSD mind control cybernetics zeitgeist. Cold War military industrial think tanks, McLuhan, Gregory Bateson are key references points, but rarely mentioned since they are hard to fit in with the euro continental tradition. As is anthropologist Pierre Clastres with his ideal of an anarchic primitive society guarding off universal exchange and the state through non stop violent warfare.
