Civilization-level quantum suicide and we're blockchain mining reality for Capital. The only way to prove this for yourself is to experience ego death and stop having subjective opinions on things.

>>11838230
How does one experience ego death

Think of Deleuze and Guattari as a satire about Marx's writings and you got it.

>>11838245

1. Reeee communism didn't win.
2. Fuck the west.
3. Fuck logic and shit because that is what western white people like.

Be skeptical over "solid foundations".

Do you know in Brother's Karamazov, when someone says something bad to Aljoscha and he doesn't give a fuck about it? I think that's part of it.

Brainlets, stop using terms you don't understand.

The clearest introduction is Todd May's Gilles Deleuze: An Introduction

As with any introduction, be wary of simplification - but maybe it will give you courage to grapple with the texts yourself.

>>11838230
Just stop.

>>11838238
Only possible for the >150 IQ aristocracy, sorry.

Everything is Factorio.

>Glory in your puppet strings, for you have tasted the fruit and it is the Good. We are not trapped in the belly of a horrible machine - we are the horrible machine. We are its fingers and its toes. We are the grinding gears, the cogs matted with flesh, hair, greased with blood. We will march in crystal synchrony to the end of time.

>>11839964
so Deleuze's entire work is basically the equivalent of those "makes you think" memes about how people are glued to their phones?

lol hard pass

>>11839964
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

>>11839997
imagine being this much of a moron

>>11838190
Insanity is the one thing capitalism can't commodify and slap with a price tag

And I hope he didn't. The suffering of marginalized communities is the most pressing issues that we, as a society, have to deal with. We have to end police brutality for one. And slow down the trade war with China, stop alt-right terrorism and mass poverty. Ensure a strong national defense, prevent the spread of fascism in Eastern Europe, work for a Middle East peace settlement, prevent U.S. military involvement overseas. We have to ensure that America is a respected world power. Now that’s not to belittle our domestic problems, which are equally important, if not more. Better and more affordable long-term care for the elderly, control and find a cure for the opioid epidemic, clean up environmental damage from toxic waste and pollution, improve the quality of primary and secondary education, strengthen laws to crack down on crime and illegal drugs. We also have to ensure that college education is affordable for the middle class and protect Social Security for senior citizens plus conserve natural resources and wilderness areas and reduce the influence of political action committees.

But economically we’re still a mess. We have to find a way to hold down the inflation rate and reduce the deficit. We also need to provide training and jobs for the unemployed as well as protect existing American jobs from unfair foreign imports. We have to make America the leader in new technology. At the same time we need to promote economic growth and business expansion and hold the line against federal income taxes and hold down interest rates while promoting opportunities for small businesses and controlling mergers and big corporate takeovers.

But we can’t ignore our social needs either. We have to stop people from abusing the welfare system. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights while also promoting equal rights for women but change the abortion laws to protect the right to life yet still somehow maintain women’s freedom of choice. We also have to control the influx of illegal immigrants. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values and curb graphic sex and violence on TV, in movies, in popular music, everywhere. Most importantly we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

I honestly hear a voice whenever I see this particular Apu.

>stop worrying about oppressed minorities and women and raped babies

minorities are not oppressed and women are given literally every possible advantage
