I think th...Just a little add on to what you said.<br /><br />I think the argument D&G make is that positivity isn't the result of capitalism, but the result of the market to be able to provide goods and services. I think the issue comes in terms of finacial capital and private accumulation of excess, as there is nothing inherently wrong with commodity exchange as both D&G and Marx kindly explain. Yet when the abstraction process occures/abstract machine of captial thats when things take a turn. Capitalism/ markets constantly have to detteritorialize and expand. But that creates way too much excess of both material items and desire that it has to be organized under the segregative forces of oedipus and captured by the state apparatus through making capital a transcendent signifier that self replicates like a zombie and strangles the potential out of all market and interpersonal relations so that the desire and accumlation for capital becomes expressed as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONXpaBQnBvE . I think a good starting point is to challenge capital's dominate hegmonic force in a daily lives. The potential for such action is visable in actions such as blood donation, Private organizations like Amesty international, or the molecular events that are happening across the middle east and have the poentential to snowball and create grand challenges.Tom Fergnoreply@blogger.com
