Dear Deleuzo-Guattary attendants,

I thought to forward this from a friend on nettime mailing-list

Marine, She is the daughter of a famous Pirate (Capitaine Crochet is his
public name)

 I send it to you because it's part of an University inter-university
program
where application of the Deleuze & Guattari concepts are executed in
Politcal rhetoric:
part of an Inactual Intervention on the topic of Brexit, Western Politics,
and Yellow Jackets,

here the key concepts (imposed subject) were:

<<disjunctive synthesis<<, <<opinion as solid<<, <<Cartesian doubt
method<<, <<multiplicity versus ONE<<, and <<incarnation of ONE<<

I hope Marine Crochet sturdy ideas, to stir pronto some more debate on your
DG list...

Multi-Bacci a tutti !!

Johnny Pett

>> Dear List,
>>
>> I am living in a French environment, even though not in France.
>>
>> that's the historic of my opinions:
>>
>> 1) first I thought it was the wrong idea to go on strike against the oil
>> taxes when the "Bonnets Rouges" also
>>     stroke against a similar eco friendly tax on traffic, back in the
>> Segolene Royal Hollande years.
>>
>> 2) but then, i got to see the Tikkun Bloom related Lundi Matin hebdo, who
>> was trying to demonstrate how Yellow Jackets
>> make dysfunction the "dysfunctions" (ie the States Apparatus one) and
>> explaining how important it was to change your habits
>> according to "Yellow Jackets" way of demonstrations.
>>
>> 3) now i think Macron will listen, and his Government shall listen to the
>> constrains on the infrastructure change Yellow Jackets
>> demand, like the one on re-nationalization of La Poste and SNCF (Trains).
>> It is totally compatible to his ideas on giving Fibre Optique (ADSL)
>> to every one in France, however remote you are from big towns. Yellow
>> Jackets indeed agree to the eco friendliness, and opt for more train lines
>> being
>> constructed.
>>
>> Besides I believe the French Government is stuck, because Macron wants
>> more of an European semi International or say "Democrats" (in the us
>> politics use of the word)
>> plastic "globalism", which he understands to go alongside his way to
>> decipher what "French Universalism" stands for (cfr previous UN assembly
>> discourse by Macron, where he
>> paused as a Trump critic.)
>>
>> And perhaps its a chance for him to show how versatile can be his
>> spirits. And adopt a deeper way of changing France infrastructure. Deeper,
>> of course, in this sense
>> that it is democratic, egalitarian, and that people's desire are taken
>> into account in the more extended way as possible, even so more assuredly
>> when they themselves
>> try to show responsibility and show restrain towards the violence this
>> last Saturday, a bit like Toni Negri & Hardt, in the end of Multitudes.
>>
>> Now, I think Britain needs to have someone who in charge of Politics, can
>> combine in her or his reasoning the different factors of the questions of a
>> very fractured opinions on the issue of Brexit.
>> I think mostly this shall encompass keeping the argument of working "in
>> the nations interest".
>> So that the interest of the "nation of Britain", is that some agreement
>> between the Leave feeling and the Remain feeling gets rightly assorted, so
>> that Britain can effectively
>> answer to the majority of the first referendum call, and at the same
>> moment become able to allow "Britain" as a Sovereign Person, to be able to
>> talk about Herself or Himself as
>> someone not Fractured. That is accepting the disjunctive synthesis of
>> Being Fractured (as it is shown above to be between various desires and
>> opinions), and being ONE.
>>
>> May be for you who pay attention to the Marxist discourse cases of entry
>> in the logs of discourse, such a disjunctive synthesis may sound uncanny.
>>
>> Yet, I believe Politics is too much looked at from the angle of the non
>> practical in this nettime group. Too often have I been led astray reading
>> drifting theoretical quasi rhetorical discussions
>> which will never help any whatsoever change in the world affairs. Not, I
>> guess, even weigh in on the most advanced avant-garde leftist political
>> force there is, if not
>> just to add a little on the resentment which is only part of the
>> theoretical neurons in your many brains.
>>
>> Britain must be understood by someone, in the elected crowd of people,
>> (is by the way this Theresa May still part of the elected body?) i mean
>> Britain must be understood
>> and explained to the whole nation, by the same single one individual
>> elected human character, in one single intellectual & political movement,
>> it must be understood, and explained.
>>
>> If there is not such a person currently in Britain, then, we will have
>> trouble.
>>
>> This might certainly sound like  a call to reflexion, on the notion of
>> "multiplicity" and it is not a call to strong leadership (of course) it is
>> a call to
>> letting something sensible, go transparent, through the situation, which
>> is too complex to be understood at this moment, for
>> lack of conceptual quality in the reflexion groups and "think tanks" such
>> as nettime or elsewhere.
>>
>> People on the net instead of discussing their opinions, should try to
>> change the tools with which they understand the current and recent becoming
>> of this world.
>>
>> Perhaps, the scientific community, the one who obeys the doctrine of
>> "doubt" (and NOT opinions which are too solid)  is perhaps more naturally
>> elected to see through this situation,
>> than the opinion class which is ruling over the debates and over the
>> Governments of UE or US since a few twenty or so years.
>> This, i get a feeling that Donald Trump had understood, yet,
>> unfortunately for everybody his actual somewhat sick limited behavior, do
>> not stand as the leader, for the solving the problems of his time.
>>
>> So maybe we hope Macron will understand how to reconsider his own very
>> Philosophy and its very Foundations.
>> And listen to the change(s) asked by the multiplicity of his electorates.
>> And propose a set of public discussion in a way which
>> would not necessarily destroy everything in France in UE or on Earth. He
>> can invent, he's got a lot of tools with the digital.
>> Maybe perhaps as well listen to the nettime opinion and create new
>> alternative (to Twitter and Facebook etc) for just the sake of this public
>> discussion to be set straight, about and on topic the exact right decisions
>> to accomplish, which will be passed by him Macron, or the next successor
>> in Government(s).
>>
>> Best in heart,
>> Marine, daughter of a pirate.
