[D-G] Deleuze and Guattari on Brexit

[Mike Lansing]

Realization of a pre-existing identity I still define as a fully-formed
State, where the Islamic concept of "state building," as we shall see,
becomes problematic due to "partial communities," previously mentioned.
Animal domestications are mentioned at around 7,000 B.C. in Jericho in
Hodder's The Domestication of Europe. The passage that links the
Egyptians in AO is on p. 193:

'But we always rediscover the figures of this paranoiac and his
perverts, the conqueror and his elite troops, the despot and his
bureaucrats, the holy man and his disciples, and anchorite and his
monks, Christ and his St. Paul. Moses flees from the Egyptian machine
into the wilderness and installs bhis new machine there, a holy ark and
portable temple and gives his people a new religious-military
organization.'
(AO, The Barbarian Despotic Machine)

This D&G passage compares with Zizek's The Fragile Absolute, p. 123
where Zizek compares the army with the Church and shows each to take on
the characteristics of the other.

In our translation and schizoanalysis of Klebnikov's Razgovor c
Varvarom, (Conversation with a Barbarian), pertinent to D&G is....

'The Barbarian Despotic Machine. The founding of the despotic machine
of the barbarian socius can be summarized in the following way: a new
alliance and direct filiation. The despot challenges the lateral
alliance and the extended filiations of the old community. He imposes a
new alliance system and places himself in direct filiation with the
deity: the people must follow. A leap into a new alliance, a break with
the ancient filiation -- this is expressed in a strange machine, or
rather a machine of the strange whose locus is the desire, imposing the
harshest and the most barren of ordeals, and attesting to the
resistance of an old order as well as to the validation of the new
order. The machine of the strange is both a great paranoiac machine,
since it expresses the struggle with the old system, and already a
glorious celibate machine, insofar as it exalts the triumph of the new
alliance.'

The current violence against gays in Chechnya links to our previous
excerpting that stated....' Communitarians continually postulate the
community as the expression of who we are without giving any particular
specifications of this 'we.' On the following page, H&N state: 'The
only way to qualify the 'we' is through identification to the whole --
we Americans, we members of the procedural republic. The State inheres
in these arguments as a necessity, as the only veritable subject of
community, as the full realization of embodied subjectivity. "Es ist
der Gang Gottes in der Welt. dass der Staat ist." It is essential to
God's march through the world that the State exist (Philosophy of
Right, addition to ff 258). In the final instance, the communitarian
preoccupation with the theory of the subject leads to the proposition
of the State as the only fully realized and autonomous subject.'
(LoD, 256.7)
