Here is my thesis : Deleuze and Guattari are not fundamentally
poststructuralist Marx-Freudians, but rather Post Death of God / Death of the
Author Liebniz-Fourierians. The schizophrenic represents a Liebnizian
situation after the death of God : no transcendent God to predecide
compossibles, and thus the necessity to traverse the entire immanent field of
potential which the schizophrenic attempts. Their vision of a society
(especially as hinted at by Guattari's comments on organization at La Borde)
is classic Fourier : the collective collecting of manias or obsessions into
workgroups, yet without Fourier's preplanned author-ization of the process.
Fourier gave us some amazing lines of flight to work with, yet D&G see no
reason for this process to follow his rigid, utopian system, but rather to
develop in an improvisational way as Liebnizian Schizos brachiate out and
affirm their manias together in collective subject-groups that create the
future, the compossible, the collective (dys)Harmony through engagement and
action.
I think there is a whole fertile area of investigation here on what
Liebniz's theory would look like post-Death of God (The Coordinator of
Possible Worlds) [multiplied by his more immanent theory of monads as minimal
units of perception (molecularity) perceptually organizing themselves through
ripples of interference patterns into coherent chaosmoses] and how much this
rhizomes with D&G's take on the schizophrenic as outlined in AntiOedipus, as
well as how practically Fourier could be made into a line of flight for
organizing micro as well as macro revolutions ...
