Staat und Kriegsmaschine

In 1972, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari criticised psychoanalysis as patriarchal in their first joint work Anti-Oedipus. They see man as a schizo with a volatile psyche that refuses to conform to society. Capitalism weakens the state, which nevertheless remains overpowering. The nomads defend themselves against the original state with a war machine, which the state transforms into a disciplined military. Nevertheless, there is still a contradiction between the state and the military today. The state also retains a primacy over the economy. The sciences are state sciences dependent on the state. Instead, it is about nomadic sciences that do not see themselves as experts, but as a kind of many lines of flight, like Kafka's becoming-animal, becoming-woman, resisting the authoritarian state. Ethics and freedom play no role in this.
