Deleuze–Guattari and Late Capitalism

This study discusses the relationship between the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in the postmodern capitalist era to answer whether the Deleuzian concept is a proper ideology in the cultural sense of late capitalism or not? Furthermore, it questions whether the aesthetic and schizophrenic politics of the Deleuzian understanding is harmonized in today’s postmodern world by losing their revolutionary aspects or not? In Anti-Oedipus, Deleuze and Guattari attack psychoanalysis and its perception of evaluating the Oedipal process. Accordingly, becoming Oedipal is the procedure of accepting repression and ultimately obedience to the order. Deleuze and Guattari criticize Freud’s psychology in the realm of modern capitalism by changing all stereotypical assumptions. Deleuze and Guattari’s cognizance has a symbolic comprehension of pursuing Freud and Marx by authorizing the bourgeoise that seeks to establish domination for circulating capital. Thus, the bourgeoisie is suppressing humanity’s free will and regulating events at its sole discretion. According to Deleuze and Guattari, the subject must be schizophrenic, not Oedipalized, to be vested with a revolutionary agent. They suggest how a center evokes and engenders resisting any hierarchy out of being organized through realms—a sort of realmless concept of no territory. There must be no beginning/end to neglecting hierarchy, such that the headquarters are not institutionalized due to their proximity and distance to the center.
