Post-Jefbolism is an "ideology".
Essentially, this is my attempt to combine 
post-structuralist and 
schizoanalytic study of 
signs and 
psychology with 
Marxism. Most of what you'll find here is 
critical notes on 
capitalism and how it has weaved itself into the structure of society, and how it suppresses the 
revolutionary tendencies of desire. I am influenced primarily in my writings by 
Baruch Spinoza, 
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels 
, 
Friedrich Nietzsche, 
Anton Pannekoek, 
Wilhelm Reich, 
Jacques Lacan, 
Paul Mattick, 
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari 
, 
Guy Debord, and 
Mario Tronti.

Notes on Modern Struggle and Spontaneity
The proletariat are not silent and passive players in their struggle, they do not sit back and only act in reaction to the actions of capital, not at all. On the contrary, they play a much heavier role as the slayers of capital and its bourgeois meat hooks, they are active participants indeed, and especially in such a condition of chaos and uncertainty. What do I mean by this?
A new development has taken place in the last century. The proletariat has developed a new and more potent form of its own vibrant subjectivity and spontaneity, one particularly threatening to our lord capital, it is a spontaneity that capital must crush. What is spontaneity? Spontaneity in this context represents the liberatory and chaotic potential of freed and nomadic desire, molecular desire specifically being produced which allows for such an escape to happen. Through the various forms of labor organization of the 19th and 20th century, the activated proletariat stood its ground against capital and its totality over society. It has been made clear by these proletarian struggles, their struggles to affirm themselves against capital, that the proletariat is an irreducibly autonomous force, one capable of standing up to the fiery dragons of the current order. However, the problem seems to be the production of revolutionary desire, in our society where conservative and reactionary molar libido reign supreme and crush the limited molecular.
Our post-modern world is a chaotic and even violent one. Every year, you here about violence and war here, an economic crisis here, nuclear threats here, the globe is in a tough position right now, it seems. Contrarily however, capital seems to be at its strongest. In the face of the forces of the nomads that want it dead, of anti-capitalist affirmation, capital is forced to either adapt or die. This is the logic behind the many shifts in social organization of society in the past century, from societies of discipline to control, from national to international. We can understand this better through Mario Tronti's analysis of the cycle of composition, the partial escapes from capital and the partial subjugating by capital. When the proletarian affirmed himself and escaped for a short while from the clutches of capital, capital could not destroy it completely, it could only counterattack by attempting to stratify the desires of the proletariat more and more through the further coding of social life, strangling spontaneity. It must do this in order to survive, it is in its self-interest to do such a thing out of pure necessity to. Capital therefore develops through this process increasing abilities to suppress the spontaneity of its slaves.
Such a force as the workingmen is directionless in the modern century, it has no push or drive. It has the anger, the bloodthirst, the passion and desire, to reign terror on the institutions which repress it, of course! However, it has nothing to unlock such passion and anger in its current state, it has only been able to do anything within the roadblocks and the confined territories that capital allows it to, and through only the means capital lets it. Spontaneity and the autonomy of such unconstrainted desire are therefore not allowed to be produced, and when it is produced, it is swiftly crushed by capital or coopted, to make it to where no war machine can develop from the proletariat. Molar desire is therefore allowed to reign over the dominion of libidinal investments, it is pro-conservative at its core when it exercises the unconscious drives for repression of desire. Spontaneity and molecular libido on the other hand, is inherently revolutionary. It is the embodiment of the destructive tendencies of desire. Spontaneity is the embodiment of the war machine, and specifically its chaotic and liberatory nature.
It is very clear that what is to be done is the freeing of the production of molecular desire in order to unlock the spontaneity and decoding nature of it. With this, we create a war machine out of the working class, a nomadic horde that actively engages in the undermining of capital and the state. It smashes and decodes the territory of the old, from the school to the factory to the hospital to the prison. It turns everyday life into a battle ground of change and difference, actor against actor, engaging in the true abolition of the current state of affairs. We therefore become the assassins of capital, challenging its dominance by our very affirmation of our spontaneity, our own affirmative passion and desire, we are our own liberators and the own drivers of our own revolution.
Desiring Production, Capital, and Power
It was often understated the complexity of desire by the old psychoanalysts. The old Freudians, Lacanians, Jungians, etc. They all held that ridiculous and idealistic view of some imaginary, abstract desire, something coming from a lack. At the same time, the old communists scarcely ignored the role of desire and libidinal deposits in the economy, the machines and power dynamics that regulate them, or just seeing such from the viewpoint of it being a systemized thing. The ones who did focus in on this were still Freudians, expanding upon but never abandoning Freud and later Lacan's analysis of desiring as caused by lack. Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, as well as Jean-Francois Lyotard. Desire for Deleuze and Guattari is something not based upon lack but upon affirmation, it's something free flowing and without foundation. Desire is representational but productive, something actualizing. Of course, in order for institutions of power to exist, such affirmation and actualization is something that must be repressed and stratified. Flows must be controlled for the sake of stability. This is where desiring machines come into the picture, because it is the collection of these machines, these organs, that collectively regulate the spontaneous flow of desire, by delegating it patches of land to grow on supervised. This is what Deleuze labels as territorialization.
Capitalism is no exception. It exists as a network of feedbacks between all of these different regulatory machines of power, created from the mass decoding of the old machines of the feudal order. The family, religious institutions, communal life, etc. Shattered by capital. In their places were the massive commodification of such, through the creation of, for example, the new consumer-oriented nuclear family. Capital is however, very much so bound to its status as stratifying. As much as it destroys, it must recreate. New institutions of power, new institutions. It must constantly engrain and totalize itself wherever it can. The prison, the family, the school, the factory, the barracks, the hospital, etc. These institutions exist to constrain and restrict desire, confining it to territory. At the same time, capital uses such power to twist desire for its own purposes. (WIP)

Messardism (

Gemerald
Glorified Communism (
) - Very cool guy with very cool beliefs, perhaps the closest to me in terms of philosophical and political matches. I have little to disagree with.
Kimno Thought (
) - Even with our political and philosophical break with each other (me embracing post-structuralism and spontaneity), you're still quite good in your foundation and in your beliefs, though obviously with typical classical Marxian limitations, alongside your humanism.- Venatrixism (
) - My student! Very much like the above, but less well-read.
Gem
Nurulisme (
) - Very good analysis of for example, capital as a deity, which I for the most part agree with, along with a few other things. My main problem though is how you cling on to psychoanalytic and Hegelian nonsense, which makes it very confusing when you claim to be a Deleuzian at the same time, but otherwise fine.

Proletariat builderism (
) - I despise the Christianity, the Platonism, and Natural Law nonsense, otherwise quite hard to follow along due to the contradictory and confusing influences.
Alstūdism (
) - Very cool as a person, but this blind petit bourgeois romanticism that you and the rest of the fascists hold dear is indeed vile, with it encouraging the self-desiring of his or hers' own repression by the abstract ideal of the "nation" and by such an ideal's militaristic fury.
Meowxism (
) - Incredibly contradictory beliefs, and you've shown yourself to not understand anything about Deleuzian or post-structuralist theory, let alone your own movement's theory. Fine person, however.
BERNHEism (
) - What saves you from being in brimstone is how honestly you present your political and economic views, for you seek only efficiency and stability no matter what for capitalism, your politics stripped of any democratic illusions of rights and the people's power, something that I very much so can respect. You're also a very good friend of mine, so there's that.
Pantheonism (
) - Here it is, the petit bourgeois socialist who wishes to relieve society of the dangers of big capital so the small capital of the petit bourgeoisie can hang on for just a short while, a reactionary at heart who seeks to entrench the tyranny of the guilds of small producers like what was in medieval times, all for the sake of some vague anti-capitalism.
