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.
The Oedipal Family and Self-Repression
Our modern analysis of desire and on ideology is deeply flawed and reductive. The question of why individuals desire their own repression has been a contentious subject for hundreds of years. From Spinoza to Marx to Freud to Reich, we have asked this question over and over. And yet, we are stuck in abstract and reductionist nonsense when talking about this. For example, Marx and Engels' thesis was that the repression of the individual was a simple ideological false consciousness, an ideology that alienated the proletarian from liberating himself. It is much more complex than this however. It is the proletarian himself who desires his own repression, who gives himself up as sacrifice to his god, Capital.
How is this possible? Why would the proletarian fight and die for his enslaver? Such a question came back to prominence with the emergence of the fascist movements of Europe. Millions attracted by the mystic petit bourgeois conception of the nation and the state, willingly repressing themselves for such an ideal. The proletariat and their movement, the war machine against capital, had been swept and coopted by the Fasci, its resources used to fuel the statist machine and maintain itself and the iron grip of Capital.
The question is how people are inclined to actually do such a thing. Desire for Deleuze and Guattari is something spontaneous and affirmative in its natural state. But under for example capitalism, it must be coded and strictly controlled in order to benefit and not turn on Capital. It does this through the machines and territories of society, which act to control and maintain the status quo. Capital must discipline human desire to be fit its own desire, through the production of molar desire. The school, the factory, the prison, the hospital. They all exist to codify this submissive desire into us. But the most important one even today is that of the family.
The family exists as the primary radiator of repression upon of the desires of the individual, where this self-desiring for the enslavement of desire originates from, which then carries on into the school, the factory, the prison, etc. The family has, of course, existed before capitalism, its origin being the division of labor between and reinforced through gender. The modern nuclear family arose however, as a consequence of the mass territorializing of old feudal relations by Capital, the family relations of old destroyed and turned into nothing more than those suitable for capitalist reproduction. This is where the Oedipus complex is born according to Deleuze and Guattari, because through the modern nuclear family, self-repression of sexual desire is transmitted through the parent into the child, preparing the desiring subject for life in the school, in the factory, and elsewhere. The family acts as the introduction to the cruel and harsh world of control.

- 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.
