the parts of the desiring-machine, and elicits from the latter joyous
movements of deterritorialization that overcome all the territorialities
of nation and party; and lastly, a humanist antimachinism,
which wants to rescue imaginary or symbolic desire, to turn it back
against the machine, standing ready to level it onto an Oedipal
apparatus (Surrealism versus Dadaism, or Chaplin versus the
Dadaist Buster Keaton). 17
And precisely because it is not a matter of ideology, but of a
machination that brings into play an entire group unconscious characterizing
a historical epoch, the tie between these attitudes and the
social and political field is complex, although it is not indeterminate.
Italian Futurism clearly sets forth the conditions and the
organizational forms of a fascist desiring-machine, with all the
equivocations of a nationalist and war-hungry "left." Russian Futurists
attempt to slip their anarchist elements into a party machine that
crushes them. Politics is not the strong point of the Dadaists.
Humanism effects a withdrawal of the investment of desiringmachines
which nonetheless continue to operate inside it. But the
problem of desire itself was posed in the confrontation of these attitudes,
the problem of the position of desire, i.e., that of the
relationship of respective immanence between desiring-machines
and social technical machines, between those two extreme poles
where desire invests paranoiac fascist formations, or, on the contrary,
revolutionary schizoid flows. The paradox of desire is that it
always requires such a long analysis, an entire analysis of the unconscious,
in order to disentangle the poles and draw out the nature of
the revolutionary group trials-for desiring-machines.
