Deleuze's Critique of Traditional Politics
- Deleuze criticizes traditional political categories like the individual, state, and society for limiting perspectives.
- He suggests viewing politics through the lens of "machines," which seek connections to bring about change.
Machines as Political Units
- Deleuze and Guattari introduce the concept of "machines" to move beyond the individual subject.
- Machines are defined as entities within a political landscape that seek connections to bring about a particular actuality.
Bicycle as a Machine
- A bicycle is a machine with no fixed identity; its purpose is determined by connections with other machines (e.g., a human).
- This illustrates how machines are actualized through connections, not inherent purpose.
