Desire Is the Engine of Revolution
Desire production is intrinsic to life, akin to a fundamental will to power. It is crucial to understand that desire isn't dictated by external standards or a transcendent authority, such as Freud's Oedipus complex. Instead, desire should be viewed as a social force, allowing for a process of experimentation rather than conformity. This perspective challenges outdated theories of desire and emphasizes its role as a revolutionary force. The drive for desire is what propels action, transforming potential into reality, and has historically been suppressed by rigid psychoanalytic frameworks. Recognizing desire's revolutionary potential is key to harnessing its inherent power.
