so that it is no longer a question of making "people express themselves,but rather to provide small vacuoles of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say."

There is a point at which the work of Debord (as Hegelian Marxist) and Deleuze (as spinozist marxist ) meets. Deleuze rightly said that we are not left alone enough. Deleuze never tired of writing that we suffer from an excess of communication, that we are "riddled with pointless talk, insane quantities of words and images," #philosophy #politics 1/n
