You’re not going to get anything out of D&G if your goal is to critique Marx qua Marx. Anti-Oedipus is a response to the failures of communism in France, post May ‘68. It’s an attempt to rethink desire ontologically. It’s a genealogy of various historical human societies ala Nietzsche’s (Deleuze’s model) genealogy of morals. Capitalism has a somewhat positive valence (as does schizophrenia). Without getting bogged down in the metaphysics, it is THIS discussion of capitalism that leads to the entire philosophy of Nick Land, the most radically PRO-capitalist philosopher.

You’re thinking of the discourse of the death of meta narratives. Lyotard and Derrida would be the French fries in question.

And Marx is exclusively concerned with a constrained world. He is only interested in material relations. That’s the entire point of his project.

Also, Marx was not opposed to capitalism. He thought it was necessary. He thought it was a vast improvement over feudal relations. If he was mistaken, it was in his faith that capitalism was inevitably leading to communism (D&G do not agree in the slightest, writing from the perspective of the failed communist revolution in France ‘68).

They should have waited to see a replay of that 3rd down spot before rushing the 4th down
Going left and no hard count every time. Switch up one of the two at least, damn

PPL, 1 rest day, for years. Switched to PLP about 8 months ago to give upper body a break. Happily legs have benefited the most, probably because they were taxed a little on pull days. When in a calorie surplus and recovery is on point, I’ll typically work in extra biceps on push days and triceps on pull days.
Has Pete ever ever heard of running to set up a short 4th
You can definitely see the potential of this offense when the O line is solid

fricking miracle we drove that far down the field with the O line performance
Carr has been good. 1 bad mistake. No time in the pocket. 1 jobbing by the refs on a deep throw. Otherwise solid
Sometimes a defender gets their head around and intercepts an underthrown pass. Most of the time they plow into the receiver when they get beat and are trying to make up ground… that shouldn't be rewarded either.

On the other hand, I'm all for making PI a 15 yard penalty
