I haven't read the Guattari essay to which Unleash supplied the reference,
so I don't know.  But having read other stuff from late Guattari, I would
say that the group as such is no longer viable and has been
de-territorialized.  I don't see how this would entail or accompany a
further critique of the macro/micro- politics division.
