                           an article entitled: 

                   A Monist View of the Relation between
                     Libidinal and Political Economies 
                        and the Problem of Fascism

In this article, the question of the connection between desire and society, 
in particular with respect to fascism, is examined by contrasting two 
intimately linked but very different approaches - that of Reich in his 
pre-American or Freudo-Marxist period, and that of Deleuze and Guattari's 
biosocial theory.  The two viewpoints correspond to dualist versus monist 
conceptualizations of the connection between libidinal and political 
economies.  As the hydra of fascism once again raises its ugly head, 
the issues brought up by this 1979 lecture remain more pressing than ever.  
And from any viewpoint that seeks expansion of aetherometric knowledge, 
the monist notion of the connection between desire and political economy 
is an opening to understanding our natural and social histories as 
biophysical productions that obey two distinct energy regimes.


Yours,
