Codebreakers
“Codes” are, according to Deleuze, laws, contracts, institutions. According to the French philosopher, Marx and Freud, due to their «school of thought», remain enchained to the old [renewed] codes: a new State, a new family, a new relation of production. Nietzsche is, on the contrary, completely outside this set of codes: he is the «codebreaker» of philosophy, the anti-philosopher who disowns laws, contracts and institutions. (NT,143) He gave thought a dimension of «war-machine», a
«nomadic unit» (NT,149). Such Deleuzian
interpretation of Nietzsche’ philosophy
marks a total break with the previous
political and philosophical thought and
takes the fracture into the revolutionary
decoding scenario. In The Civilized Capitalist
Machine three decoding actions take place:
we may call the first one Schizophrenia
of the Capital and it is minutely analyzed
in the book Anti-Œdipus, the second one
is the above mentioned action of the
codebreaker, a useless position in terms
of insurrection as it does not provide any
pragmatic or epistemological indication
for a potential revolution. It’s none of
Nietzsche’s intention to create movements
nor to establish parties and new states,
because he serves both as the agent and
object of decodification (NT, 146). That is
the reason why Nietzsche is a powerful ally
to the third decoding action expressed by
Deleuze and Guattari in the Anti-Œdipus
and by the revolutionary movement born on
the barricades of May 1968 - which refused
the old ways to act and think, looking for
innovative theoretical paths as well as
efficient subversive practice. Klossowski
and Foucault are two other relevant
allies: this close-knit community will be
able to answer which revolutionary path
and accelerationist process The Civilized
Capitalist Machine passage refers to.
