Recited in the same way that, for Deleuze, politics is not just a zero-level struggle between agents but an altogether salvaged existence (a culture of safety and untarnished self-preservation) that thrives only in the radical Otherness that undermines the very foundations of our existence (what is left of the human, after we lose the animal after we lose the child the amount of money…). It is only with Kant that the Collectivists ideal (the notion that all positive modifications must be given by way of a full analysis of the underlying theoretical [immaterial] manifold—for Kant, the “collective likeness” of the total is the fundamental impression) is brought to light. It is only when Kant brings this topic of the transcendent [nature] behind the homologous [concepts] that things really start to loosen up a bit. Still, is not the ultimate political implication of everything Kant touches here only the opposite one as in Fichte’s Human/Soul: any attempt at the beginning to formulate the Totalitarianurdist project in these terms will always result in the same horrifying Fichte’s Scream—no wonder, then, that no detailed analysis of the German or French revolutions can be found in the index of this book. It is because, in this sense, one should recall here Marx’s famous Essays on National Liberation, which is precisely about the Hegelian political logic.
