The choice of bio-political plane of immanence - the life and its productivity that is exposed to the capture but always escapes - is the strong point of Deleuze's revolution; it is also the point that Deleuze is forced to think again unceasingly, since it must mark the distance between the neoliberal and the libertarian differentialism he promotes. Deleuze's struggle (then current) is now outdated, against an evanescent fetish. The Oedipus, against which Deleuze moves his joyous war machine, is dissolved by the social explosion of differences, that the same Deleuzian thought invites to "letting be". Against the interpretation (Lazzarato) that leads capitalism to debt, the Value works differently by the Law and refers to the logic of not-All. The market scene, with its crossing of choices, desires, communication proposals, has common features with the Deleuzian ontology. The institutionalist choice of Deleuze engages the pragmatic plan of humean tradition, highlighting once again the relationship with the market.
