Using the "anti-oedipal" insights of Deleuze and Guattari's classic work on capitalism and schizophrenia, Perez argues for "anti-fascist strategies in everyday life." This book is a first step in applying schizoanalytic theories to concrete social issues like feminism, the family, madness, desire, advertising, sexuality, subcultures, and--structure of all structures--capitalism itself. This is not a book about the joys of linguistic masturbation à la Derrida, Barthes, de Man, etc., but of issues of everyday life: how we interact with others, how we oppress others--mostly, how we oppress ourselves.
