D&G weekend breather

[Michael Bailey]

This quote:

"All we are saying is" [give peace a chance might have been in the
back of their minds when they wrote this] "that the identity of
effect, the continuity of
genera, the totality of all BwO's, can be obtained on the plane of
consistency only
by means of an abstract machine capable of covering and even creating it,
by assemblages capable of plugging into desire" [and even creating it?]
"of effectively taking charge of desires, of assuring their continuous
connections
and transversal tie-ins.  Otherwise the BwO's of the plane will remain separated
by genus, marginalized, reduced to means of bordering, while on the
"other plane" the emptied or cancerous doubles will triumph."

Now I would be the first to admit I'm not doing a thorough read,
or grasping every nuance, but this is similar to a call for unity.

I'm reminded of the passage in Shea and Wilson's _Illuminatus_
where Stella Maris tells Simon Moon, "perhaps what you are looking
for is an organization of the imagination."
(Simon Moon was a typical "red-diaper" leftist who suffered the gas
and truncheons
of the Chicago version of the Events of 1968 and made networking
connections there which took him into a very different dimension of radicalism)

also, that bit about the "doubles" seems like it might possibly be
germane to AtD.

Finally, this "plane of consistency" is a concept I hope to recur to
both in the rest of the  twitterpated commentary I'm churning out
(but hey, the text does seem to admire Burroughs/Gysin's cut-and-paste
methods, so I didn't think I was too far out of line, or "off the plane
of consistency" in applying them to the Becoming chapter...)
and maybe in other texts such as Anti-Oedipus or even AtD
