"Creativity and Intoxication" with Adam C. Jones: https://thenewcentre.org/seminars/creativity-and-intoxication/
In this episode, we explore Félix Guattari’s essay "Everybody Wants to Be a Fascist", dissecting its critique of micro-fascisms in everyday life. The discussion examines how desire, power, and subjectivity become entangled in oppressive structures beyond traditional authoritarianism. Drawing from Guattari’s solo work and his collaboration with Gilles Deleuze, we analyze how resistance must operate at both individual and collective levels to escape fascistic formations in contemporary society.
