Microfascism

Microfascism is a psychological concept drawn from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their Capitalism and Schizophrenia body of work. Michel Foucault described an opposition to microfascism as a principal objective of the duology in the preface to Anti-Oedipus, saying that the major enemy of the work was "not only historical fascism, the fascism of Hitler and Mussolini, but the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behaviour, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us."^[1] This concept has subsequently attracted academic interest for describing the process by which people come into fascist modes of thought.

Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Capitalism and Schizophrenia is a two-volume set of books published by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari between 1972 and 1980. These two volumes are titled Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus. These books are generally received as a response to the events of May 1968. And Nick Heffernan has described them as an inversion of the Lacanian structuralism that had come to the forefront in the aftermath of May 68. A principal focus of the work was on the idea of desire as a system of flows and breaks that precede and undermine representation. ^[2]
