I wonder if this is along the same lines as Étienne de la Boétie’s "The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude" (1549) which I was just reading about in Ruth Kinna's “The Government of No One”?

This piece is quite a bit different. Boétie is focused more on voluntary political subjugation through norms, religion, and violence. It’s a pretty straightforward sociopolitical critique.

This text is an examination of the relation of desire and action using Spinoza’s ideas on body, thought, philosophy and consciousness paired with deleuze’s interpretation. It addresses the individual subject and spreads out from there. Heavier on the pure philosophy and psychology as you’d expect from that pairing.
