As the ‘war-machine’ is not about war but about destratified plateaus, it stands as a figuration of alternative nomad thoughts, and yet it runs the risk of being both rhizomatic and at the same time arboreal. Otherwise, how do we account for the desiring-production of terrorism as a war machine combating the state apparatus of capture? Is terror a nomadic or fascicular rejoinder to the ‘military-Keynesianism’ (Buchanan 2000: 113) of the contemporary neoliberal social machine? Terror, being born of and simultaneously militating against the capitalist mega-machine, might invoke Deleuzo-Guattarian ‘toolkits’ or their hermeneutic apparatus to reclaim its validity as a heuristic model of radical nomadism. That said, and notwithstanding its global spread, does terror adumbrate planes of over-codified desire that defeat the real schizophrenisation of desiring-production? What are the ‘dark precursors’ or the ‘flows and schizzes’ of terror? Does it destratify only for the dissolution of desire, arresting its nomadism in its dogmatic figuration of desire? Destratification, the process of liberating oneself from the yoke of strata, is, according to Deleuze and Guattari, both easy and dangerous; it is a transformative mechanism that abhors the death drive.
