Fun fact: Félix Guattari's ideal psychiatric care setting is to literally let the inmates run the asylum.
True as fuck, and it's surely problematic. But he's really not your normal post-structualist (my mistake, I forgot to say he's actually pretty critical of post-structuralism), he isn't like Lyotard or Derrida. Felix's anti-oedipal views were quite questionable but I feel like he was an unnecessary necessity. If you think of Felix as another Nietzschean political thinker then, at least to me, more and more things start to make sense. I was initially aversive to him but, when I investigated into what's been going on in the US (since Nick Land, a neoreactionary political thinker, was
also influenced by Deleuze and Guattari), it starts to make sense that anyone with unitarian morals should be hating him for how dangerous his ideas are. His ideas on the familial unit are pretty weird at first glance, but I personally think it was important for the project of articulating psychological insight pertaining to the subjectivity of our individual units and the subjectivity of the collective. In this way, you can still draw interesting insights from his ideas on the machinic unconscious among many other things. It may be that some of these are not new, but dude was
really philosophizing with a hammer; and I think he actually made a pretty decent attempt. I feel like these works have been quite neglected because, understandably, it doesn't firstly have any empirical underpinning, he's alike the weird kid in school as to the ugly french philosopher in contemporary right-wing politics. This doesn't mean that it isn't ontologically rich; but it's also super easy for trannies and pedophiles to rationalize their thinking with Guattari just like how they rationalize themselves with Nietzsche—and philosophy in general. Just my opinion; I'm not saying I'm supportive of these two as a whole.
Very weird thinker, but it's good to know better what you are against instead of going "French philosopher? Anti-Oedipus? Word salad. Opinion Discarded". Despite all of the weird shit he's done as a person, his ideas are still pretty interesting. My only concern with people who are engaging with both Guattari and Nietzsche is that they are good people. He's a deeply experimental thinker, sometimes a little too experimental for my taste. But to me: Guattari is Nietzsche with a post-freudian software update after the third reich.
