1) About the place of Deleuzians and Althusserians, as well as of dialectical materialism, we have nothing to add, except that the philosophical space they occupy stands in variable proximities to the pure expression of political interests whose service they guarantee. To grab the 'horns' of this fluctuating triangle in space means that there exist, of course, as collective phenomena, fluctuating Deleuzians who are by no means incorrigible fascists; there also surely exist fluctuating Althusserians who are capable of feeling repulsed by the real practical form of social-fascism; and also philosophical partisans of dialectical materialism who are still inconsistent and hesitant with regard to Maoist politics.
2) By 'anti-Leninist Maoists' we understand those who, under the pretence of preserving Marxism from revisionism, accuse the Leninist theory of the party and the class essence of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism for the degeneration into social-fascism. In so doing, whether they are council communists or theoreticians of the 'abolition of wagelabour', sectarians of the plebs or of popular memory, or apologists of the peasantry as the only truc!"revolutionary class, they objectively tend towards proximity with the Deleuzian 'massists' and their anti-militant fury. Their utopias of the countryside - workerist or anti-repressive, depending on the case - are disarming in that they are opposed to the historical task of the moment: the constitution of the proletariat into the political class (which is something altogether different from its existence solely as a social class).
3) By 'pro-China neo-revisionists' we understand the ossified Marxist-Leninists, of the Humanite Rouge kind. Their philosophical vacuity is, in reality, extreme.
4) The 'eclectics' are those who discern full well the common essence of the 'desiring' faction and of Althusser: the disavowal of the autonomy of the proletariat and the hatred of Maoist militants. The eclectics validate both the sexo-fascism and the theoreticism. Typical example: Macciocchi or Tel Que!.
