"So what is the solution? Which is the revolutionary path? Psychoanalysis is of little help, entertaining as it does the most intimate of relations with money, and recordingāwhile refusing to recognize itāan entire system of economic-monetary dependences at the heart of the desire of every subject it treats. Psychoanalysis constitutes for its part a gigantic enterprise of absorption of surplus value. But which is the revolutionary path? Is there one?āTo withdraw from the world market, as Samir Amin advises Third World countries to do, in a curious revival of the fascist āeconomic solutionā? Or might it be to go in the opposite direction? To go still further, that is, in the movement of the market, of decoding and deterritorialization? For perhaps the flows are not yet deterritorialized enough, not decoded enough, from the viewpoint of a theory and a practice of a highly schizophrenic character. Not to withdraw from the process, but to go further, to āaccelerate the process,ā as Nietzsche put it: in this matter, the truth is that we havenāt seen anything yet."
