ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the liberal interpretation of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. It also analyses the reception of the oeuvre of Deleuze and Guattari by political philosophy. The chapter demonstrates that there is a liberal interpretation of the Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy, which is operated by liberal philosophers who advocate capitalism and the market. Paradoxically, a form of liberal interpretation of Deleuze and Guattari's political philosophy is its Marxist critique. From this perspective, Deleuze and Guattari are enemies because their philosophy allows for capitalism and the market to be advocated. According to French Marxist philosopher Isabelle Garo, Deleuze and Guattari reject Marxism and the idea of global and revolutionary change since their work does not retain crucial notions such as class struggle, relations of production, superstructure or infrastructure. The position of the Marxist philosopher and literary critic Fredric Jameson is more complex. Manuel De Landa develops his own philosophy based on a specific interpretation of Deleuze and Guattari.
