Oil is the life-blood of capitalism – the global flows of energy mirror the management of desire towards sedimentation of capitalist subjectivity. This oedipal manipulation of desire creates a schizophrenic narrative of sustainability that shapes subjectivity and resource use around increasing consumptive practices while emphasizing not consuming too much in the face of planetary scarcity for the continuation of the smooth function of capital
Tynan 11 (Aiden Tynan is a graduate student at Cardiff University in the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory, “The Pathos of Planetary Thought: Notes on Cyclonopedia”, http://violentsigns.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/the-pathos-of-planetary-thought-notes-on-cyclonopedia-part-two/, 2011)
Oil is the lubricant...decay and turn into mess’.
Capitalism primarily reproduces itself through the oedipalized repression and manipulation of desire. The capitalist mode of production requires creating blockages and redirecting flows of desire on the social body to sustain its own functioning
Gammon 10 (Earl Gammon is Lecturer in Politics and International Relations in the School of Political, Social and International Studies at the University of East Anglia. His research focuses on the development of poststructuralist and post-rationalist approaches to international political economy “Oedipal authority and capitalist sovereignty: a Deleuzoguattarian reading of IR theory”, Journal of International Relations and Development. Ljubljana: Dec 2010. Vol. 13, Iss. 4; pg. 354, 24 pgs)
For their part, Deleuze...sanctifies this separation.
This oedipal ordering of desire for capitalism has reworked society into a new era of disciplinization and control – the economy is now structured around the maintenance of subjectivity geared towards capitalist production - this is the total subsumption of Being into capitalism - where biopolitical managerialism and capitalist subjectification intersect to control every aspect of life
Vahamaki and Virtanen 05 (Jussi Vähämäki teaches political philosophy at The University of Jyväskylä and Akelsi Virtanen is a researcher at the Helsinki school of Economics and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Genova, “Deleuze, change, history”, 2005)
The way to connect the...judgment to every aspect of life.
Thus the plan: The United States federal government should eliminate all restrictions on oil extraction and production
Do not interpret the plan as simply a policy proposition – although we do defend the implementation you should read our advocacy as a strategic unleashing of desire against the oedipal repression maintaining capitalist consumption. Continued oil consumption will lead to the collapse of the economy - capitalism requires increased oil consumption to maintain growth, inevitably resulting in tearing apart the capitalist economy and bourgeoisie world order

Over the past five or so...rebuilding civilisation after the collapse.
Life is a slow dying. Attempts for control only accelerate the inherent violence of the world and breed micro-fascism, appropriating war and peace as the theatre of conflict in an endless cycle. Societal collapse and climate change offer a chance for escape from the illusion of the ego, destroying the repressive social organs of late capitalism and creating the possibility for change. We should not fear possible extinction in pursuing these lines of flight, the ballot should rather embrace these moments of zero-intensity inside extinction for the possibility of a new intensity to emerge
Aima 09 (Rahel Aima is a student at Columbia University and writer/blogger, “In the beginning was the language, and the language was gravity”, http://killingdenouement.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/in-the-beginning-was-the-language-and-the-language-was-gravity/, April 13, 2009)
In the beginning was...irrational, ex-tinctual and free.
Do not mistake this as nihilistic - this unleashing of desire as libidinal and conventional energy leads to violent deterritorialization. Politics is already ceded to the bourgeoisie elite - What is needed is a critical re-opening that allows for new autopoetic creation of the self. Evaluate the plan as a singular instance in a larger chain of becoming that loosens the all-pervasive logic of capitalism. Our affirmative is part of the process of the creation of new narratives about politics, economics, and existence to show that another world is possible. A reconceptualization of subjectivity, culture and politics is only possible in these violent moments of chaos
Halsey 05 (Mark Halsey is a professor of Criminology at the University of Melbourne, ECOLOGY AND MACHINIC THOUGHT: nietzsche, deleuze, Guattari, ANGELAKI: journal of the theoretical humanities, volume 10 number 3 december 2005)
As already explained, to...of the plane of consistency.
and, The new world born of the violence of environmental destruction is good in and of itself because of the radical possibility for change that it presents. The question of sustainability should not be posed, rather we should think of environmental concerns in the context of violent deterritorialization and the spaces it opens for new social, cultural, and economic relations. The commitment to chaos and uncertainty of this new world must be unconditional; we cannot approach the collapse from the context of management but instead must affirm an ethical commitment to the possibility the process of catastrophe opens
Goh 08 (Irving Goh is with the Department of Comparative Literature at Cornell University. His research focus is in continental philosophy, and its intersections with other disciplines such as literature, politics, culture, architecture, etc. His articles have appeared in Cultural Politics, Theory Culture & Society, Social Identities, Fast Capitalism, genre, and Jordan Crandall's Under Fire 2. He has published on Deleuze-Guattari and politics in CTheory.

De-framing or deterritorialization after...not just a surf but a tsunami.
The Role of the ballot is to affirm life with such an intensity that finitude becomes impossible - Death is inevitable and irrelevant to the question of the ballot - death is NOT an the end of living. Rather it is a joyous re-opening of virtual possibilities of life, this singular body we experience gives way as an expression of pure becoming
Dukic 09 (Vladimir Dukic is a professor of philosophy at the University of Trent, “The Two-Fold Structure of the Death-Event”, Gnosis, Volume 10, Number 3, 2009)
What does this notion of...means to die—a counter-actualization.
