The Communist Territoriality: Marx, Deleuze, Guattari, and Twentieth Century Socialism

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the question of the relationship between politics and territoriality in the philosophical-social perspective of Marx and the followers of his ideas in the last century. In this sense, the classical Marxist thought is placed in opposition with that of Deleuze and Guattari with regard to the importance, in the dialectic between territoriality and deterritorialization, of the former with respect to the latter. The thought of Marx and the more or less faithful attempts to apply it in the previous century has always had at its center the relationship between human groups and the territory, which in symbolic terms according to Deleuze and Guattari represents the stability of existence. In this sense, Marx and his interpreters favored the last triadic moment in the process of the development of the relationship between people and territory: that of communist re-territorialization.
