Abstract

 Deleuze and Guattari in their second philosophical period, especially in the volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia, point their fingers at accusations of the capitalist machine, and consider its reactionary forces as one of its important features. Reactionary in the sense that the institution of oppression and domination, after each deterritorialization, again carries out another territorialization and follows the rigid and fixed axiom of the previous one in a new form. As a result, they accuse psychoanalysis and other educational institutions and its apparatuses of promoting fascism based on the desires of the desiring machines, which are revolutionary and schizophrenic. The main claim of this article is the introduction of another apparatus called Management Science. Based on reasons that will be explained, a critique of Management Science is more important and justified before any other apparatus, and the critiques of Deleuze and Guattari should be reoriented in that direction. In this text, we attempt to find out why the schizophrenic philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari is revolutionary, as well as explain the opposition of this philosophy to the repressive movements and reterritorializing apparatuses of the counter-revolution. Finally, we will explain the main apparatuses of capitalism- the Management Science.
