A few "good bullets" can be spared and more "good" holes can be dug. Once hopes that the becoming-human will find itself against the same wall as the human…at least in thought.

Or if Guattari was always already with Deleuze on this point by A Thousand Plateaus? I wonder if Guattari's search for new and creative modes of subjectivity ever really was just another name for his search for new becomings? The way he talks about subjectivity makes me think that, instead of a fractal ontology in mind, his concept of minority brings a fractal politics to the fore....in fact, you could say that their definition of power centers in plateau 9 conjures the image of a fractal politics, since power centers are defined precisely by what they allow to escape.
