My point with desire vs war is basically 谋事在人,成事在天. Doesn't Deleuze go through the whole trouble of trying to establish that desire isn't about lack or whatever? War requires contradictory foundations, desire doesn't seem to.

That was Deleuze's move away from psychoanalytical Oedipal lock-in, desire is little more than a micro-fit/start/intensity attached to a machinic capability. Desire's 'foundations' are Zero and the swerve, same as everything else, but it quickly stratafies.

War's foundations are...what? The non-contradiction of a Hobbesian all-out-war for resource as potential-productive futures?

Look, does war strike you as fully positive?

"Desire is precarious, deterritorialized, but it's the last lifeline for the socius and capitalism as a social order. Otherwise, it's all going to burst into dehiscent death drive." - Guattari It's fully positive, but as a pure force war lacks the ability to create strata.

That's... how conflict works, right? There are identifiable parties trying to negate each other.

it’s about negating attitudes and behaviors, not each other (doing a civilized which war is)

I mean in the sense of conflicting interests.

... and then there's the easily overlooked interests of the conflict.

"the house always wins" != "no losses ever happen anywhere", not sure how much simpler I can make this.
