What if capitalism isn’t just an economic system—but a
transcendental structure that configures our very experience? In
this episode, philosopher Henry Somers-Hall helps us unravel
Deleuze and Guattari’s enigmatic claim that capitalism is an
axiomatic system. Drawing from Kant, set theory, and the
metaphysics of representation, we explore how capital binds and
rebinds flows—subjects, territories, even revolt itself. Together
we ask: what becomes of revolution when even resistance can be
axiomatized?
