Abstract

The present article makes a reflection on the possibility of thinking to the political philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and its relation with the democracy. The concept of becoming-democratic is defended as an effective tool to sustain a philosophical criticism and a political militancy in front of the capitalist system, and its most current expression, the control society. First, a critical analysis is made of two authors (PhillipeMengue and Paul Patton) who examine the limits and principles of a democratic politics in Deleuze. Then, an understanding of democracy is promoted from three Deleuzian concepts. Democracy is understood as a rhizome, as a revolutionary and minority becoming, and as a war machine.
