Deproblematizing(?) - the Politics of Desire
What you should have to do to relegate the politics of desire strictly to the purpose which it is socially salutary to perhaps widen it to most encompassing everything possible that can beneficially be desired. Because tho we are all monkeys, monkeys like to have all the things we by analogy to the monkey might also desire. The monkey that said maybe no more fighting and fucking for a little while because I want to go over there to get that tasty fruit and, y'all coming with me to get it? And, no, but that monkey went there anyway because he remembered that that fruit was super tasty; that is still a monkey too! - There is no need to say we are so high mighty supermen; they always make mistakes or at least one of those mistakes, and they always stay around too long and don't get the fruit or they don't do some other thing but just stay there, not doing it… And so on. But embrace what you want in the face of the reality that we are monkeys and monkeys are violent and do politics like chimpanzees and horny like bonobos sometimes too. So, keeping all in mind that social consequences always result from whatever you desire to do and do, but the only difference between monkeys and the monkeys that we are is, us monkeys care about the truth. And that monkey that wants to go get that tasty food store far away will also have to do his thing and… share the fruit or at least where the tree is where he got that fruit. Desire should be thought of as the totality as a crutch or framework too, so called, boil it down to what it is that you really brought back to add to that bubbling cauldron of true culture, that we all keep around as human type monkeys.
Even if that thing is just a rock, it goes in the pot! That is the consequence.
