I should've said my version of a metaphysics inspired by Deleuze, probably. I've read Capitalism and Schizoprhenia (though I did not like A Thousand Plateaus much) and What is Philosophy completely, but otherwise only fragments of work. I should also admit that I didn't understand hegel or marx well enough until after I had read deleuze, so I'm going through a small flip-flop at the moment. I'm no philosophy expert lol, just an communist engineer who reads. I have no aspirations to be the one to bring Deleuze and hegel/Marx together.

Deleuze definitely hated dialectics, though his reason for that often seemed steeped in a hatred of its all-encompassing power once taken as primal. His position as you put it still holds the possibility (imo) of derived identities having dialectical relations. This is what I meant. So not all derived identities will have dialectical relations, but some will emerge. Maybe this is super unoriginal, I dont know. But deleuze wouldnt have admitted it if it were true because he hated dialectics so much lol

Your last sentence I like, but it seems to implicitly be saying that metaphysics and dialectics are different but can both be true. Is this true to how you feel? That is kind of what I was hoping to start a convo about
