Deterritorialised flow

It means that capitalism was not designed in a smoky medieval castle but developed as a sort of accident, through the coming together of two previously unrelated phenomena. 1) Peasants losing their land through the enclosure of the commons, that sort of stuff--there is more and more people who look like wage laborers: they have nothing but their labor to sell, no land, no property, no means of production etc. 2) Money gradually turns into capital. Capital, per Marx, first emerges in the form of money, as merchant capital (transatlantic traders and such buying stuff to sell it elsewhere), becomes impersonal ("money doesn't smell," money doesn't change its properties by changing hands). These are the two deterritorialized flows. No longer properly feudal, but neither properly capitalist until these "flows" meet or "conjugate" as D&G put it. Now the property-less worker can go to work to directly "make money." I.e. the worker no longer produces for immediate consumption, but literally works in order to get exchange value itself--money, money as capital.-- Dzmitry Tsapkou 2019
