This is like shitting in Shawn P. Wilbur's face and laughing.
Ridiculous bombastic statements make for good clickbait titles.
Imagine reading all those authors listed in the description and thinking you have a good grip of anarchy.

Recently there's been another influx of Deleuzian entryism into anarchist discourse. There seems to be much excitement and "gee whiz this is neat, looking forward to reading it" but not much people seem to have read it (https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/128927/a-while-back-i-mentioned-a-book-len...) enough to make a compelling argument as to why it's relevant to anarchy and what concrete applications it might have, or embodiment in daily life, other than slippery academic sounding discourse.

The appeal, entrenchment and encroachment of academia into anarchist discourse is a byproduct of the second-hand conspicuous consumption of the knowledge economy, as the circulation of memes. Their daily lives seemingly so impoverished as to yearn for the meager crumbs of the student life. Dealing only in shiny abstractions, alienated from everyday life, they speak of Maoist guerillas (http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anne-olivier-outrun-the-mirage#toc3) with corpse in mouth and follow it with a Deleuzian mouthwash thinking that gargling verbiage will mask the stench.

Understandably, Deleuze jumped to his death, merely reading him is enough incitement. What I don't understand is how interest is such that some dupes want to posthumously induct him as an honorary anarchist in the virtual anarchist hall of fame (https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/130176) without having read him enough to be sure if such a thing even makes sense, asking others, but no one responds.
