The fundamental question is whether we accede to the demands of an ever more indifferent and brutalizing system of abstract economic rule, or respond with new forms of value, ways of living and caring for one another. This article will propose a framework of revolutionary love in partial response to these questions. The article will present a theoretical framework for a politics of Child and Youth Care premised in the post-Marxist writings on love and capitalism in the work of Gille Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Antonio Negri.
