Lack
Lack is a countereffect of desire; it is deposited, distributed, vacuolized within a real that is natural and social.

Describing desire in terms of Lack is a relatively easy common-sense to engage in and acts as coordinated disjunctions for anti-production. This allows anti-production (and the Body Without Organs) to fall back on production and appropriate it, miraculate it (just like capital does with the modes of production).
Lack (manque*) is created, planned, and organized in and through social production (Technical Machines). It is counterproduced as a result of the pressure of antiproduction; the latter falls back on (se rabat sur)the forces of production and appropriates them. [...] The deliberate creation of lack as a function of market economy is the art of a dominant class. This involves deliberately organizing wants and needs (manque) amid an abundance of production; making all of desire teeter and fall victim to the great fear of not having one's needs satisfied; and making the objects dependent upon a real production that is supposedly exterior to desire (the demands of rationality) while at the same time the production of desire is categorized as fantasy and nothing but fantasy.

Social Production in this form now values itself above desiring-production, also spawning the false dichotomy of Individual Fantasy to Group Fantasy
