from labor to capital and the BwO

I'm not sure I've been terribly successful in picking apart Deleuze and Guattari this week, the combination of a head cold and 1000 plateaus creating a particularly cluttered and stuffy environment in my brain. But I couldn't help but read D&G through the other texts we've discussed, particularly through Plant. They seem primarily concerned with structural un-doing, and their rhizomatic text struck me as a theory-remix, an attempt to disrupt out categories and mental frameworks, particularly in the way we consider capitalism.
They combine flow, production, and pattern in the "desiring machine," which is the catalyst for production. Desiring machines struck me as appealing to Plant because they seem to create it as feminine. Schizophrenic and repressed, the flows are connective tissue between partial objects, and are even described as menstrual fluid.
In contrast, the body without organs is a nonproductive force (and very anti-Freudian in this reading, as the non-female, or male, is the non-productive). What puzzles me is its connection to entropy, or anti-pattern, as it "sets up a counterflow of amorphous, undifferentiated fluid."(9) In capitalism the body without organs is capital itself, "appropriating for itself all surplus production and arrogating to itself both the whole and the parts of the process."(10)
This comparison really strikes me from the IR, political science perspective as a criticism of capitalism in the vein of Polanyi. Deleuze and Guattari say capitalism perverts the world because capital takes on an artificial importance "since all of labour's social productive forces appear to be due to capital, rather than labour itself."(11) According to Polanyi's criticism of the capitalist system, capital is not a productive force in itself. More importantly, the foundations of capitalism rely on an essential fiction, that land, money, and labor are all commodities. The commodification of labor is similar to the body without organs in capitalism as being in conflict with the direct productive force, the desiring machine.
Despite these connections, I'm not sure how to define the body without organs in a manner that relates to its title (Why is it called a body? Why is it without organs?), and I can't make much sense of their use of schizophrenia something I'd like to unpack in class.
