The push toward socially just music education begs the question of whether activist music teaching may foster a new autocracy.In this paper, I consider how Deleuzian lines of flight and the related concepts of nomadism, territorialization, deterritorialization, and reterritorialization trouble or extend activist music education.I further explore the question of how students might dissent and draw a "line of flight" from the activist authority of the teacher.I draw on Deleuze and Guattari's (2005/1987) nomadism and "lines of flight" to consider the limits placed on the lines of flight drawn by students when a leftist ideology operates in the classroom
