THE MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM

The Mass Psychology of Fascism

by Dr. Wilhelm Reich

"The reactionary power in masses of people appears as a general fear of responsibility and fear of freedom. These are not moralistic evaluations. This fear is deeply rooted in the biological constitution of present-day man."

The polymath scientist Wilhelm Reich gives his response to Marx, his on-the-ground diagnosis of the rise of Fascism from the emotionally-sick bodies of vast numbers of Germans, and his assessment of the changes to society that are needed in order to promote health & rationality & knowledge & pleasure as the dominant effects of culture.

Suffer from my remarks about it HERE.

*As always with Reich, the term 'sexuality' must be understood quite broadly as the streaming whole-bodily field of desire-charged biological electricities. He follows the Freudian grammar of calling the root-stalk of psychic impulses according to its function as pleasurable-re-generation.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra:
A Book for All & None

by Friederich Nietzsche

"Remain true to the Earth, O my brethren..."

Nietzsche's poetic masterpiece about a radical & complicated prophet who attempts to redeem the biosphere & the human body from toxic, life-negative cultural traditions which have led us toward nihilistic collapse. What has produced our stagnation and emotional poison? How can it be overcome? And what sort of healthy beings will be capable of the emerging task -- the re-ordering the entire planet?

Mind Set!

Mind Set!
by John Naisbitt

"[...] globalization is wholly dependent upon the degree to which the world continues to decentralize."

Naisbitt, author of the classic MEGATRENDS, is now the voice of the conventional future-forecasting establishment. In "Mind Set!" he offers the principles which he employs in his attempt to comprehend and utilize the events which are going to occur planetwide. This is an example of a set of tools which purport to enable the human mind to grasp the socio-political, economic and artist regime which is already emerging.
