fascism is psychoanalysis in reverse
Examines fascism as a Reichian phenomenon gone awry - the fascist male experiences ego-dissolution in early infancy, finds it threatening, and so builds for himself a "body armor" within which are contained such "female" traits and emotions (unaknowledged) as weakness, fear, guilt, etc. Through repetitive conditioning and a brutal pedagogy, these negative, shadowy perceptions are then ...
