The Mass Psychology of Fascism

Více o knize

Focusing on the psychological underpinnings of fascism, this study by Wilhelm Reich challenges traditional views by asserting that fascism arises from the suppressed biological needs and impulses of individuals rather than from specific ideologies or socio-economic factors. He explores the impact of authoritarian family structures and organized religion in perpetuating this suppression. Reich argues that understanding the mass psychology behind fascism is essential for addressing contemporary social conflicts and overcoming the character structures that foster such movements.
