Why is it that the masses desired and worked toward their own
servitude in the 1930s? In this episode, Craig, Will, and Adam
take a look at an essay in Wilhelm Reich’s Mass Psychology of
Fascism, “Ideology as a Material Force.” Here, Reich pushes back
against some of his Marxist contemporaries. To Reich, the purely
economic explanation of the rise of fascism is insufficient. What
are the limitations of the purely economic explanation of the
success of reactionary politics? How is it that the fascist
political project is able to alter mass psychological structure
of the working populace? What can be gained from Reich’s reading
of Freud and his notions of the sex-economy and sex politics? How
does the family structure replicate and reaffirm the
authoritarian state? And how does Reich’s work impact our
readings of Herbert Marcuse, Deleuze, and Guattari. Also
mentioned: Tiqqun and Lyotard.
