Massenpsychologie des Faschismus

In this book, Wilhelm Reich provides a groundbreaking analysis of the psychological and social factors that contributed to the success of fascism in Germany.

He argues that fascist ideology is closely tied to the repression of sexual and emotional needs, and that the Nazis exploited these repressed desires through their propaganda.

Reich critiques the traditional communist approach to understanding fascism and instead emphasizes the importance of psychoanalytic insights into the emotional and sexual lives of the working class.

The book also explores how fascist structures can manifest in broader modern mass society, including in Soviet propaganda and the rise of reactionary forms of governance.
