Desire Transformed: From Internal to Social

Desire acts as a revolutionary force that has historically been suppressed by psychoanalytical frameworks rooted in Freudian concepts. These frameworks misinterpret desires as mere reflections of an internalized psychosexual structure, leading individuals to focus their desires inwardly, primarily towards their families. Consequently, the majority of individual desire fails to break into the social and political spheres. Only a small portion of desire can manifest as potential for societal change, yet even this is constrained by the prevailing social and political systems, which are influenced by capitalist forces. This perspective reflects a deeper critique of traditional psychoanalysis and the need to re-evaluate how desire functions within societal contexts.
