Phil Brown (1)

Marxism is very much about consciousness and alienation. Why the conflict between psychology and sociology? In this book, Phil Brown explores Freudianism and its fundamental male supremacy, and explains how it cannot be synthesized with Marxism. He then moves on to Wilhelm Reich, who he sees as fundamental to understanding economic/political/sexual repression.However, he holds Franz Fanon as the most complete synthesizer of political and psychological struggle. Brown then concludes that we need to move beyond families, beyond therapy, towards sexual integration and the maximum in psychic fullness and human freedom, total revolution.
