Marksizm psychoanalityczny w koncepcjach Ottona Grossa i Wilhelma Reicha

Pychoanalytic Marxism in Otto Gross’s and Wilhelm Reich’s concept.

In the beginning of the 20th century two disciples of Sigmund Freud tried to synthesize conclusions which Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud had made. Otto Gross and Wilhelm Reich regarded psychoanalytic theory as a complement of Marx’s revolutionary ambition. They considered Freud’s conception as theory of necessity for persecution a social revolution. Two disciples of Freud also considered sexual revolution as the best way to persecute social revolution. Otto Gross used sexual revolution for the first time in history. He also used psychoanalysis in political and social issues for the first time. Wilhelm Reich made the sophisticated Freudo-Marxism theory. According to him current patriarchal system is a result of suppression of human sexuality. Social system that suppress human sexuality is bad. ‘The economic base’ is not enough to give legitimacy to human being. It is determined by authoritarian bourgeois morality.  Reich complemented Marx’s ideas with sexual economics theory. Psychoanalytic Marxism is overthrowing for social system.
