 Hi everyone, this is Chico. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another book related video. Now what we're going to do in this video is read excerpts of Wilhelm Reich's mass psychology of fascism. And this is a book that Wilhelm Reich, originally the first edition he put out in the 1930s during the rise of fascism in Europe. And it was sort of a historical account, sort of an analysis of what was going on in terms of the economics of the situation, in terms of the politics of the situation and how he understood the powers that we be were sort of controlling the psyche of the society so they could obtain more power and basically give rise, sort of a historical account of how fascism came to be in Europe and why a certain segment of society chose these leaders to lead them down that road, that path. And Wilhelm Reich is a unique character. He is the only person that I know of that both Nazi Germany and the United States government burned his books, which is one of the reasons that he hit my radar and I started reading about it. And this book, the mass psychology of fascism, and Wilhelm Reich's sort of has a huge library related to the human psyche and how the sexuality plays a role, a major role in how our society is formed. And this book has a lot to say about that. Now I haven't finished this book yet. I'm up to here. Okay. There's a preface to this which starts on page 11 and goes to page 26 for the or 27 for the preface. Okay. And then there's a little segment that's got a glossary of terms. And as far as the text of the the reading of the text, 125 pages into the book. I'm about, you know, a third of the way into the book. And it is a heavy read. And I'm taking my own sweet time with it. So I thought we'd read some excerpts from this book. And I've highlighted the living daylights out of this book, you know, taking notes and underlying stuff and highlight a specific paragraphs. Okay. So how we're going to decide what to read what which excerpts to read from this book is basically we're also live streaming this recording on Twitch as well. So what we've decided to do is basically chat the people who are watching this live are going to decide which pages we're going to read either from the prefects, which is from page 11 to 27, or from the main body of the book, which is, you know, I'm 125 pages deep. So we can go from page starts on page three, I believe. So page three all the way up to 127 125 is game. Okay. And as soon as you know, they mentioned a page, what we're going to do is we're going to flip to that page and read anything that I might have highlighted. And I've basically highlighted in most of the pages here, there are certain pages, for example, this page, there is no highlight. So we'll read if we hit a page where I have nothing highlighted or starred or anything like this, we flip to the next page or the previous page and read an excerpt from that. Okay. And that's the way we're going to approach it. And hopefully we'll get some good readings going on. I've already shared about three quotes, three segments from what I've read as I've been reading it on our discord page and on Twitter and gab and minds. I've linked up those segments. And again, this is the third edition of the mass psychology of fascism that I have. It came out in 1970. And he originally, Wilhelm Reich originally wrote this book in the 1930s. And he did a serious revamp to it in 1945, I believe, after everything had played out with the rise of the Third Reich and fascism taking over in Italy and Spain and stuff like this. Okay. So that's our little intro to this. I hope you enjoy. And what we'll do, we're going to go to chat. I'm going to get caught up with some of the comments. But what we might do is we're definitely going to read whatever pages that people have recommended. There's a couple of pages that people have already mentioned, which is basically reading page 47 from this book and from the prefects reading page 16. Okay. So those are the first two pages we're going to flip to. And the odds are, there are certain words here that we're going to have to look up. And there's a glossary here. Let me read you the glossary. Just in case they come up. So we know what the words are that he has a definition for, right? We're not going to read the whole glossary. I'm just going to read you the names. And there's a couple of names here that are a couple of words, phrases that he's using that are pretty important. One of them is sex economy. Okay. So the glossary where he's defined certain terminology or the following. In the glossary, he has bions, biopathy, character analysis, character structure, or orgasm anxiety, orgasmic impotence, organ energy, ergonomic, energetic, functionalism, sex economy, sex pole, vegetal therapy, and work democracy. Okay. Those are the words that he decided to define. Okay. And sex economy is pretty important. So let's read sex economy because sex economy is going to appear a lot. Okay. So the definition of sex economy, quote, the term refers to the manner of regulation of biological energy or what is the same thing of the economy, of the sexual energies of the individual. Sex economy means the manner in which an individual handles his biological energy. How much of it he dams up and how much of it he discharges or ghastically. The factors that influence this manner of regulation are of sociological, psychological, and biological nature. The science of sex economy consists of that body of knowledge that was derived from a study of these factors. This term was applicable to Reich's work from the time of his refutation of Freud's cultural philosophy to the discovery of the organ when it was superseded by organomy, the science of the life energy. Okay. Chicho, glad to catch you. I'm grabbing my dictionary. Seriously, grab your dictionary. I've highlighted some words here that I've had to look up. Sometimes I'm reading this at home. So I look up the words. Sometimes I'm reading this at the park or the beach or during transit where I don't have access to the internet and I'm so close to things and I put a little question mark near words and stuff like this. So I'll look them up later and sometimes I have the chance sometimes I don't. Okay. Thank you for the twitch prime, subscribe, crypto, krypton core. Okay. Have you multiple dictionaries or online, right? So we already had a couple of pages picked to read quotes from or segments from, right? First was page 67, I believe. Hello. I always watch your long videos with open discussion and this, and this, the first time I've been able to catch you live. Glad to have you here. Thank you for the subscribe and the follow. Love your videos. Amazing pleasure to create these brother or sister, of course, right? Okay. So let me see what page it was. It was 46, I believe. And then we had 69. So 46, 47. Let me write these down so I don't have to scroll back up. So page 47 and then prefix page 16. And then we had page 69, right? 47, prefix 16. And then we had page 69. Who was it with page 69? So let's go to page 47 and read an excerpt from that. And then please feel free to, you know, discuss it among yourselves. Those of you watching live. And sometimes I have to take a double take and reread these things. And I've had to reread these things. If I remember what I've highlighted, what it's referring to from previous pages, I might give a little intro to it. Okay. Military soldiers. And I'll read you the, I give my own little tag phrases. I write them at the top of the book inside the pages or below or whatever, wherever I have space. So when I'm flipping through this thing, if I want to read something regarding, you know, for example, in here on page 42, I have fascism was a middle class, was a middle class movement, right? And sort of trying to understand what, how fascism came to be and why it was, right? And where the movement and originally, you know, where the support was coming from and whatnot. So for page 47. Okay. In the top, basically my tag two words are this. Military and soldier. Okay. So let me read you because sometimes I just highlight a word. Right. All these sex words may have not you towards number 69. So let me read you this sentence here. And we're going to read the previous paragraph. And I'm going to read you this line here. And if it needs be, we're going to read a little bit further as well. Okay. Quote from page 47 of Wilhelm Reich's mass psychology of fascism, the arch personification of this type in the psychology of the masses is to be found in the army sergeant. Butler's valets and other such employees of aristocratic families are a flagrant example of the power of this identification by adapting the attitudes way of thinking and demeanor, demeanor, demeanor of the ruling class. They undergo a complete change and in an effort to minimize their lonely origin often appear as character caricatures of the people whom they serve. This identification with authority, firm, state, nation, et cetera, which can be formulated. I am the state, the authority, the firm, the nation cost, constitutes a psychic reality and is one of the best illustrations of an ideology that has become a material force. At first it is only the idea of being like one superior that stirs the mind of the employee or the official, but gradually owning to his pressing material dependence. His whole person is refashioned in the line with the ruling class, always ready to accommodate himself to authority. The lower class man develops a cleavage between his economic situation and his ideology. He lives in materially restricted circumstances, but assumes gentlemanly postures on the surface, often to a ridiculous degree. He eats poorly and insufficiently, but attaches great importance to a decent suit of clothes. A silk hat and dress coat become the material symbol of his character structure and nothing is more suited for a first impression appraisal of the mass psychology of a people than his dress. It is its accommodating attitude that specifically distinguishes the structure of the lower middle class man with the structure of the industrial worker. And he's got a little footnote here and the footnotes have been reading, and the footnotes I found to be pretty important. And the footnote he has here, industrial worker, and he's got a footnote 4 where he's referencing to the footnote. So the footnote in regards to industrial worker, this applies only to Europe. The adaptation of the lower middle class habits by the industrial worker in America, ablurates the boundary between the two. So there is a distinction back then between the middle class and the lower middle class and the hierarchy that was established in Europe and the Americas, the United States specifically. So what he's saying here wasn't really dominant in the United States, it was really dominant in Europe. Just to give you a reference to this, I'm going to read this little segment on the previous page as well, page 46. Hopefully it's going to give us a little bit of more intro to this. And this chapter is the authoritarian ideology. It is chapter 2 and the title of the chapter is this. The authoritarian ideology of the family and the mass psychology of fascism. And one of the things that Reich, if you want to put this into context, what he's referring to here, he was looking at how fascism came to be and where its root was. And he's going into the specifics of fascism had its beginnings, really, its strongest support through the middle class, where the middle class was trying to associate itself with the aristocrats, they were extremely wealthy, and they were separating themselves from the working class. And the way they were doing it, they were separating themselves with the working class, not in terms of economics, because economically the middle class was in the same position as the working class, the laborer, because they weren't better off economically than the laborer. But in terms of morality, they would associate themselves with the ruling class. And that's where he's really this paragraph, this segment is focused on. Okay. Let me see if this little segment that I've underlined fits into this thing. The answer to this is supplied by the social position of the lower middle class. Yeah, let me read you this as well. Okay. The answer to this is supplied by the social position of the lower and middle class public. Let me read this to you when the recycling people have already moved away, it's recycling day today. So you're going to hear glasses being put away and stuff. I'm just going to read a couple of comments from chat. I don't feel safe anymore. I understand what he was trying to convey to the reader. Good, very interesting excerpt, well-word, extremely well-worded. Really, this book, I wasn't sure what I was up for reading. There's one person here, one mod that we have indexed that he's read a fair bit of Wilhelm Reich and it is a heavy read and I've read some of Wilhelm Reich stuff. I've never read a book from front to cover. I've read excerpts and sections and brilliant, brilliant read. Okay. Term metaphor is strong in illustrating his message. The United States is becoming a fascist state, isn't it? If it's already there. Odmek, what he's explaining here is what we're seeing unfold in the United States right now. That's the feel I'm getting from this. That is one of the reasons I decided to read this, because I really wanted to get a feel for how it is this movement we're in this place right now in the western world. Okay, so let me read you this little section as well that I've highlighted and starred, which is on page 46. Okay. The answer of this is supplied by the social position of the lower and middle class public and private officials. The economic position of the average official is worse than that of the average skilled industrial worker. This poorer position is partially compensated by the meager prospect of a career and in the case of the government official by a lifelong pension. Okay. And in this book, Wilhelm Reich really emphasizes the bureaucrats as well from what I've read so far, that the bureaucrats were one of the driving forces for fascism. Okay. And even though the financial position was, as he says, was poorer than, you know, the industrial worker, they had a moral sort of a moral belief embedded on them by the ruling class that they were better than the industrial worker. And they had to do the will of the ruling class to show their loyalty. Right. Nice pick. Martin, I believe you picked it. The next little segment we wanted to read was prefects page 16. So let me go to the prefects page 16. Go page 16. Oh my, how to kill fascism. Check this out. That's my little tag phrase that I have here. Okay. How to kill fascism. And I got a little thing highlighted here underline that I wrote myself saying question. Okay. So let's read this. We're going to read this whole page. I basically highlighted the whole page. So let's read this. And I'm not sure who requested this. But nice coincidence going from page 47 to this one. Okay. Let's read this. Okay. And this is the preface. It's basically preface to the third edition. And this one came out in 19, this edition came out in 1970. Fascism can be crushed only if it is countered objectively and practically with a well grounded knowledge of life, life's processes in political maneuver, acts of diplomacy and making a show. It is without peer. But it has no answer to the practical question of life for it sees everything merely in the spectrum of ideology or in the shape of the national uniform. With a fascist character, regardless of hue, is heard sermonizing about the honor of the nation, instead of talking about the honor of the man or the salvation of the sacred family and the race, instead of the community of toiling mankind. When he is seen puffing himself up and has his chops full of slogans, let him be asked quietly and simply in public. And he's putting this in quotes himself. The next paragraph done about to read you, right? What are you doing in a practical way to feed the nation without murdering other nations? What are you doing in a physician to calm? What are you doing as a physician to combat chronic diseases? What as an educator to intensify the child's joy of living? What as an economist to erase poverty? What as a social worker to alleviate the weariness of mothers having too many children? What as an architect to promote hygienic conditions in living quarters? Let's have no more of your chatter. Give us a straightforward, concrete answer or shut up, right? And we're ending the quote that he's quoting right now, right? So he's basically saying how to kill fascism is to forget about the rhetoric they're saying, attack them with questions that are relevant to society, right? And those are the questions that he was saying that we should be asking fascism. And then he continues on, and I'm ending his quotes right now, but quote from the book. It follows from this international fascism. It follows from this that international fascism will never be overcome by political maneuver. It will fall victim to the natural organization of work, love, and knowledge of an international scale. In our society, love and knowledge still do not have the power at their disposal to regulate human existence. In fact, these great forces of the positive principle of life are not conscious of their enormity, their indispensability, their overwhelming importance for social existence. It is for this reason that human society today, one year after the military victory over party fascism, still finds itself on the brink of the abyss. The fall of our civilization is inevitable if those who work, the natural scientists of all living, not dead, branches of knowledge, and the givers and receivers of natural love should not become conscious of their enormous responsibility quickly enough. Okay. That's the prefix, page 16. The first question you're right, chillingly relevant in the quote. Yeah, very much so. And the first question is this, where Wilhelm Reich was mentioning, what are you doing in a practical way to defeat the nation without murdering other nations? Brilliant, right? What are they doing without murdering other nations, right? Non-interventionalism? This is what it's all about, in my opinion. Okay. Nice pick. Nice page to read. The next page, page 69. Okay. From the main body of the text. So let's go to page 69. Maybe we'll have some sex economy in there. It's almost like a fortune teller book, a prophecy. It's insane. It's giving me, personally, it's giving me a very unique and a very scientific and a lyrical look into what's going on in our present society in regards to the rise of certain movements. Okay. Interesting, interesting, interesting. Let's read from page 69. And I have some stuff highlighted here. I don't have any tag phrases put up here. So we're just going to read a little bit. I have to leave now, guys. Bye and have fun. Have a good day, Andy. Have a good day. I'm just going to start reading from the place where I've underlined the beginning part of it. If you got to go, Jacob, you got to go after this one. My dictionary is an absolute challenge. I need a better one. Dr. Go. Okay. Again, from the chapter which is the authoritarian ideology. Okay. From page 69, quote. Narrow conservative life exercises a continuous influence, penetrates every facet of everyday life, whereas factory work and revolutionary leaflets have only a brief effect. Thus, it was a grave mistake to cater the conservative tendencies in the workers by giving banquets as a means of getting at the masses. Reactionary fascism was much more what was much more expert at this. The budding revolutionary modes of life were not cultivated. There was more truth about the reactionary structure of the workers in the evening dress brought by the wife of a worker for such a banquet, bought by the wife of a worker for such a banquet than in a hundred articles. The evening dress or at home beer parties were, of course, only external manifestations of a process in the worker. A testimony of the fact that the groundwork for the reception of national socialist propaganda was already there. When added to this, the fascist promise, the abolition of the pleurotariat, and was successful with this promise. It was the evening dress and not the economic program that accounted for success in 90 of 100 cases. We must pay more, much more attention to these details of everyday life. It is around these details that social progress or its opposition assume concrete form, not around the political slogans that arouse temporary enthusiasm only. There is important and fruitful work waiting here. In Germany, the revolutionary work for the masses was restricted almost exclusively to propaganda against hunger. The basis of this propaganda, as important as it was, proved to be too narrow. There are thousands of different things taking place behind the scenes in the life of the individual of the masses. For instance, the young worker has a thousand sexual and cultural problems, which plague him as soon as he has appeased his hunger to a small degree. The fight against hunger is of primary importance, but the hidden process of human life must also be placed under the fierce light of this monkey show in which we are spectator and actor at one and the same time. And this must be done without restraint and without fear of consequences. This quote, this information, what he's trying to say here is this, he was tackling this before this came up, which is why specifically communists versus fascists, there was a sort of a battle in the 1930s going on between communists and fascism, which is one of the reasons why the Third Reich was so against communist Russia. Their biggest enemy was communism. Hitler didn't really want to wage war against the UK. They wanted to go towards Russia, and the Eastern Front was where World War II was decided. Like 85% of casualties of World War II were on the Eastern Front, much of that from Russians, like I forget what the numbers are, but 50 million, 30 to 50 million Russians died on the Eastern Front, and 80%, 85% of the casualties of Germany was on the Eastern Front, not on the Western Front, right? So there's a whole build up here. Will Wilhelm Reich starts talking about how the communist, the workers lost the battle to fascists. And what he's referring to here is this, that the communists had great slogans, try to feed the hungry, bring people out of poverty and all this stuff, right? But as soon as people were fed, then they stepped away from the communist mentality, from the workers mentality, and started embracing the fascist mentality, because the fascist mentality was giving them more than just trying to feed their hunger. They were feeding their spirits, their souls with some kind of nationalistic rhetoric, some kind of belonging to a higher purpose than just trying to feed your hunger. Very powerful. I never understood when reading this. That was one of the things I'm starting to really get an appreciation for is, how is it possible that fascism was able to get a foothold in Europe? And this book, The Mass Psychology of Fascism, has given me a pretty good idea of how that was. That was a loaded excerpt. That was a loaded excerpt. Why was it in the sex economy chapter? Am I missing something? So page 69 was in, which chapter was this in? Page 69 is in this chapter. Page 69 is in chapter 2. Chapter 2 is the authoritarian ideology of the family and the mass psychology of fascism. One thing he points out in this chapter is the structure of the family, where the fascists were really pushing the family structure, the morality of the family, and the hierarchy of the family with the male role model sort of ruling over the family, sort of dictatorial family structure. And he goes into the whole discussion of why it was that women really supported the rise of fascism, because they associated the rise of fascism with the family structure, which was something that I really didn't understand previously. I have assumed page 69 was the sex economy chapter. No, the sex economy appears all over the place in this, but anti-sexual race theory, again, check this out. There's a chapter starting from page 115, chapter 6, which I'm halfway through, I guess, is titled Organized Mysticism as an International Anti-Sexual Organization. So let me read you what each chapter is. Okay, I must read this book. I think I read one of his in school. Hey, little man, I think, cool. So let me read you the chapter titles. Okay, chapter one, ideology as a material force. Chapter two, the authoritarian ideology of the family and the mass psychology of fascism. Chapter three, the race theory. Okay. And here, let me give you the beginning, which pages they start at. Chapter one starts at page three. Chapter two starts at page 34. Chapter three, race theory starts at page 75. Chapter four, the symbolism of the swastika starts at page 98. Chapter five, the sex economic presupposition of the authoritarian family starts at page 104. Chapter six, organized mysticism as an international anti-sexual organization starts at page 115. Okay. King Xluki, thank you for the Twitch Prime sub. Watch the upload when, if it comes out, it will come out hopefully at some point, right? And then he has subheadings here for some of the chapters as well. And then the following chapters are chapter seven is sex economy and the fight against mysticism. Chapter eight is some questions of sex political practice. Chapter nine is the masses in the state. Chapter 10 is biosocial function of work. Chapter 11 is give responsibility to vitality, vitally necessary work. Chapter 12, the biologic miscalculation in the humans, struggle for freedom. And chapter 13 on natural work democracy. Okay. Hannah, how are you doing? How's life? Hope you're doing well. We're reading some powerful quotes. Should I read you the three quotes that I've already linked up on our discord page? And, and I tweeted as well. Okay. So let me read you this. This is something I quoted. You find a quote on discord. Okay. And it's on. One more data along weekend. Happy fourth of happy candidate for Canadians and happy fourth of July tomorrow for you guys because we're July third right now. So let me read you this. This one is from page 40 of my edition. Okay. You can hear all the glass being put away. Right. The recycling. So I'm just going to read it to you from the quote that I had on discord. Okay. Actually, let me go to page 40. Let me go to page 40. Okay. See what I've highlighted here. Yeah. Let me read you from here. And we're going to read from here. We're going to go all the way. We're going to go all the way, all the way to there. So let's read this. So it spans two pages. What I'm about to read you. Okay. My code I'm presenting. You want to change the world? Be a great dad. Crisp. Yeah. Really. You want to change the world? Make sure generations that are coming up are taken care of. They're very well educated, fed, protected. Share them the truth. Don't don't raise them in a bubble. Right. So these are the couple of tags, words that I've written up on top here. Okay. And on the side. So these quotes are from this. Control propaganda, movements, middle class. Okay. Okay. And this is from page 40 and 41. And the chapter is in again, is from the authoritarian ideology. And I'm just going to read you this. And this is related to the middle class. And the core base of fascism, right? The main title is this on the mass psychology of the lower middle class. We have stated that Hitler's success is to be ascribed neither to his personality nor to the objective role his ideology played in capitalism. Nor for that matter is it to be ascribed to a mere be fogging of the masses who followed him. We put our finger on the core of the matter in italics. What was going on in the masses that they followed a party whose leadership was objectively as well as subjectively in diametric opposition to the interests of the working masses in italics. In answering this question, we must first of all bear in mind that in his first successful onset, the national socialist movement relied upon the broad layers of the so-called middle class, i.e. the millions of private and public officials, middle class merchants and lower and middle class farmers. From the point of view of its social basis, national socialism was a lower middle class movement. And this was the case wherever it appeared, whether in Italy, Hungary, Argentina, or Norway. Hence this lower middle class, which was formally on the side of the various bourgeois democracies, must have gone through an inner transformation causing it to change its political position. The social situation and its corresponding psychological structure of the lower middle classes offer an explanation of the basic similarities as well as differences between the ideology of the liberal bourgeoisie and the fascists. I'm going to read you one more paragraph, more than what I linked up in Discord and shared on Twitter, Mine and Gap. Again, quote, fascism's lower middle class is the same as liberal democracy's lower middle class, only in a different historical epoch of capitalism. In the election between 1930 to 1932, national socialism polled its new votes almost exclusively from the German national party and the smaller faction parties of the German Reich. Only the Catholic center maintained this opposition, even in the Prussian election of 1932. It wasn't until the later election that national socialism also conceded in making an incursion into the masses of individual workers. The middle class was and continued to be the mainstay of the swastika and it was this class championing the cause of national socialism, which stepped onto the political tribunal and halted the revolutionary reconstruction of society during the most severe economic convulsion the capitalist system had experienced, 1929 to 1932. Political reactions, assessment of the middle class is important was absolutely correct. In a leaf lift of the German national party of April 8, 1932, we read the middle class quoting, this is quote from the German national party of April 8, 1932 in a leaflet that they had quote, the middle class is of decisive importance for the existence of the state and further on down past this he starts talking about how the fascists basically brought in the Catholic church into their fold and got the Catholic church to support the fascist movement as well. Okay, hello Randall, how are you doing? King Luxe, he was trying to catch a stream to give you the subscription just as a little thank you for helping me sleep many nights, got to go now and have a great stream, have a fantastic way, have a fantastic baking, baking, massive book collection, okay book collection, I'm gonna grow it, I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few. Adolf Hitler, Martin, quoting Adolf Hitler, he said, Adolf, Adolf, man, missed that. Any streams this week? Anna, thank you for the cheers brother, thank you for the cheers, I did three others in chat, awesome, let me read you another quote I had, I shared on discord and mind and gap and twitter, okay, this one is from page 51, let's go to page 51, a lot of these quotes that we're reading are from the authoritarian ideology that chapter, right, which is chapter 2 I believe, yeah chapter 2, okay, so this is from page 51 and I'm gonna start reading it from the economic, I'm just gonna start reading it from there and we're gonna continue on to page 52, okay, so let me read you this, night bird flying, thank you very much for the twitch prime sub, okay and what I have here again is what I've highlighted is fascism and there's a fair bit of highlights, that's one of the reasons I shared, I put even a little twitter here, I wanted to share that on discord, twitter, gap and mind, right, so from page 51, okay, quote, it is not only as a private owner of property that the small landowner is identified with the larger landowner, by itself this would not mean very much, what is important here is the preservation of the ideological atmosphere of the small and medium property owners, that atmosphere, namely that exists in small enterprises operated by family unit, is this atmosphere that is known to produce the best nationalistic fighters and to imbue the women with nationalistic fervor and this explains why political reaction is always prattling about the morality preserving influence of the peasantry, however this is sex economic question, this interlacing of individualistic modes of production and the authoritarian family in the lower middle class is one of the many sources of the fascist ideology of the large family, this question will return, this question will return later in another context, the economic pitting of small businesses against one another corresponds to the family encapsulation and competition typical of the lower middle class, notwithstanding the fascist ideology, common wealther ideology quote, common wealther comes before personal welfare and quote corporate idea okay and his quote that is doing, the basic back to reading from the book, the basic elements of fascist ideology quote, fewer principles and quote, family policy etc have individualistic characteristics, what is collective in fascism stems from the sociologic tendencies in the mass basis and the individualistic element stem from the interests of big business and the fascist leadership, let me read that again, what is collective in fascism stems from the socialistic tendencies in the mass basis as the individualistic elements stem from the interests of big business and the fascist leadership, in view of man's natural organization this economic and family situation would break down if it were not secured by specific relationship between man and woman, a relationship we designate a patriarchal and a mode of sexuality derived from the specific relationship economically the urban middle class man is not in a better position than the manual laborer thus in his efforts to determine differentiate himself from the laborer he must rely essentially on his family and sexual modes of life his economic deprivation have to be compensated for in a sexual moralistic way in the case of the official this motive is the most effective element of his identification with the ruling power since one is not on a plane with the upper middle class but in a non this list identified with it the sex moralistic ideologies have to compensate for the economic limitations essentially the sexual modes of life and the cultural modes of life depend upon them serve to differentiate him from the lower classes okay and this is what I was referring to where the fascist leaders with the previous course that we're reading sort of trying to put into context where the fascist leaders really emphasize the moralistic nature of their rule and try to bring the middle class into the fold of fascism by saying that they are superior to the working class to the laborer because of their moralistic beliefs not because of their economic standing and that's really the push that solidified the ruling fascist and if we want to put this into context of present day what we are seeing here in southern and central USA with certain states basically banning abortion and Wilhelm Reich talks about abortion being one of the central focus of the fascist ideology taking power away from women into their own reproductive cycle by giving that control over to the patriarchy and when I read this this was sort of unfolding with the laws with making abortion illegal in certain states really sunken like really made me understand why that was taking place very powerful very powerful blessings dr p welcome to an intense live stream let me read you another quote that I've already shared on discord and and and this is from page 111 okay and you can read mass psychology of fascism here let me give you the links to this to chat okay and I'm just gonna give you guys the link here this will take you to page 111 of the book that I'm reading but you can scroll to the beginning if you want to read it online okay so this is pen page 111 let's go to page 111 and I'll tell you what chapter this is from as well okay this is from the sex economic presuppositions so this is from chapter this is chapter five the sex economic presuppositions of the authoritarian family okay and the quote that I have here where am I reading from I'm reading from here but I'm going to read you a little bit more than what I linked up on discord and and mind and gap okay and the words I have here is for my own self is sex love fear tradition sex woman freedom and wow for myself right going some of this stuff is blowing me away okay so I'm going to read you I'm going to start the reading past the place where he was sort of quoting made up letter that a woman might have written okay let's check this out oh my battery is dying on my recorder so let's read this the voice recorder and I might have to run I should have grabbed more batteries to do this but it is what it is right so let's do this so from page 111 quote this letter clearly reflects the conflict with which the average person is faced italics for the next sentence long sentence quote again he's made to believe that he must choose between compulsive sexual morality morality on the one hand and sexual anarchy on the other hand the average person has no knowledge of the sex economic regulation of sexuality which is as far from compulsive morality as it is from anarchy ending the italics quoting again or reading again he reacts to to the imposed severe compulsion with promiscuous impulses he defends himself against both morality is a burden an inter instinct appears as a tremendous danger the man reared upon and bound by authority has no knowledge of the natural law of self regulation he has no confidence in himself he's afraid of his sexuality because he never learned to live it naturally thus he declines all responsibility for his acts and decisions and he demands direction and guidance i'm just going to end the quote for now we'll continue with that this sentence here i found to be extremely powerful so i'm just going to read that again okay the man reared under the bound by authority has no knowledge of the natural law of self regulation he has no confidence in himself he is afraid of a sexuality because he never learned to live it naturally thus he declines all responsibility for his acts and decisions and he demands direction and guidance continuing reading the revolutionary movement has not yet had any success with the sexual policies gauged against the success that consists revolutionary sexual politics could have achieved because it failed to react with appropriate weapons against political reactions successful attempt to exploit man's suppressed sexual powers if sexual reaction had publicized only as political thesis on population it would not have poked a single cat from under the bed but it exploited the sexual anxiety in women and girls and to this it owes a success it was skill skillful in linking his population aims with the compulsive moralistic inhibitions of the people at all levels of society as a matter of fact the hundreds of thousands of organized christian workers are proof of this end quote those were last three quotes or the three that i shared previously martin is quoting something gang is gone there is no value in anything until it is finished there is no value in anything until it's finished i don't know if i'd agree with that personally okay what else should we read gang what else should we read i still have battery life left one bar in this in this in my recorder so until this finishes we'll read one more what page we go to you guys decide you guys decide i'm gonna have a spoonful of crab apple jam and we've we have a whole series of videos of how to make crab apple jelly right crab apple jam crab butter crab apple butter right super delicious super tangy martin i throw in another random page 119 let's do dr doros 101 welcome to a stream uh page 119 that's page 119 and this is from the chapter organized mysticism as an international anti-sexual organization what a title what a title i'll try doctor when i'm reading the quotes i've sort of reading a little bit louder i think okay and this is chapter six so chapter six reading a quote chapter six organized mysticism as an international anti-sexual organization okay page 119 what do we got we got we got highlighted and holly 20 welcome to a stream and what i have the recycling truck is moving its way again the words i've tagged this page by with our marriage sexuality fascism christianity use god religion okay so i'm gonna read you this paragraph let me see he's got some quotes from other people here as well and some of these quotes are from some of the fascist leaders he does have quotes here from what a cheeky recycling track what a cheeky recycling track keeps on coming back keeps on coming back okay i'm gonna wait until it moves out a little bit more okay cool okay let's read this it's just one paragraph of highlighted quote we have already seen how the ideology of national honor derives from authoritarian ideology and the latter from the sex negating regulation of sexuality neither christianity nor national socialism attacks the institution of compulsive marriage for the former apart from its function of procreation marriage is a complete lifelong union for the national socialist it is a biologically rooted institution for the preservation of racial purity outside outside of compulsive marriage there is no sexuality for either of them furthermore national socialism does not want to maintain religion or historical basis but on a topical basis this change is to be explained in terms of the disintegration of christian sexual morality which can no longer be upheld solely on the basis of historical demands and he's got a quote here from Ludwig Haas let me read you this quote from Ludwig Haas from national socialization like i don't know what this is from page 213 okay quote quoting someone else right the ethical racial state must one day still discover as deepest roots in religion not until our belief in god ceases to be related to a specific event in the past but is again and again through everlasting experience intricately interwoven with the native activity and life of a people and a state as well as the individual will our world be firmly re-established fresh kiwi thank you for the twitch prime subscribe i just got two ads from twitch even though i have twitch prime no wonder ad blocks or a thing no wonder ad blocks or a thing i didn't realize you guys getting ads during these live streams sensei guide me through the metaphoric dojo please a doctor um basically the quote here it's part of a larger thesis that he's with him right is sharing with mass psychology of fascism what he wrote where he's basically stating there's an economic element to all political movements but he's also stating that there's a sexual element to the rise of fascism to almost not all political movement but very very much related to the authoritarian movement which is a fascist movement which fascist movements are right there are other forms of authoritarian movements but fascist movement is one of the principal forms of the authoritarian movement right and his thesis his one of his main arguments will home writes arguments is that by controlling sexuality of the masses by introducing morality to the life of people fascist movements are able to dictate the direction that a society starts moving towards right and the rise of fascism he's linking up directly with the control of sexuality with the introduction of morality or a specific type of morality which is the authoritarian morality into our society right twitch prime is no longer at free really you need to get twitch turbo for that now oh wow i didn't know that may i ask you if william is related to the third right he this book willam rike okay he was present in europe during the rise of the third rike okay he escaped came to the united states the third rike burned willam rike's books okay nazi germany burned william rike's books when william rike came to the united states in the 1960s 1970s 1960s or 1970s the united states also burned his books and they put him in jail okay and he died of a heart attack a week before he was going to be released from jail right so as far as i know willam rike is the only person that both nazi germany and the united states government have burned his books a must read okay arthene how are you doing just tuning in did you get turned on to william through robert anton wilson yes i did through this book okay robert anton wilson willam rike in hell and this is a sort of a play sort of a musical and the video is available online it's a very short book brilliant book is very much related to the murder of christ okay that willam rike basically talked about right and other people have talked about right which is and i got turned on to willam rike also through um understanding of weather control because once you go into the realm of because there is weather control 100 percent or most people should know this by now okay that weather control is something that nations participate in in cooperation that's what geo engineering is all about right so weather manipulation that's called a weather manipulation right also through organ energy as well as sexuality one of the first places that i got introduced to willam rike was exploring sexuality and i don't know if that corresponded with me reading willam rike's willam rike in hell i believe i was introduced to willam rike before well for sure i was i got introduced to willam rike before i read this book okay mainly through i believe just the sexual sexuality and morality and stuff like this and weather manipulation okay he left america in 1939 he left for america in 1939 okay cool thanks martin i wasn't sure about the timing of that uh of course they did that thanks to which heart attack can you please expand on the conspiracy behind his death uh basically um one of willam rike's co-workers was shipping instruments across instruments or books like i looked into this a long time ago across state lines it was it was he has willam rike has this philosophy and i you know other than the superficial level i haven't looked into it he says there's this energy that exists that we can use to heal ourselves and evolve and stuff like this and there's certain proofs of this in physics and science and other people have stated this as well but willam rike was promoting this thing this thing as a health benefit and one of his co-workers shipped some instruments across state lines and the united states government came after him and they said willam rike was saying that this was would heal you prevent cancer and stuff like this or help you fight cancer and because he wasn't under the medical umbrella the state said you can't say those things they took him to court willam rike made a mistake he represented himself he thought logic would save him from the state from the centralized state right he should have got a lawyer to present his case he presented himself he represented himself the judge said go to jail and they sent him to jail and they went to the warehouse grabbed his books whatever he was producing under that umbrella and they took it to a place and burned them right so they burned his books insane put him in jail and a week before he was supposed to be released i forget how long he spent in jail a week before he was supposed to be released he died of a heart attack okay you can look into that further willam rike is someone that you should know about doctor okay willam rike is someone you should know about and holy is asking me if i have any pets we used to have a cat he died last year he was a very very good cat have you been calm it was days before he would have applied for parole not necessary would have been released is it days before he would have applied for okay thank you for the correction sigh master 54 thank you for that i appreciate it and again please look up anything that i say don't take everything that i save as absolute because i get my dates mixed up i get my names mixed up and my events sometimes mixed up right currently now that you you're talking about uh learning books you remind me of fray and hi for 421 or 420 why should i know about willam rike uh as far as i'm concerned if there's anyone that you should know about would be someone who's written books scientific books philosophy books psychological both societal books okay social books okay uh that both nazi germany and the u.s government have burned their books if any state comes across comes around and burns books uh scientists irrelevant of what they're sharing then those are people that are worth looking into okay especially people that both nazi germany and u.s government have burned their books okay it's something called the strizan effect if centralized power is trying to suppress information it is our duty to find out what that information is he spent five years in norway cool i have a cat dude his name is reggie reggie our cat was called cron our cat was called cron fun what is your stance on religion sensei uh you can stop calling me i don't like titles i am chicho okay as far as religion goes i'm a spiritual being but i do not believe in centralized religion burning books sorry fray and hide 451 yes my raid brad bray does it ring anything yes it does and the movie was good too fray and hide 451 very good book what else should we read should we go to page 125 here let me let me read you i like your beard thank you let me read you the last thing that i've highlighted so far how far i've gotten to okay and this is from organized mysticism since the question of religion has come up and this is chapter six i believe chapter six organized mysticism as an international anti-sexual organization okay so let me read you this hi chicho i'm gonna quiet a quiet lurker till now but i had to tell you i found a solution for the 10 by 10 math game how so appropriately shared with you brother take a pic of it put it on discord okay uh under math i believe under math it might be a game section there too so if you want post it there or post the pic of it on twitter or gab or mines and i'll retweet it okay or regap it reminded what they're called that'd be an awesome way to share it and then later on at some point i'm gonna start doing a lot of those solutions just quietly with a reading in the background congrats on finding a solution i still haven't you got it so excited oh me too me too chicho why does william reich seem to care so much about sex seems a bit immature if you ask me a doctor tell you the truth we should all care about sex because the majority of society's ills are related to sexual repression all analysis almost every single major work related to the psyche of a society tackles sexuality okay fluid void i pronounce his name incorrectly void his main thesis was this i think society's sexually repressed he spent eight months in prison as far as i can tell he kept appealing against his two-year sentence but finally lost yeah horrendous okay reading from organized mysticism page 24 and 25 i'm going to read you one paragraph okay the last paragraph i've gotten to and the tag phrases i have here is centralization education state it was not enough to point out that the authoritarian state was in control of and could exploit the parental home the church and the school as a means of binding the youth to a system and its world world of ideas the state used its entire power apparatus to keep these institutions intact hence nothing short of social revolution would have been capable of abolishing them and yet an undermining of the reactionary influence was one of the most essential preconditions of the social revolution and therefore the presupposition of their abolition many communists considered this the main task of the red cultural front to accomplish this task it was of decisive importance to comprehend the ways and means with the help of which the authoritarian parental home the school and the church could exercise so much influence and to discover the process that took hold of the youth as a result of these influences generalization such as enslavement or brutalization did not offer an adequate explanation brutalization and enslavement were the results what we wanted to know were the processes that enabled the tutorial interest to gain a foothold in the culture of the masses okay and that's as far as i've gotten in this reading up to page 125 so what we'll do we'll end the reading of excerpts there because the battery on my recorder is dying off and i want to end the recording segment of it we'll continue on with the live stream where i'll keep on talking with the chat and stuff like this and if you guys want during the live stream to read anymore let me know but for the recording section we'll leave that there and i'll just mention this okay education is a huge part of what's going on our societies presently and what has taken place historically will him right addresses it here when centralized power controls the parental home the church and the schools then they can do anything they want to a society which is one of the most important things we have to keep in mind in regards to centralization and the power of decentralization okay centralization gives power to a central entity that can direct society down roads pathways which could be extremely dark by controlling the parental home the church and the schools right when we decentralize those institutions we take away power from centralized institutions right it gives power back to us okay so as far as i'm concerned it's a three pronged attack from you know that we have to consider as far as i'm concerned i'm attacking from the realm of education decentralizing trying to decentralize our education system which is basically the main thesis of the body of work that i'm producing here okay aside from that i hope you enjoyed these excerpts from wilhelm reich's mass psychology of fascism and the odds are we'll do more okay thanks for being here and thank you for the support for all of you who are
