MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM:; Preface to the third edition
by REICH, Wilhelm
8 8-1/2x11 sheets, stapled between paper covers. Somewhat bent at corners, o/w VG. Reich speaks of "three different layers of biophyschic sructure;" the outer layer being restrained, polite, compassionate and conscientious, the inner layer--under favorable conditions--honest, industrious, cooperative , loving, and also "rationally" hating. The problem comes in the middle layer, which he equates with the Freudian unconscious--cruel, sadistic, lascivious, predatory and envious. He sees liberalism as representing the outer layer, all genuine revolutionary art and science as stemming from the deep layer, and fascism as representing the middle layer. (Inventory #: 20032)
