The mass psychology of fascism Book

In this translation of the revised enlarged version of Massenpsychologie des Faschismus, Reich provides insight into the phenomenon of fascism, which continues to ravage the international community. Drawing on his medical expereinces with persons of various classes, races, nations & religions, he refutes the notion that fascism is a specific characteristic of certain nationalities or a political party ideology that is imposed on innocent people by means of force or political manneuvers. "Fascism on only the organized political expression of the structure of the average man's character. It is the basic emotional civilization & its mechanistic-mystical conception of life." Responsibility for the elimination of fascism thus results with average people who might otherwise support it.
