The present thesis manages to discuss the thoughts of
Wilhelm Reich - a Marxist. Wilhelm Reich is the first person
to synthesis the psychoanalysis and Marxism. He thinks
traditional Marxism couldn't explain how the economical life
impacts on or transforms into consciousness, and how
consciousness respond to economic life. And the theory of
psychoanalysis just could make it up for this part. Here's to
articulate the synthesis of psychoanalysis and Marxism, and
his contribution to Marxism. Reich points out that the
patriarchally capitalized society, through sex repression,
makes the consciousness compatable with the advantage of
bourgeois planted into the character structure. And so it
drives away the people's consciousness, which is made
place for conservative, dependent, and critic-lacking
authoritarian character. Accordingly, he found out that the
rise of fascism is the products of people's authoritarian
character in bourgeois society. As to the failure of Soviet
Revolution, just because the pre-revolutionary survived
ideology, could not be totally dismissed. He thinks,
capitalized society tranfuses its ideology into character
structure, mainly through family, school, and the rooms for
everyday life, so the consciousness of hierachy of bourgeois is
gradually undermined. We can put it that way, Reich's theory
to synthesis the Marxism and Freudianism, extend the
theoritical category of Marxism on alienation, reinfore the
disserting of Marxism on the relations between consciousness
and economy. In addition, his introduction of psychoanalysis
into Marxism ushers the new direction on the left. As to Reich'
s sex-pol movement, it makes an profound influence on social
movement after the War II, especially on Woman's movement.
