Re: More Wilhelm Reich

"Sexually awakened women, affirmed and recognized as such, would mean the complete collapse of the authoritarian ideology." It's telling that this was written before the rise of carceral feminism. Or perhaps he would claim that carceral feminists are not sexually awakened? And who defines "sexually awakened" or "sexual consciousness"? Reeks of the No True Scotsman fallacy much like the Marxists' fabled "class consciousness." And it's not like patriarchy can be blamed for preventing carceral feminists from attaining anything, sexual consciousness or besides. In general, I find political theories connecting family structure to the state to be unconvincing just-so stories. And historically they were promulgated by those who wished to use the analogy as a justification of the state's existence much like other theoretical constructs such as the social "contract" (not a contract) or the consent of the "governed" (just the majority). Are we to believe that this model has any substance to it beyond mere rhetoric? The state takes the form that it does owing to other factors unrelated to whether it is populated by baskets of deplorables or by childless cat ladies.
