Question

1) What does Freud say of communists and the origin of 12 prejudice (Chapter 5)

Answer 1

Freud has given a new dimension to the communist view. He says that the important part of the communist ideology is private property where people accumulate more wealth. This shows the greed of the people where there is lot of inequality. Communism thought that they have abolished this inequality but according to Freud, power and sexual enmity will remain in the society which will advance aggression thus creating tension and inequality among people. He says most of the developed societies such as America have given their entire identity to their leaders and the people have not real identity.
