Psychological Perspectives on Fascism
Democracy and Class Struggle agrees with many of the 1933/1934 writings on Fascism and Class Consciousness of Wilhelm Reich but we strongly disagree with his post 1947 writings.

A Scientific Psychology is still a revolutionary requirement in line with thought of Lev Vygotsky and Christopher Caudwell and comrades should study and master this field of social studies.
Political Psychology is as important as Political Economy and Comrade Mao understood that and his writings illustrate it and show us the way forward.
Psychology and Marxism
“Psychology is in need of its own Das Kapital – its own concepts of class, basis, value etc. - in which it might express, describe, and study its object”. Lev Vygotsky, The Historical Meaning of the Crisis in Psychology.
