Anarcho-Syndicalism and the Sexual Reform Movement in the Weimar Republic |
|
by Dieter Nelles |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"All workers' organizations are concerned almost exclusively with economic and political issues. Both the parties and the unions view the issue of sex as being insignificant, irrelevant. There once was a time when it was considered to be unrespectable to publicly address problems concerning sexual relations. And yet it is so tremendously important that the sexual issue be addressed without any trace of reticence, just as is the hunger issue. For hunger and love are the two poles around which all human life and drive revolve. These two issues are so closely entwined that is hardly possible to discuss one without considering the other." |

Paideia: 24 Years of Anarchist Education in South-West Spain |
|
by Fiona Taylor |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"My observations, including a lot of discussion with the adult collective, and some group interviews with ex-students � is that Paideia turns out lovely, thinking people. People who are super sensitive to other people's needs and feelings. I think they are often a little shocked by how disrespectful, unjust, conformist etc people who haven't been to Paideia are. In this way � the school is a kind of microcosm for how our communities might be, how we might relate to each other and enact a just system of self-management and direct democracy . . . except they're kids, and we all live in (and go home at the end of the day to) a world which is very different to this. The revolutionary potential of Paideia then, might be that the kids go home, and at 15 go out into the world with a way of living which influences all they come into contact with. To an extent I think this is true." |

Sex-Economy in the Fight Against Mysticism |
|
by Wilhelm Reich |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"The basic religious idea of all patriarchal religions is the negation of sexual need. There are no exceptions, if we disregard the sexually affirmative primordial religions, in which the religious and the sexual experience were still a unity. In the transition of society from a matriarchal organization based on natural law to a patriarchal organization based on the division of classes, the unity of the religious and sexual cult was split. The religious cult became the antithesis of the sexual cult. At this juncture the sexual cult ceases to exist and is replaced by the barbarism of brothels, pornography, and clandestine sexuality. No additional proof is required to show that at that moment when sexual experience ceased to constitute a unity with the religious cult and indeed became its antithesis, religious excitation also had to become a substitute for the socially affirmed sensuality that was lost. It is only on the basis of this contradiction in religious excitation, which is anti-sexual and a substitution for sexuality at one and the same time, that the strength and tenacity of religions can be comprehended.

The Emotional Plague |
|
by Wilhelm Reich |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"We see that the compass of the emotional plague coincides approximately with the broad compass of social abuse, which has always been and still is combatted by every social freedom movement. With some qualifications, it can be said that the sphere of the emotional plague coincides with that of "political reaction" and perhaps even with the principle of politics in general. This would hold true, however, only if the basic principle of all politics, namely thirst for power and special prerogatives, were carried over into those spheres of life which we do not think of as political in the usual sense of the word. For example, a mother who resorts to political methods to alienate her child from her husband would come under this extended concept of the political emotional plague. The same would apply to an ambitious scientist who works himself up to a higher social position not by concrete accomplishments but by intrigue." |
