In no particular order, they include Lloyd deMause, Allan Mohl, Jacques Sza- luta, Gerrold Atlas, Evan Malachowsky, Geraldine Pauling and Dennis King, Robert Young and Barbara LaMonica, David Beisel, Harriet Fraad, Joan Lachkar, Peter Berton, Joe Reilly, Jay Sherry, Don Nelson, Landon Dowdey, Henry Law- ton, Robert Schaeffer, Barbara Legutko, Deborah Tanzer, David Lotto, Helen Gallant, Aurelio Torres, Jay Gonen, Mary Coleman, Marvin Goldwert, Mel Kalfus, Mel Goldstein, Daniel Dervin, Herbert Barry, Eli Sagan, Rudolph Bin- ion, and James Villareal. Hannah Lessinger, Fred Mackey, and Robert Kearney gave me invaluable assistance with my research on Sri Lanka, as did Jennifer Davis on South Africa, and Warren Weinstein on Africa in general. I had the good fortune to be able to discuss Iranian politics with Dr. Jack Moadel in the delightful ambience of Club Med Martinique. My cousin Mel Weiselberg gave a useful critique of the chapter on Cambodia. Thanks, of course, to Arthur Janov and Vivian Janov for coming up with primal therapy. And thanks to the incredibly effective crew of therapists at the New York Primal Institute: Jean, Tracy, Skip, Alix, Scott, Ditto, Cindy, John, Ann F., and G.P. Thanks also to Joel Carlinsky for his insights into the Reichian movement. And a special thanks to my buddy John Leicmon for his insights during the early stages of my research. Needless to say, none of these friends and colleagues should be held respon- sible for any factual errors in the text, or for my conclusions, which are entirely my responsibility. vi Table of Contents Acknowledgments vi Preface 1 1.

Conclusion: Psychohistory Looks Ahead 220 Chapter Notes 225 Bibliography 241 Index 249 vii This page intentionally left blank Preface As an undergraduate, studying history and political science during the early 1960s, I came to believe that no full understanding of politics—particularly the rise of fascism dur- ing the previous generation—was possible without comprehending the crucial role of psychology. The problem was that academic psychology was then dominated by Skinner- ian behaviorism, which struck me as a refined form of sophistry having nothing to add to our understanding of the human mind. The behaviorists brooked no opposition. If Sig- mund Freud made an appearance in the classroom, it was typically in the literature depart- ment. Over the next few decades, I witnessed, among other events, the Chinese Cultural Rev- olution, the continued conflict in Northern Ireland, the ethnic war in Sri Lanka, Pol Pot’s bizarre revolution in Cambodia, and the transformation of modernizing, secular Iran into a theocracy. It seemed that a new way of looking at political extremism was necessary. It wasn’t even a question of the old approach being outdated—there was no old approach. Conventional historians and political scientists were attributing these horrors, along with earlier ones like the Holocaust, to the evil impulses of a few leaders. But it was clear to me that something was going on with the masses who were eagerly following these leaders. Whatever Ayatollah Khomeini’s personal grudges against the world, millions of Iranians stood behind him against both the Shah and rival anti-royalist movements. The enthusi- asm of many Germans for Hitler was almost orgasmic. Likewise, the anti–Catholic bigot the Rev. Ian Paisley won enough popular support among Northern Ireland’s Protestants to supplant the existing Unionist establishment, which had held power for generations. A new paradigm for the understanding of political extremism was necessary, and the horrors of Cambodia during the 1970s, and Rwanda during the 1990s—not to mention al-Qaeda’s attack on the United States on September 11, 2001—were making it all the more urgent. Not to understand history, it has been often said, is to risk repeating it. In the following pages, I discuss events in sixteen countries in various regions of the world during roughly the past century, looking at them as expressions of neurotic symp- toms which were widely shared by members of that society. Other countries, such as Rus- sia, France, or Japan, might also lend themselves to such an approach, but will have to wait for other authors. And having been trained in history and political science, I have empha- sized political developments, perhaps to the detriment of the study of childhood. But in putting the “history” back in psychohistory, I believe I have avoided the trap of reduction- ism. 1 2 Preface Like many activist intellectuals who came of age during the 1960s, I developed an interest in the theories of Wilhelm Reich, the brilliant but eccentric psychoanalyst whose works sometimes appear to have been written about some alternate universe. Reich’s Sex- Pol Essays, and even more his Mass Psychology of Fascism, took an approach that cast the rise of fascism in Germany (and particularly his native Austria) in a new light. He was, aside from the more conventional Erich Fromm, the only one who was interpreting mass delu- sions in a psychological manner, instead of merely focusing on the pathology of individu- als like Hitler. Yet there still seemed to be something lacking in Reich’s theories. Did sexual repression cause the right-wing political extremism Reich was describing? Or was sexual repression merely the consequence of class oppression—a consequence that made it possi- ble for the masses to tolerate their oppression without rebelling? Reich appeared to be tak- ing both positions, and it was never clear whether he thought that the answer to fascism was on the barricades or in the psychoanalyst’s office. While he noted that the sexual repres- sion that followed the Bolshevik victory in Russia soon reversed itself, turning into a strange form of sexually repressed “Red Fascism,” Reich seemed unable to explain why. He never answered the question of why millions of people, having been liberated from both social and sexual repression, should have decided to put themselves back into the straitjackets from which they had just been freed. The short answer is that they were suffering from repres- sion of feelings, not just their sexuality. The psychological theorist who put feelings at the center was Arthur Janov, founder of primal therapy, first developed in California in the 1960s. Basic to Janov’s approach is that defenses are bad. Instead of protecting us from Pain (he prefers to capitalize the word), they prevent past traumas from being felt, causing them to remain in our unconscious and keeping us neurotic. Most other psychological approaches—the Reichians are a bit ambiva- lent on this question—believe in building up the patient’s defenses. In primal therapy they are rendered inoperative, one at a time. To simplify things, the human mind has four functions: Memory, Consciousness, Repression, and Pain. For thousands of years, only the first two had been recognized. Freud made the next step at the end of the nineteenth century, when he identified Repression. But without an understanding of Pain, Freud’s psychoanalysis remained flawed, with many patients failing to improve. Developments in psychotherapy since Freud have represented, in my judgment, retreats rather than advances. Alfred Adler’s “individual psychotherapy” dropped Freud’s concept of Repression, and reverted to the sort of ineffective common sense approach that long pre- dated psychoanalysis. Karen Horney proceeded along the same lines, as did Anna Freud and the pioneers of “ego psychology,” essentially cognitive therapy in psychoanalytic garb. Freud’s onetime follower Carl Gustav Jung dropped Memory from the repertoire of his “analytical psychology,” replacing it with myth. This led him to welcome the rise of Nazism, although he soon grew disenchanted.

  • Vietnam Detained Khmer-Krom Youth for Distributing the UN DRIP
    KKF’s Report April 16, 2021 Vietnam Detained Khmer-Krom Youth for Distributing the UN DRIP On Thursday, September 13, 2007, the General Assembly voted to adopt the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN DRIP). As a member state, Vietnam signed to adopt this crucial and historical document. Since signing to the adoption of the UN DRIP, Vietnam has continued to deny the existence of the indigenous peoples within its border. Vietnam has labeled the indigenous peoples as the “ethnic minority.” The Khmer-Krom people, the indigenous peoples of the Mekong Delta, have been living on their ancestral lands for thousands of years before the Vietnamese people came to live in the region. Lacking recognition as the indigenous peoples, the Khmer-Krom people have not enjoyed the fundamental rights enshrined in the UN DRIP. Instead of trying to protect and promote the fundamental rights of the indigenous peoples, Vietnam has tried to use all the tactics to make the indigenous peoples invisible in their homeland by not recognizing their true identity. The Khmer-Krom people are not allowed to identify themselves as Khmer-Krom, but being labeled as “Khmer Nam Bo.” Moreover, even Vietnam signed to adopt UN DRIP, but Vietnam has not translated the UN DRIP to the indigenous language and distributed the UN DRIP freely to indigenous peoples. Vietnam is a one-party communist state. Vietnam does not allow freedom of association. As a non- profit organization based in the United States to advocate for the fundamental rights of the voiceless Khmer-Krom in the Mekong Delta, the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF) has not allowed operating in Vietnam.

  • Unionism and Loyalism
    Unionism and Loyalism Gordon Gillespie 26 June 2018 Unionism: Historical Viewpoint Defines itself in opposition to Irish nationalism. Rejects the idea of a historic Irish nation. Ireland only became a nation after the Act of Union in 1800 (ie within the UK). The 26 counties of the Free State/Irish Republic seceded from the United Kingdom – the six counties of NI did not withdraw from an Irish state. After partition in 1921 the Irish government encouraged political instability in NI by continuing the territorial claim to NI in the Irish constitution (removed in 1999). Academic Definitions Jennifer Todd: Ulster Loyalist – primary loyalty to the NI Protestant community. Ulster British – primary loyalty to the British state/nation. In practice there is an overlap between the two. John McGarry and Brendan O’Leary: Devolutionists – a NI assembly provides best defence against Irish nationalism because British government is unreliable. Integrationists – Union best maintained by legal, political, electoral and administrative integration with the rest of the UK. Norman Porter: Cultural Unionism – rooted in Protestantism. The concepts of liberty and loyalty are central. Liberal Unionism – aims to achieve a similar political way of life as the rest of the UK Unionist and Loyalist Organisations Organisations reflect social and economic divisions in the PUL community. Complicated by emergence of organisations in response to the Troubles or to specific political initiatives. Churches: Presbyterian, Church of Ireland, Methodist, Baptist, etc. Political parties: Ulster Unionist Party, Democratic Unionist Party, Vanguard, etc. Loyal Orders: Orange Order, Apprentice Boys of Derry, Royal Black Preceptory. Paramilitary Organisations: Ulster Volunteer Force, Ulster Defence Association and associated organisations.

Whitaker (former Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland. N.B. Part 1 is only available at present. 2 INTRODUCTION Why is it in Northern Ireland that Conservative Protestants and Conservative Roman Catholics, and Socialist Roman Catholics and Liberal Protestants and Liberal Roman Catholics cannot come together in proper political parties to contest and win elections on social and economic policies? Political unity in Northern Ireland between Protestants and Roman Catholics with the same political ideology is not a new concept. At certain stages in our turbulent history it has been achieved to varying degrees of success, but for one reason or another has never been sustained long enough to be of any real consequence. The evolution of proper politics would no doubt remove many of Northern Ireland’s problems and would certainly allow the people of Northern Ireland to decide their elected representatives on a political basis rather than religious bigotry and sectarian hatred. Without the evolution of proper politics the people of Northern Ireland will continually be manipulated by sectarian politicians and anti-secularist clergy who make no contribution to the social and economic well-being of the people or the country but only continue to fan the flames

Engag- ing with the theme of ‘violence in the garden’ as articulated by such scholars as Zygmunt Bauman and Martin Jay, I reflect on Beijing as a ‘garden of violence’, both before the rise of the socialist state in 1949, and during the years leading up to the 2008 Olympics. KEYWORDS: gardens, violence, party culture, Chinese history, Chinese politics, cultivation, revolution The gardening impulse This paper offers a brief examination of the history of Beijing in relation to gardens— imperial, princely, socialist, public and private—and the impetus of the ‘gardener’, in particular during the twentieth century.
