Dear OML users,

So much nonsense going on the list, I'm happy someone raised a true 
subject, like the Marx-Reich relationship.

Karl Marx was, with Freud, a determinant influence in Reich's work. But 
modern reichians, neo-reichians and alike, usually utterly ignore the 
theory of marxism.

In my view, one of the sources wich will bring reichian theory back to 
life is the reinterpretation of its economical/political consequences. 
That's part of my work now.

Let's polemize (is it spelled correct? I'm brazilian - sorry):

- Liberalism, as Adam Smith's, trusts totally in the market's natural 
ability to rule itself, for me he was the true founder of 
self-regulation. We cannot trust self-regulation on the individual level 
and distrust it when it concerns society. I don't mean the market 
functions harmoniouslly and fairly now, but humans also are not behaving 
healthy at all and we still believe in their natural self-regulation. As 
an armored human animal, the market is also armored and depends on the 
quality of the people composing it.

I know the above thought leaves many question unanswered. But it was my 
starting point, a few years ago. I'm happy to share it with you now.

A good resource on Marx and Engels(another great guy):

They have many books digitalized - copyrights also die one day!

Love,
