The Malaria of Consciousness: Wilhelm Reich and the Pathology of Ideology

From Bangladesh AnarchoSyndicalist Federation

— A Psychoanalytic Reading of Repression, Ideology, and Human Liberation

In modern thought, ideology is often seen as a set of ideas, beliefs, or political doctrines.

Ken MacLeod: Red Futures in the Gutter

From The Dark Forest

This is MacLeod’s great refusal: no radiant tomorrows, no shining cities in orbit, no anarchist communes beyond corruption. Every faction is cracked. Every ideology is compromised. Every rebellion curdles into dogma, every revolution ossifies into bureaucracy, every insurgency becomes indistinguishable from the power it once opposed. And yet it never stops. People still fight, because they cannot not fight. Ideas still mutate, because they cannot die. The wheel of ideology keeps turning, grinding flesh beneath it, even when all that’s left is rubble.

from It's Going Down

Proposes that anarchists and autonomous anti-capitalists need new ways of discussing the unsustainability of industrial capitalism without falling into the tropes of our enemies.
