Mass Psychology of Fascism and the Authoritarian Family
Reich’s book, "The Mass Psychology of Fascism," argues that totalitarianism is rooted in the authoritarian structure of the traditional family unit. He posited that sexual and energetic repression at home makes individuals susceptible to fascist ideologies because the external rigid state mirrors their internal rigid character. This "damming up" of energy prevents people from functioning naturally or resisting oppression.
