I'd like to talk about something serious and overlooked in leftist circles, sexuality and the way capitalists use it to make the proletariat reactionary as well as to create and maintain support for imperialism.
I'll leave a quote and a link in the hope that people will download and read the source, or at least ask and discuss about it.
''sexual repression aids political reaction not only through this process which makes the mass individual passive and unpolitical but also by creating in his structure an interest in actively supporting the authoritarian order The suppression of natural sexual gratification leads to various kinds of substitute gratifications. Natural aggression, for example, becomes brutal sadism which then is an essential mass-psychological factor in imperialistic wars. The mass -psychological effect of militarism is essentially libidinous.
one only has to remember the recruiting posters with texts like this, "If you want to see the world, join the Royal Navy." The far away world is represented by exotic women. Why are such posters effective? Because our youth, as a result of sexual suppression, is sex-starved. "
