Ego and Super-Ego shaped by Id

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Where does this information come from? I am relatively sure that this is not the case. The Super-Ego is an internalization of heterodox values forced upon the individual by society (which is the process linking Marxism and Freudianism). The Ego merely tries to bring the demands of the Id into accordance with those of the Super-Ego, saying that Ego and Super-Ego are shaped by the Id is a gross simplification, which furthermore reduces the interplay of forces (the more biological Id and the more socio-cultural Super-Ego) by omitting exactly that causal interface which makes Freudo-Marxism a valid theoretical endeavour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.124.227 (talk) 12:14, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Valentin Voloshinov

I've added a reference to Valentin Voloshinov, whose work pre-dates Reich. As a note to other editors interested in this page, there should be a section after the one on Lacan (or at the end of that one) on Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, especially Anti-Oedipus. Probably makes sense to talk about anti-psychiatry movement too.

More citations needed

I have added the "more citations needed" template for this article. Pretty much every section is lacking sufficient external citations.

In need of citations or delete

Certain philosophers[who?] have revised Marx's concept of commodity fetishism in the light of Freud's concept of sexual fetishism, theorizing a sexually charged relationships between a person and a manufactured object.[citation needed]

This is the most beautiful sentence I have ever read, but unless there is a citation for it, it probably needs to go. Someone please find a citation for it so it can stay.

Marx and historical determinism

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Sigmund Freud critiqued Marxism in his 1932 New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, arguing that Marx overemphasized historical determinism and ignored contingent psychological and material factors in shaping society. Freud acknowledged Marxism’s insight into the influence of economic circumstances on human thought and culture, but he did not see history as following inevitable laws.

Is this supposed to mean historical materialism? I can't find anything about Marx emphasizing "historical determinism" specifically, although some do call him a soft determinist. LGaps (talk) 12:00, 2 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
