Freud and Marx: do they mix?
Besides the Frankfurt School, Franz Fanon tried to mix Marx and Freud.
He tried to explain colonialism and racism by applying Freudian concepts; the racialist theory has been proven to be wrong, and African colonialism did not take place because they were blacks. The African ruling class is exploiting the African workers
Pentagon says firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter will be livestreamed
This is my main point: the left that calls itself Marxist is trying to combine Lacan and Marxism, which they are calling the Lacanian left. It’s the same situation as the Frankfurt School, which also tried to combine Freud and Marx
Richard Wolf published a video where he is indicating that the solution to the problem is the large emigration of young workers, but the nationalists do not see that solution, young workers will contribute to the state coffers through their employers, and they are not going to collect retirement for a long period of time. The Chinese working class is getting old, like the American, Japanese and European working class. Mexican workers have very large families, and most of them are young
Freud was a medical doctor, and he should have known that the death instinct is against human physiology and against homeostasis.
The human body is always operating in negative feedback and will try to balance itself, and the immune system protects humans against death; sometimes the immune system can kill a patient, as in the case of septic shock, when the immune system overreacts to an infection.
Probably he never worked in a trauma department.
The case of Jacques Lacan is even worse than Freud, reframed the death drive not as a biological urge to die, but as an “undead” force of symbolic excess—an endless, repetitive loop seen in addictions and human obsessions.
It has been argued hundreds of times that Marxism and Freudianism are not compatible. Some famous intellectuals from the School of Frankfurt tried to do that, and they failed. It is like beating a dead horse, and now some new gurus are trying to revive Freud, and it is not working either

Anton Pannekoek: Marxism and psychology
During the last two elections, President Lula in Brazil made alliances with the right-wingers, and now his followers are saying that the right-wingers are going to destroy Brazil, but they never mention capitalism

The reason that I am doing research and reading Jacques Lacan is not that I support his point of view, but I want to have sufficient knowledge to be able to answer arguments on chat and Facebook sites, and discussion forums. I am an amateur in Lacanianism
I took two classes on medical psychology and abnormal psychology, and they are much better and more interesting than Freud’s analysis; they are more real and more scientific, and most of the teachers and the students rejected Sigmund Freud. Some teachers applied the concept of ‘bizarre personality’ to Freud, and they called him a cocaine addict
In Brazil, probably the right-wingers are going to win the election in the second round on 10/25/26, and the popularity of Lula has decreased drastically.
This is a good analysis of this situation, and they are saying the same thing as has been said by the Socialist Party: that the right-wingers are becoming popular due to the failure of the left and that capitalism can not be reformed
