This book which combines the methods and results of both Freud and
Marx is by one of the leaders of the West German student left
during its most militant phase in the late 1960s. For reasons the
author makes clear, the anti-authoritarian movement took more
thorough¬going and trenchant forms in West Germany than anywhere
else. A new sexual morality was not only preached but practised.
Is it possible, however - the author asks - that this new emphasis
on sexual enlight¬enment and liberty can become merely a
characteristic of Western capitalism, which serves to activate the
market economy, deflect rebellion, and hence contribute to the
preservation of the system? In answering this question Reiche
explains and develops Marcuse's widely misunderstood concept of
'repressive desublimation'. He exposes the artificial and illusory
nature of many attempts - in Germany and elsewhere - at 'sexual
liberation', and shows why it is impossible to overcome sexual
oppression and mystification in our society in isolation from the
political struggle.
