Have a Laugh, Take their Cloths Off - Don't Soot Them!

Having just read "Anarchist Therapy" by Cladestino, posted on this site yesterday I was inspired to comment. But I post this separately because its too long for a comment.
Its time to move on from the nonsense of Bourgois Psychology, Phsychiatry, and Analysis.

Bourgeois Psychology, Psychiatry, and analysis of the Freudian kind, are simplistic, brutal and based on controlling human beings like robots.

Invariable "They Fuck you up ...", as Philip Larkin wrote, just as he was fucked up, and many of the rest of us too, in other ways.

The most fucked up, are those that bomb the shit out of innocent people because they want to make more money, and be more comfortable.

There is an argument that the only way to cure these people is to kill them, but I wouldn't argue for that. Perhaps making them walk around naked for 6 months would cure them.

"Anarchist Therapy" is the way forward, and should replace these outmoded oppressive tools, use to force the oppressed to support the comfortable lifestyles the oppressor has become accustomed to.

It's about time we moved on from the complete bullshit of 19th and 20th century Psychology and Psychiatry.

Bourgeois Psychology:

Hitting a person with a cudgel to make them conform. If they don't respond keep hitting them until they get down on their knees, beg the oppressor to stop and capitulate. But there are those who will take all the beatings, tire out the whipping arm of the oppressor and get up off their knees. Then they should cut off the ears, rip out the tongue and pluck out the eyes of the oppressor (metaphorically of course, unless you want to have a bit of a laugh).

Bourgeois Psychiatry:

A person has a headache somewhere between a mild pain to a bad migraine. So select, where appropriate, from a range cudgels - some lined with rubber, some with metal spikes, and one, if all else fails, spiked with an high voltage electrode. Then hit said person over the head. If the headache persists, hit them again, with a more powerful cudgel. Keep hitting them until the they can no longer feel the headache. If this doesn't work, cut out the part of the brain that is aching.

Freudian Analysis:

Based on ancient fairytale applied to so called distorted sexual urges arising from the creative imagination of a writer call Freud - The Jackie Collins of his day, albeit a better educated, and arguably more imaginative one. These apparent urges arise from the power relations, social conditioning, and repression of the artificial construct known as the (bourgeois) capitalist family, from which Freud, rather messily, struggled to free himself, by expressing and exorcising his own neurosis and Psychosis. Freund recounts his journey to free himself from a nagging, interfering mother. He was only partially successful, and screwed up a lot of other people on the way, by giving one mans account of how he tries to free himself from his own social conditioning, and make a name for himself in the academic world. He shouldn't be criticized too heavily for fiddling the results of his experiments, when there was money to be made, and prestige to be earned.

The question is: Why bother with Freud when astrology is far more effective, and has a much greater and universal scientific foundation.


All the above are simplistic but brutal tools used by the capitalist bourgeois oppressors to condition and control lesser mortals, into providing them with the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. There's nothing complex or sophisticated about their methods - they are simple and brutal.

They have no clothes really. Their power is only a very thin veneer a bucket of water would wash it off. So words and water bombs will do it. No need for guns and bombs, unless you want to have a laugh. And we dont have a sense of humour, do we!

Thanks to Cladestino for outlining how theapy should be, to get over the trauma of oppression.
