What were Freud's personal views of Socialism?

[Blanquist]

What did he write about it? Was he pro-Stalin or pro-Trotsky?

Was he still alive at that point? I honestly don't know what his views were but as a shot in the dark I'll suggest that he thought that socialism was our subconscious desire to return to a state before our alienation from our mother's womb, all other economic and social alienation just an echo of this fundamental biological alienation :lol:

Lol, I have no idea.

He died in 1939 after he fled Austria. He was also very intelligent so he must have kept with it.

As a side fact: there was a period in history where; Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler, and Freud were all in Vienna. None of them knew the others. Well I guess everyone knew about Freud at the time. :)

Wow, interesting. I never knew much about Freud (in fact I though he was dead by the 1910s).
