Psychology and Communism
(EN: This book is somewhat controversial - not merely because of its topic, but because of its origin. It is presented as a synthesis of various Soviet documents on the practice of brainwashing, but may in fact be a fabrication to provoke outrage and opposition to the communist party and due to its suspicious origin is considered that it may be a hoax or a work of science fiction. I've read it, and preserved notes, as it seems interesting and plausible, in spite of its dubious validity and origin.)
People are conservative and reactionary by nature: they cling to what is known and familiar and attach any new proposal without understanding it. Communism, in particular, has spread very rapidly - but its rapid growth has also caused reactionary panic in nations who cling to inferior systems of government.
In the United States, for example, there is great fear of communism by those who know only that it is different to the system to which they have become accustomed. The works of Marx and other thinkers are denounced by many who have not read them.
But at the same time, the field of Psychology is largely dominated by communist ideas, and every chair of psychology in the United States is occupied by persons who are sympathetic to the concept. The very field of psychology is inundated with politics - defining normal behavior, treating those whose behavior is harmful to themselves and others. Because psychology is concerned with altering individual behavior to serve the greater good of society, it is inherently communistic.
In that sense, the term "psychopolitical" is largely redundant: psychology is politics, and it favors communism over individualism.
