No, this is dont what I meant. I wanted to say, that it shouldn’t be important. If you say, that possible friends should have similar political views, than you will overlook other nice people. It should just not be that important, I think. Sometimes you meet a possible friend, which is not that political but also not a chauvinist. Some are also totally fixated onto a activity which you also like.
I made the experience, that if you like someone and get along, you will also be able to talk about political stuff with that person. A friend of mine comes from quite bourgeois household, is not chauvinistic but also never asked herself some political questions. And since we understand each other good, wife could talk a little bit political and there was no repulsion when I mentioned Marx, Engels or Lenin. Rather interest.
My wife was not political at all. She even had some chauvinistic prejudice towards some people, which were the result of her shitty environment. Today she enjoys read Lenin. Just dont narrow yourself into a corner, otherwise you wild miss the opportunity to meet good people.
His analysis regarding Hitler and fascist germany is peak stupidity, way more absurd then all those guys from the Frankfurter Schule. Psychoanalysis is not scientific. While it was kind of revolutionary at a certain point, today it is nothing more then quackery.
The only one who was more “special” is Wilhelm Reich. Before he started to believe in esoteric stuff, he had very interesting ideas and observations regarding fascism and Hitler. To summarize it a bit: Reactionaries are against sex. They want to make it strict. How you have sex and with whom. Also the kind of relationship you have. Communism is different, there is good sex, peak sexual freedom. This was the centre of his entire thinking.
Similar things go for all those other dudes. They all had their special fetish. If it wasn’t centred somehow around sex, then it went esoteric or into full pessimism and they became reactionary. Nothing marxistic about them.
Jürgen Habermas is still alive btw.
