1/ My conclusions from Theweleit, K. Male Fantasies (1987): The liberal technocratic state has re-created the psycho-sexual conditions for a new fascism, ironically by misidentifying the source of fascism as lying in the bourgeois family.
6/ The sexual market place and free female sexuality has not dissipated fascist psycho-sexual potential as the left naively thought. This is because the left doesn’t understand that there is a sexual market place, if everyone was being slaked equally then, yes, it works.

7/ The sexual energy is dissipated in “free love”. But that’s not how it works. There’s a substantial group of male losers who psycho-sexually match the Freikorp’s mentality. They idealise women, despise the women who ignore them as “toilets” & “whores” etc.

8/ These men, the most extreme being the “incel”, are also machine-integrated—not into the war machine of WWI but into the machine video games (also often about violence). They are disciplined in this sense. They are also a reservoir of conflicted sexual frustration.

9/ The technocratic left has no answer to them, being unable to go back to the Engels position of defending bourgeois marriage. This is why the “incel” is potentially violent. He despises the women who do not play be the dead social contract he believes is still active.

10/ The popularity of the “red pill”, MGTOW, and so on all feeds into this. The “autistic”, semi-celibate machine men of postmodernity are the equivalent to the Freikorps. They are the creation of the leftist sexual revolution, feminism, & liberal technocracy.

11/ We see in a figure lie Elliot Rodger how thinking on sex can also intersect with ideas about race, which in turn stems from a biological way of thinking. The Freikorps fantasises about “putting a grenade under her skirt” etc. And Rodger differs from that how?

12/ There’s even a way out of “inceldom”, which is the homosexuality of the Mannerbund—possibly presented as “self-improvement”. Anyway, the point is that liberal technocracy, the sexual revolution, & LGBT have created the psych-sexual conditions for a renewed fascism.

13/ The question is basically this, “Will this energy be harnessed by a political movement and a political consciousness be developed around it, or will it merely bubble along as acts of extreme violence towards women?”

14/ Or will we see a legion of incels, organised by homosexual bodybuilders into male clubs, and overseen by a man-machine matrix of AI & social media storm Washington & the Western capitals in the name of order & “aesthetics”? Stranger things have happened. And probably will.
