Neo-Fascism and the Ideology of Desire: On Michel Clouscard’s Critique of Freudo-Marxism
When Nietzsche discovered Stendhal it was rather late in his life, but he remarked that reading Stendhal was “one of the most beautiful strokes of fortune of my life.” This is exactly how it felt for me to discover Michel Clouscard.
