From the standpoint of social development, the family cannot be considered the basis of the authoritarian state, only as one of the most important institutions which support it.
It is, however, its central reactionary germ cell, the most important place of reproduction of the reactionary and conservative individual.
Being itself caused by the authoritarian system, the family becomes the most important institution for its conservation. In this connection, the findings of Morgan and of Engels are still entirely correct.

Bsbray11, I don't understand. I seriously have no investment in getting upset with you. But I need to know why you are being so obstinate...
No one is trying to distract from the Orgone. It is just that Uncinus posted information from well known Reich researchers that runs counter to what you are suggesting that Orgone technology is meant for.

Yeah, I can see why those ideas would not be liked in the era of McCarthyism.

And that idea is dangerous today. Imagine everybody saying; 'Oh, I get it, Fascism begins with me', and then not doing it anymore.
He also wrote books on psychology and general non-fiction.

He was a genius; and a nut.
If we had to make a plan for societal survival and only had Reich's ideas to work with 'Stop the Fascism' would definitely take priority over 'Build Orgone devices'.
Honestly, Bsbray11, this will be the last you hear from me. I am sorry but I really don't understand any longer why anyone would engage with you over this topic.

So what do you have? More evidence of corrupt high within government ranks. That's hardly news to me.

\When you can manage to form this into an argument that Reich's other work with orgone was bunk, then I'll be interested.

I can't see how it would happen though considering they are unrelated subjects, and since I already understand your opinions and how you try to argue them fallacious as if they are facts.

Corruption has been rampant in government since the creation of government. Not news to me either.
Still not changing the fact that orgone is unmeasurable, untestable, and despite it's supposed existence, indemonstrable.

I never claimed it could be scientifically demonstrated, but if you refer back to the FDA you will begin to get an idea why there has not been more research into this subject. It's not like the FDA already proved that orgone can't possibly exist, before they took the effort to destroy all of Reich's literature on it. If what they did with Stevia is any example, then there was actually something to orgone for them to move in and destroy everything related to it.

proof and more proof. What is this fixation on proof. Like religion, proof only has to be provided for those who do not believe.
There are plenty of things which will never be proved in our lifetimes probably - ranging from energy meridians, which the Chinese have been using for thousands of years to the whys and wherefors of homeopathy. Now, there are hospitals which run on homeopathy, the Queen Mother and other members of the royals seem to live quite well using that system and there are numerous anecdotal evidence for things such as Flower Remedies which are also based on homeopathic methods.
Basically we dont have the measuring instruments at the moment to give you all the proof you need of these things and aliens, UFOs, ghosts, dimensions, God and all the other things.
So get over it. There are going to be things in this world that you cannot measure, and it does not mean that their effect is not 'real' to our 3D world.
It is just your collective insecurities coming up which mean that you are not comfortable with anything you cannot explain in scientifically explainable terms. Sad really. As if science knows it all anyway. Ha!
