The Burglar again. All Herr Doktor{{LJ:Bergler}} wants to do is steal men’s souls. His absolute social dictum is “basic passive masochism,”—“Case closed.” Truly, he’s so full of shit. He wants to make all men and women passive, because he is terrified of his own aggression, and deeply ashamed at how he has denied the rebel in himself. For the core of man is not masochism and passivity—if it were, all the world would be India. The heart of man is something allied to love and aggression—it is what I choose to call thrust. It is the incapacity to accept stasis. As Bob{{LJ:Lindner}} wrote—and I quote him more or less accurately, it is the desire to affect the environment and change it. | The Burglar again.
