“In organized groups such as the army or the Church there is either no mention of love whatsoever between the members, or it is expressed only in a sublimated and indirect way, through the mediation of some religious imagine in the love of whom the members unite and whose all-embracing love they are supposed to imitate in their attitude towards each other. It is one of the basic tenets of fascist leadership to keep primary libidinal energy on an unconscious level so as to divert its manifestations in a way suitable to political ends.” WayEndsPoliticalEnergyChurchReligiousLevelsAttitudeImagineGroupsMembersArmyPrimariesManifestationOrganizedUnconsciousFascistsSuitableIndirectMediationEmbracing Love Author:Theodor Adorno

“Organizational Development: The New Christian Right of the 1980s was dominated by paper organizations that were essentially the mailing lists of a handful of politicized ministers.
