What are some books that dive into the relevance of Freudian theory within the Marxist critique of modernity?

Perhaps, but I am interested in how Freudian theory is related to Marxist critique, not whether Marxism itself is right or wrong.

maybe:
Dialectical Materialism and Psychoanalysis
Wilhelm Reich
As I understand they didn't mix until Lacan tho.
>marxist critique of modernity
Im not sure about it, I think marxism is a byproduct of modernity.

Of course it is, doesn't mean it can't critique modernity.

I wouldn't say that they are inherently related, it's just that Freud (and Jung) were a huge paradigm shift to the entire intellectual community, so in the early 20th century anyone that tried to be avant-garde and cutting edge applied Freud's ideas. Keep in mind that at the time it was also still cutting edge science. I'm not 100% sure but I think the Frankfurt guys were among the first to apply Freud to a kind of marxist critique. I think Freud got a bit out of fashion when Lacan came around.
