Freudian psychoanalysis is a predictable joke. How can anyone take it seriously?

It's mostly not even about Nazis. Nor Freudian, if I understood that part right.

It's actually a pretty cool piece of scholarship, so of course nobody on this board will like or understand it.
Fundamentally it's about the culture of discipline and the body inherited from military units in WW1, and how this culture seeped into the Freikorps and other protofascist paramilitary groups. The only real critique that I've heard against it is that Theweleit overestimates the amount of veterans in these groups. From what I've read, the Freikorps were mostly young men who had no experience of the first world war.
But yeah, very interested piece on Weimar Germany. If this book interests you, you might also be interested in Verhältnislehre der Kälte by Helmut Lethen. The title is "Cool Conduct" in English.

>Verhältnislehre der Kälte
The title alone gives me shivers. Anyhow, I'm too stupid to really understand the part where Theweleit references Deleuze/Guattari, do I have to read Capitalism and Schizophrenia to fully get it?
