Fromm was perhaps the best known Freudian-Marxist, through
his text beloved of students, The Art of Loving (and, for the younger
generation in the 1950s and 1960s, his book The Sane Society).
It was something of a bible for many students on the psychology
degree I took in the late 1970s. They declared themselves to be
Freudian-Marxists ~ (in between vehemently denouncing the notion
Michel Foucault, who traded in the neo-Marxist cause in favour of a
depressive and sarcastic nihilism that intelligence is in any way heritable, in proto-PC style, or that inherent biological distinctions – especially sex – had any role at all to play in psychology). This unholy fusion aggressively assimilated the ‘me–me’ self-centredness that had grown out of the 1960s, and in the end developed into a form of extreme feminism. Fromm is one
of the few members of the Frankfurt School who engaged directly
with theorizing the problems of gender (sic) and the differences
between men and women. Fromm anticipated later attempts to
produce a feminist Marxism and poststructuralist analyses of the
‘socially constructed nature of gender’ (Kellner, n.d.).
Another notable Freudian-Marxist, who shared some common
intellectual ground with the Frankfurt School, was Michel Foucault,
who gave up the cause in profound disillusionment, developing the
apathetic relativism with which we’re all too familiar. Foucault was
a depressive and sarcastic nihilist; his anti-humanism leading him
to a theory of the insidiousness of ‘capitalist’ social ‘power’ that
makes us control ourselves in the prison of our own minds. This he
called ‘micro-fascism’. He certainly captured the zeitgeist. Although
Foucault made few references to women or to the issue of sex in
his writings, his treatment of the relations between power, the body
and sexuality stimulated extensive feminist interest. His idea that
the body and sexuality are cultural constructs rather than natural
phenomena made a significant contribution to the feminist critique
of biological ‘essentialism’.
The feminism derived from the ideas of these writers went beyond
the idea of destroying the family, to destroying any separateness
between the sexes, and promoting the displacement of men in
favour of a ‘matriarchy’. Once again this was taking a cue from
Marx in his notion of ‘a community of women’ (as outlined in The
Communist Manifesto). With the abandonment of the workers, the
largest constituency of the supposedly oppressed was deemed to be
women. As recently as 1993, Frankfurt School member Wilhelm
Reich claimed (in his book, The Mass Psychology of Fascism) that
matriarchy was the only ‘natural society’. According to Raymond
Raehn (Raehn, 1996):
