Karl Marx’s Concept of Human Nature, Applied to Modern America,
and According to Erich Fromm
Number of pages:
7
ABSTRACT:
This 7 page report discusses how
psychoanalyst Erich Fromm (1900-1980) presented the philosophy
and thinking of Karl Marx. Fromm was convinced that Marx was
terribly misunderstood, especially by the communists of the
former Soviet Union who attempted to co-opt his thinking. As
Fromm explains Marx’s concept of socialism, the most important
fact is that he interpreted Marx to mean that “socialism is not a
society of regimented, automatized individuals, regardless of
whether there is equality of income or not, and regardless of
whether they are well fed and well clad. It is not a society in
which the individual is subordinated to the state, to the
machine, to the bureaucracy.” Bibliography lists 8 sources.
