I don't read. It interferes with constructing my own independent reality.
Sometimes I pretend to have read a book and people get excited about my analysis as if it's accurate, meaning books really are that predictable. At school I got 90% for essays about books I didn't touch. So yeah, I'm great and you're retarded in comparison. I'm sure your little book is equally retarded. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm really enjoying this date by the way.

F romm presents love as an activity, a skill that can be taught and developed, rejecting the idea of love as a magical and mysterious sensation that cannot be analyzed and explained. He focuses on love as a permanent state of being, as opposed to the short-lived experience of "falling in love" or being helpless in the face of love
Fromm calls the desire for interpersonal fusion the most powerful striving in humans. He argues that love is the only rational answer to our need to overcome separateness, which he sees as the fundamental problem of human existence.

Fromm is fine, but these days I try not to read as many white male philosophers.
Recently I'm really into a South American philosopher named Miguel Serrano, have you heard of him?
My favorite is an Indian woman named Savitri Devi though. She's incredible and fearless. It's a shame most of her works are kept out of print by white men who are afraid of her message.

Fromm was highly influential on the various communes that developed in America after the violence following the 1968 chicago democratic convention. Half a million leftists, hippies, bohemians etc gave up on protesting and trying to change the country, instead moving into communes. Many of these communes adopted structures based on Fromm's synthesis of marx and freud. In particular, they decided to avoid/ban people forming cliques or interest groups regarding the running of these communes. Communes were to have regular "democratic" meetings where concerns and grievances would be aired as individuals. Inevitably, these communes became dominated by "alpha" personalities, most of whom were abusive. This was a significant reason as to why these communes failed although there were other factors.

Many of the radical feminists in 80's academia were products of the dismal and destructive failure of these Fromm influenced communes.

It is strange that there is a lack of literature written about and documenting the failure of the 60's/70's commune movement

Well you’ve written about it like you’re an expert.
Yes, other factors, and some of them are still going actually. It would stand to follow that the women’s rights movement of the 70s which got shot down after the ERA failed would go on to still e feminists, environmentalists, and anti-nuclear etc.

You actually got triggered and didn’t read his post. He is criticising fem views as extrapolation from these communes to wider society. Alpha individuals dominate the ideal government, so they must also dominate society, eg patriarchy.
