6. Valuable to the collectivists is
Freud’s claim that people are not endowed with free will. The idea is that childhood experiences determine what we are and what we do.
Hence, the importance of government school to the totalitarians.
Here's what they don't want you to know:
“Freud was a charlatan, …He was
a quack who routinely proscribed measuring to patients, then
wrote fictional papers bragging about his phenomenal results. In one 1896 lecture, he claimed that by uncovering childhood sexual trauma he had healed some eighteen patients,
he later admitted he hadn’t cured anyone.”
Ben Shapiro, “The Right Side Of History,” p. 166
Basing their ideas on science and reason.....is Freud 'science'?
Nope.....
Who says not?
He does.
“Freud's claims skirted falsifiability, the quality of being testable, a bedrock of the scientific method. Resistance to his lurid suggestions, he argued, meant only that he was onto something; heads I win, tails you really do want to fellate your father. He also conspired to excommunicate any analyst from the movement who dared to subject his ideas to critical scrutiny.
As Freud wrote to a close colleague, he was only "fantasizing, interpreting, and guessing" toward "bold but beautiful revelations." He claimed: "
I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador."

Three frauds and failures: Darwin, Marx, and Freud.
But, not of course, if you went to government school and never thought for yourself.
