"Sexual repression, the essential cause of neuroses, produces armored individuals, generally poorly suited for autonomy and thus supports the submission, the handling and the exploitation of these individuals. Etienne de La Boétie had already noticed this propensity so what he called "voluntary servitude", without being able to explain its origin. It is this characteristic which allows capitalism, a system based on the exploitation of man by man, to thrive.
Sexual repression also involves the development of non respectful sexual behaviors, of fascistic behaviors (the need to yield to a chief), irrational behaviors as well as mystical tendencies."

So, sexual repression allows capitalism to thrive? And capitalism and fascism have significant similarities?
"Voluntary servitude"?
I value the technology of Western civilization, but something within me doesn't always feed good about the Corporate World I live in. In fact, something seems terribly wrong with it. I know life isn't perfect and always peachy, but isn't our culture losing its humanity w/ exploitation?
I know the feeling of being exploited...it's like having my genitals stripped from me, and being worm-like, squirming helplessly in the muck.
Are we becoming worms?
Thoughts. I need yours.
