Narcissism, Hypergamy, and Sexual Difference
Freud’s theory of narcissism is built on a strictly intrapsychic model of the human being. For Freud, narcissism is the movement of libido away from external objects and back onto the self. In its secondary form, this process is often linked to developmental fixations and plays a role in shaping…

Freudo-Marxism as an Extension of Classical Liberalism
Freudo-Marxism is often presented as an ambitious synthesis of two major critiques of modernity: Marx’s economic critique of capitalism and Freud’s psychological critique of repression. Yet, following Michel Clouscard, this synthesis appears less as a radical break and more as an ideological mutation within capitalism itself. Rather than overthrowing the…

Why Jean Baudrillard Matters Today?
Jean Baudrillard matters because he explained, earlier than almost anyone else, that modern society no longer revolves around reality itself, but around signs, models, and simulations. He saw that the modern world was shifting away from direct experience and toward representation. What people consume, desire, and identify with is increasingly…

Mutual and Voluntary: Two Words, One Condition
“Mutual” and “voluntary” converge at the level of action, not abstraction. The moment one examines concrete human interactions rather than labels, the distinction collapses.

Anarchism as a Cure for Narcissism
Narcissism feeds on power, status, and control over others. Authoritarianism systems often reward this behavior by giving individuals authority and recognition through dominance. Anarchism removes these incentives. Without centralized power or imposed authority, individuals must rely on voluntary cooperation, personal responsibility, and genuine merit. There is no stage for ego,…

Individualism, not egoism or narcissism
Individualism is not selfishness. Unlike egoism or narcissism, it does not place the self above others, it recognizes that every person is an independent individual with the same rights. Rather than promoting exploitation or vanity, individualism supports voluntary interaction, mutual respect, and personal responsibility. It is not “only I matter,”…

Why the branding of capitalism is broken?
he branding of capitalism is broken because it is constantly misrepresented. What is called “capitalism” today often includes heavy state intervention, corporate favoritism, bailouts, and regulation, systems that libertarians would describe as corporatism or cronyism, not true free markets. This confusion allows critics to blame capitalism for problems actually caused…
