Because of the crippling effect of their armor, many young people today also have a serious work disturbance. They are chronically helpless and in need of being taken care of. Throughout history, this need was partially satisfied by religion with mystical ideas of being cared for in the afterlife. However, traditional religions are losing their mystical hold on the masses of young people and this is why the Catholic Pope from the political right is currently courting an unprecedented, ideological alliance with forces of the political left. Today, Far-Left radical politicians have seized the opportunity and entered the political arena by promising the mystical masses with their illusion of hope and care. Through their political agendas, they are the ones who are saying that they will take responsibility and provide for all the helpless people in the here and now.
From a functional perspective, the mystical masses and the Far-Left radicals are now forming a powerful ideological relationship of attractive opposition in preparation for the upcoming political battle of the 2020 presidential election.

Neither Left Nor Right
The Emotional Plague
Charles Konia, M.D. 
This is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.
Dr.Konia, you are writing that the masses are getting ore contacless and are following radical left wing politicians into chaos.
What is in your perception the reason, why traditional religions are losing their mystical hold on the masses of young people and they are following these radical left wing politicians ?
What was the biological process, that cahnged society ?
Reich was right, when he wrote that Christ was not afounder of a religion, as it is written in the bible.
It is all about getting in contact.
Conclusion: Religion is not the solution of mankind, neither politics are.

There has been a fundamental transformation of Western Society from authoritarian to anti-authoritarian that began around 1960. This major social change is not recognized to this day although it is in front of everyone’s eyes. You can read about it in “Neither Left Nor Right”. I discuss this subject extensively in my forthcoming book, “Clueless”. There can be no sense of what is happening in society today unless this transformation is first understood.
Thank you, this is true, Dr.Konia, but I wonder, which biological process made this process and change of society possible, what and why did it all start.
I think I have to re-read your books, maybe you have written about these facts, the beginning of this process from authoritarian to anti-authoritarian society ?
One of the problems of Isamization in Europe is, that Islam is extrem authoritarian, and eventually there will be a shift from an anti-authoritarian to an authotarian-fascist society in some countries in Europe, especially most of the westen part of Germany, because of the increase of the muslim population in Europe.
In my perception the so called right-conservative political movement in Europe (le Pen in France, AFD in Germany etc.) is biological from the functional persperctive the counter movement to islamization.
In my opinion the question in Europe will be, if you want to live your lufe in a “left-wing islamo -authoritarian” Society and state (which will shift close to an islamic society over years) or a right-wing conservative state, that grants at least one more piece of personal freedom for individuals and its citizens.
Re hichad written, that, if a authority is eliminated revolutionary (look at Egypt, for example), it will be replaced very quickly over years by an even stronger authority, if the basic problems of mankind and society are not solved, the fear for freedom and responsibilty to live a free life.
So Reich was absolutely right.
May I ask you, when your new book “Clueless” will be published ?
I am sorry, in my comment above it has to be called:
“Reich had written”
Thank you Dr.Konia, this is true.
I have to re-read your books.
But I still wonder how this biological process started and why, I hope that I want to find something about in your books.
We have an anti-authoritarian society in Europe that submits to authoritarian islam.
Reich once wrote that if a society eliminates a revolutionary authority and does not solve the fundamental problem of human beings and mankind before, the fear of freedom and responsibility will gradually replace the first authority with an even stronger, more rigid one authority.
We are experiencing this in Europe, especially in the Western part of Germany.
In my opinion, in a few years in Europe, one has the choice between a left-wing Islamic state, that will shift into a islamic state bit by bit, or a right-wing conservative state, in which there will still be some freedom, ie individual freedom and human rights.
The right-wing conservative movement in Europe (Le Pen in France and AFD in Germany, etc.), I see from the functional perspective as a biological reaction to the left-wing Islamization in many states.
May I ask you when your new book “Clueless” will be published?
I am sorry, in my comment above it mus be called
“Reich once wrote, if a society eliminates revolutionary an authority and does not solve the fundamental problem of human beings and mankind before, the fear of freedom and responisibility, the first authority will be replaced by an even stronger, much more rigid authority.”
The anti-authoritarian transformation began with the breakthrough of peoples repressed sexuality following the breakdown of the authoritarian form of social armor around 1960 in America following WW II. I Expect the same thing happened in Europe as well. Hopefully, “Clueless” will be published some time this year.
In my comment below I am talking about the emotional plague, in German emotionale Pest,
I am sorry for the typos.
Thank you, Dr.Konia.
I had asked you about the biological process behind social changes –
Reich has written about sexuality.
The ’68 generation pornized sexuality, “sex” became a commodity, and never before was the fear of one’s own and other’s emotions so big, and never before was the hatred of delicate and tender natural sexual excitement so big as in anti-authoritarian society ,
I noticed that in Islam, the woman is “holy mother” and “whore”, it is the total rape of the woman, an absolute undermining of natural sexuality, a woman is degraded to commodity.
In pornography, “sex” is detached from human emotional contact as the product – in my opinion, this development is the biological basis for the islsmization in Germany.
The rape of women in Islam is now considered a form of “emancipation” in Germany.
The German Chancellor Schröder and the Foreign Minister Fischer both belong to the ’68 generation, they are both left-wing ideologues, and have legalized pornography and prostitution in Germany while at the same time giving German citizenship to thousands of Muslims.
The functional connection is unmistakable –
In Islam, the woman is the property of the man, by means of money and social prestige, which is totally evil.
Natural sexual excitation, love, is abondened in islam, for women it is a horror movie.
It is very dangerous for a western man or a western woman to be drawn into this islamic world, it is an expression of the pure emotional plague – from which a human literally comes out only with God´s help.
In other “cultures” such as e.g. In India, the body of the woman is considered impure – which is also considered to be pestilent.
It is in my perception very significant to look at the biological basis of a functional process, as Reich has done, that means sexuality.
Thank you. The emotional plague of armored humans is out to destroy the core function of human sexuality. You are right.
Thank you, Dr. Konia.

In Islam a woman is property of a man, of his money and social prestige, which is totally evil.
Natural sexual excitation, as love, is abandoned in Islam, for women is us nothing but a horror movie.
It is very dangerous for a western man or western women to be drawn into this, Islamic world, as it is an expression of the emotional plague – from which a human being literally comes out only with God’s help.
In other ‘cultures” e. g. India, the body of a woman is considered to be impure, which is considered, also to be an expression of the emotional plague.
In my perception it is very significant to look at the biological basis of a functional process, as Reich has done, that means to look at the sexuality that stands behind the individual behavior and society.
Dr. Konia, I would like to add the following to my last comment:
Wilhelm Reich was a genius, based on his intellect and his deep emotional contact, his sensitivity for the reality of life in society.
So let me ask a question, like Reich did.
What in terms of my comment above means Islamization, Antiauthoritarian society and pornography for the future society in Germany and Europe?
And what does it mean to the sexual and emotional rights of youth even in our times?
A friendly pedagogue told me the following facts from everyday life in a German school, in many schools children from Muslim families have already now.
Adolescent boys in puberty often have pre potent behaviors, in adolescence, in puberty, this may still be a development step (many adult men still have these pre genital behaviors, showing off money, the big BMW Car, the big house etc., it is nothing but an expression of sexual immaturity, that means emotional impotence)
German boys, mostly from Antiauthoritarian families, submit now to thexmajority of the authoritarian Muslim boys, and imitate their behavior towards girls, and it is considered to be cool, what is “haram” and it is “cool” to give orders to the girls, when they behave “not harm”.
It seems to be a game in puberty, but it is not, it us very dangerous for the future of society.
You can imagine, on what kind of of sexuality the German society in 20 years is based, which will then also determine the behaviourin everyday life – thus process is extremely destructive.
The conservatives ones, who will not submit to authoritarian Islam and the left ideology, will in the future leave Germany, it will be tried to destroy their life, or they might be even locked up in prison or psychiatry, Cas they Wil be considered to be “dangerous” for society., as society is contactlessness and flees from the truth.
So whoever wants to give his own children a future, so that they have the chance to become the happy children of the future, in my perception has to emigrate from Germany, living as a family alone in the forest, might be romantic, but you will not be able to escape this destructive process in German society.
I am sorry, for some errors in my comment above, coming from my browser on the phone.
For example it must be called:
“in many schools children from Muslim families have already the majority”
I hope you can read it anyway.
Thank you, Dr. Konia.
I think that our society is globally SO armoured that it no longer feels the necessity (or need) for its freedom of movement. To study the character armour is to question the whole of our society, from all points of view, under all levels: economic, emotional, sexual, environmental, social (“political”), loves, the Economy, “scientific” research, the exploitation of nature and its deterioration, etc. and of course, the absence of orgasm: this trance caused by the profound loss of self in copulation through love for other; sexual specificities, inner (female) and outer (male) (it should not be forgotten that the theory of yin and yang is a patriarchal theory); etc.
People are so far removed from Life that they now perceive it only as a “film”… they are, live, sleep, eat, work in a global cinema, 24/24.
The theory of the character armour (which is an immense discovery on the dehumanization of the human being and which proposes both a solution to this problem) It is frightening, because it reaches the deepest layers of the body, which are in immediate relationship with nostalgia for sexual satisfaction: it remains un-touchable because it requires, at the same time, a process not only individual, but above all collective. And since it is precisely this notion of “collective” that the character armour destroys… one wonders where the solution lies!
You are speaking of the emotional plague of armored humans which still remains generally unrecognized although it is right in front of everyone’s eyes to see. Unless this plague is understood and addressed nothing can change for the better. This is where Social Orgonomy comes in to be of help.
“The inner make-up of the love function determines every single feature in every single other activity of the individual.” [DH: including political belief and political behavior.] (Reich, W. (1953/1976). The Murder of Christ. New York: Pocket Books: page 42)
“In the final analysis orgasm anxiety is behind all armored manifestations.” [DH: including sociopolitical manifestations.] (Baker, E. 1967. Man In The Trap. New York: Collier Books, page xxxiii)
The emotional plague is a result of the general orgasm anxiety in armored society:
“…the emotional plague….develops violent hatred against any process which provokes orgastic longing and, with that, orgasm anxiety.” (Reich, W. (1949). Character Analysis, 3rd ed. Translated by Theodore P. Wolfe, M.D. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, page 260)

Sorry, didn’t mean to re-post the three portions of my post. It had looked like the original post was not going through, so I tried splitting it into three portions.
