From a conversation with Steph tonight:
Marx made humanity look around itself, Darwin made it look at its past, and Freud made it look inward as it had never done before. I think the Nazis would have burned Freud’s books even if he hadn’t been Jewish. Looking inward eventually results in the recognition that every human being has the same interior life as you, and that notion is incompatible with Nazi fascism. People who realized that either worked to resist the Nazis or felt unabsolvable guilt for not doing so.
