"What has to be explained is" by Wilhelm Reich

-

“What has to be explained is not the fact that the man who is hungry steals or the fact that the man who is exploited strikes, but why the majority of those who are hungry don’t steal and why the majority of those who are exploited don’t strike.” Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism, trans. V. R. Carpagnano (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1975)
