If not, would it be possible to have one, please? Or even one specific to Jung or shadow work?

    Western psychology is mostly imperialist bs. But aside from that, there probably is room for things like revolutionary psychology.

      Most Western psychology ignores Jung. I don’t think we should dismiss something just because it’s Western. Although religion has always had an unholy alliance with politics, I do also see it as primitive attempt to address psychological malady. That said, I’d love to even hear revo psych, let alone learn from it.

        There is a book called revolution afaik. It was featured on proles pod.

        I’m not sure if it is this: https://isj.org.uk/revolutionary-psychology/ but it was the first i could find rn. Would have to go to the episode which is awesome, btw.

        I was a fan jung before i became a marxist. Havent reframed him yet.

        And yes, I tend to blanket dismiss everything western because i need to balance the scales. Western ideology is cancer.

            I’ll probably come to that conclusion eventually. With my upbringing, this particular approach is making sense to me. I’m not seeking to blame anyone, either, something something every problem becomes a nail.

                All imposed onto people unbeknownst to them through conditioning that exists everywhere under capitalism.

                Conditioning happens everywhere, always. I will argue there is desirable and undesirable conditioning, and the ideas of conditioning are ever-evolving. For example a few days ago, rainpizza posted a video, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9326991/7092771 where this man spoke of ancestor worship influencing building a future for generations behind the current living generations. We can appreciate that is probably true and the primordial psychic urges (as well as modern social urges) that ancestor worship satisfies, without worshipping our ancestors, although they do deserve some credit, because they got us where we are now.

                I’ve never been exposed to revolutionary psychology, but I’ve been exposed to varying degrees, of various religiophilosophies, some of which were strong in my own upbringing. I’m very much interested in learning about revolutionary psychology. I’ll refrain from using a mythical archetype for my reasons.

        Needs to be understood in a wider sociological lenses that considers shit like ideology and its transmission thru structures (in this case, mental health treatment)
