What was known before me?
The idea that life = sexuality (Freud, Hartmann)
The concept of orgasm
The concept of tradition--subjective factor
The reactionary role of the family
The relationship of religion--Oedipus complex, father
The concept of the stasis of sexual excitation
The idea of spontaneous generation
The idea of sexual reform, indeed world sexual reform: sexual politics
Pregenitality
Character as fact
Methodology of dialectical materialism
The idea that the "savage" has another kind of life
The concept of social freedom--external conditions of same
Strategy and tactics of revolutionary politics
Social democracy
What did I bring?
The experimental proof of "sex = life"
The unknown formula of sexuality
The definition of the orgasm concept
The knowledge of the meansof the traditional effects of the family
Religion = sex with a negative sign
Church = sexual-political organization of the patriarchy
The experimental proof of spontaneous generation
The fundamentals of socialistic sexual politics
Unconscious = vegetative
Stasis = electrical tension
Character as dynamic-economic principle--armor
Functional identity of psychic and vegetative
Origin of the inner contradiction--dialectic law of development
Proof of the changeover from sex positive to sex negative in ethnology
Concretizing "freedom" as the capacity for sexual happiness, inner condition of this freedom
Restoring and making specific the concept of the masses--revolutionary politics = politics of need
Psychic fundamentals of social democracy, conditions of its failure
My faults and illusions
Little self-confidence despite absolute inner certainty, despite confirmation of hunches
Too short-term in my outlook
Requiring the other person to see things and act as I do
Demanding performance and recognition instead of conviction
Overlooking the effects of organizing = rigidification of movements (psychoanalysis and ommunism)
Not understanding why people flee from me--as fear of being disturbed
Too strongly bound to authorities
