The shock of
freedom works miracles. Nothing can resist it, neither mental illness, remorse,
guilt, the feeling of powerlessness, nor the brutalisation created by the
environment of power. When a waterpipe burst in Pavlov's laboratory, not one of
the dogs that survived the flood retained the slightest trace of his long
conditioning. Could the tidal wave of great social upheavals have less effect
on men than a burst waterpipe on dogs?, Reich recommends explosions of anger
for emotionally blocked and muscularly armoured neurotics. This type of
neurosis seems particularly prevalent today: it's survival sickness. The most
coherent explosion of anger has a great chance of being a general uprising.”
