" Mental Illness " as an old Stalinist smear


By the way, the constant vicious innuendo that a political non-conformist is " mentally ill " had its origins in Stalin's Russia.

Democratic socialists respect the common humanity of ALL political enemies and do not question- as a political tactic- the mental health of " reactionary " opponents.

Any REBEL - on the left or on the right - in American society can only laugh at " The Psychology of Personal Adjustment ".

I recall a book by psychiatrist Robert Lindner : " Must You Conform " . His " Rebel Without A Cause " was the inspiration for the 1954 James Dean movie.
