“Carl Jung on the Psychology of Fascism”
This is a well-known but seldom-read interview with Carl Jung on the psychology of fascism and why people are attracted to fascism. It is called “WILL THE SOULS FIND PEACE?” (“WERDEN DIE SEELEN FRIEDEN FINDEN?”) I am not discussing Jung’s position, just reprinting the full text here. Judge for yourself…
— — Four days after the unconditional surrender of the German Army at Rheims, this interview by Peter Schmid was published in Die Weltwoche Zurich) for May 1945, under the title “Werden die Seelen Frieden finden?” (Will the Souls Find Peace?). The interview probably took place somewhat earlier.
