Re: the birth of the factory?

As if there's actually someone not psychotically anti-Freud left in the
Pragmatic States of America, there is Norman O. Brown and what
Friedlander derisively calls the "Excremental Theory of Capitalism."
Anal erotism is, I submit, a facet of sexuality and subject to study
just as much as is the cultural construction thereof. Can
analism-as-capitalism be reconciled with our present discussion?

Happy Thanksgiving.
